South Korean singer and actress Im Yoon-ah, widely known as Yoona, recently brought her radiant energy and star power to Thailand, enchanting fans during a special event in Bangkok. On December 13, 2025, Yoona hosted the 'Bon Appétit, Your Majesty YOONA DRAMA FANMEETING'—a gathering that drew not only an enthusiastic crowd of Thai fans but also significant attention from local media, underscoring her global reach and the enduring popularity of her latest drama, 'Bon Appétit, Your Majesty.'
Yoona, a member of the iconic K-pop group Girls’ Generation and now a celebrated actress, arrived in Bangkok with a sense of excitement and gratitude. Just a day after the fan meeting, she shared a series of photos on her personal Instagram account with the simple caption, “BANGKOK.” The images captured her in a variety of looks, from a casual checkered hooded sweatshirt at the airport to an elegant, light gold off-shoulder dress at the event itself. According to OSEN, Yoona’s understated style, complete with a pink hairband and light makeup, highlighted her natural elegance and charm, proving that sometimes less really is more.
But it wasn’t just Yoona’s fashion that captivated her audience. The fan meeting itself was a carefully crafted affair, designed to foster deep connections between Yoona and her supporters. According to News1, she engaged fans with a series of interactive activities—including a drama-themed quiz, a game where she guessed keywords based on fans’ gestures, and even a hands-on demonstration of making the traditional Thai dessert 'bua loy,' which she then gifted to a lucky attendee. The event was peppered with moments of laughter and heartfelt exchanges, as Yoona also took part in a playful photo session, donning headbands and Christmas-themed props to the delight of her fans.
One of the highlights of the evening was a collaborative musical performance. Yoona treated the audience to a live rendition of the drama’s original soundtrack, 'Moonlight Road,' featuring the popular artist 10cm. This special stage, exclusive to the fan meeting, added an extra layer of intimacy and excitement, making it a night to remember for everyone present. As Sports Seoul reported, Yoona’s stage presence and ability to shift effortlessly from playful to poised left a lasting impression, further cementing her status as a “rom-com queen.”
The atmosphere in the venue was electric, with fans responding enthusiastically to every segment. Many held up banners reading, “Every moment with Yoong tastes like happiness,” a slogan that Yoona herself echoed with a bright smile. The warmth was mutual, as Yoona took a moment to thank her supporters directly: “I’m so happy to spend this time with you after a long while. Your continued support and love have made it possible for us to meet like this. Thank you so much for enjoying the drama and being here with me,” she said, according to News1. It was a sentiment that resonated throughout the evening, as fans reciprocated with cheers, slogan events, and emotional reactions.
The scale of Yoona’s popularity in Thailand was evident not only from the packed venue but also from the presence of over 30 local media outlets, all eager to capture the event and report on her global influence. As the drama 'Bon Appétit, Your Majesty' continues to garner international acclaim—boasting a peak viewership rating of 17.1% during its run on tvN—Yoona’s cross-border appeal shows no sign of waning. Her portrayal of the lead character, Yoon Ji-young, a genius chef navigating the challenges of palace life, has struck a chord with audiences far beyond South Korea.
Behind the scenes, Yoona’s journey to Bangkok was marked by thoughtful preparation. She approached the fan meeting not just as a routine promotional stop, but as a chance to create lasting memories with her international fanbase. As OSEN described, her carefully coordinated looks—from the airport to the event hall—reflected both her approachable personality and her flair for elegance. Her simple, movie-scene smile and well-coiffed hair were just the finishing touches on a presentation that was as much about authenticity as it was about glamour.
The Bangkok gathering is just one stop in a larger series of fan meetings, with about 30 events planned in total, as reported by News1. The tour will culminate in Seoul on December 20, 2025, where Yoona is set to unveil a brand-new song for the first time—an offering she describes as a way to give back for the outpouring of love she has received over the past year. Fans in Seoul are already buzzing with anticipation, eager to witness this exclusive performance at the final event of the series.
Yoona’s commitment to her fans is clear not only in her words but in her actions. She has promised to continue organizing fan meetings in the future, emphasizing the joy she finds in sharing happy moments with her supporters. “I plan to hold the fan meeting again in the future to meet fans and share happy moments,” she stated, as reported by News1. This ongoing dialogue with her audience is a hallmark of her career, one that has helped her maintain a devoted following through the years.
Throughout the evening in Bangkok, Yoona’s ability to balance star power with genuine warmth was on full display. Whether she was striking a playful V-sign pose behind a curtain, gifting homemade desserts, or simply listening to fans’ questions, she remained approachable and sincere. The event was a celebration not just of her recent drama’s success, but of the enduring bond between artist and audience—a relationship built on mutual respect and affection.
As the final curtain prepares to fall on this chapter of Yoona’s career with the upcoming Seoul fan meeting, both fans and media are left reflecting on the impact of these gatherings. They are more than just promotional events; they are opportunities for connection, gratitude, and shared joy. For Yoona and her supporters, every moment truly does taste like happiness.
