On May 15, The Big Issue magazine revealed Girls’ Generation member YoonA’s pictorial and interview.

In the pictorial, YoonA showed off various looks, wearing a long dress in one photo and a suit jacket with shorts in another. In the accompanying interview, she opened up about a special birthday tradition and love for her fans.

“Every time around my birthday on May 30, I have always had a birthday party with my fans, but this time, I was not able to do so due to various circumstances. I was wondering what I could do instead, and I felt like trying something meaningful, so I thought of The Big Issue,” she explained. The Big Issue is a magazine that aids the homeless or those at risk of homelessness by helping them earn legitimate income as they sell them at subway stations.

YoonA, who has been active with social contributions like donations and volunteer work, thanked her fans, saying, “I’m the type to think about what I am able to do and what I can put my heart into. I think more love comes from sharing. My fans will do good things under my name, and I am very thankful for that. I think my fans and I share a type of energy that has us living with good hearts,” she said.
