YoonA appeared on the December 5 broadcast of the KBS 2TV variety show "Happy Together" along with her "Prime Minister and I" co-stars Lee bum Soo, Ryu Jin, and Yoon Si Yoon. Other than promoting the upcoming Mon-Tue KBS 2TV drama, YoonA also discussed about the false scandals that have appeared on her doorstep.
YoonA was in Hong Kong not long ago with Girls' Generation for the group's "World Tour: Girls & Peace". During her stay, YoonA was followed by paparazzi which led to a nasty tabloid exposure. The singer said, "A man was taking photos of me with a hidden camera while I was on the plane. It was taken at the time I was eating. Afterwards it was published on a Hong Kong tabloid. I never want to see that photo again in my entire life!"
Since then, YoonA's been regarded as one of Korea's natural beauties so it's inevitable to have YoonA linked with other guys in the industry. One of the most prominent male idol paired with YoonA is 2PM's Taecyeon, whom YoonA did a commercial shoot with for a Korean resort. The singer explained the scandal which stemmed from the idea that they were both sharing couple rings. "The ring I wear is something I had made with the rest of Girls' Generation and it was specially ordered from a retailer. Taecyeon's ring was an heirloom from his mother. The issue about us started when we danced together one time."
"I was also involved in a scandal with Heo Kyung Hwan," she continued, "People kept saying that I only kept appearing on 'Gag Concert' corner 'A Beggar's Dignity' was because I had a thing with Heo Kyung Hwan. It was completely ridiculous."
YoonA was also very open about how these scandals have hurt her in the past, thus earning her the nickname "Straight Talk Goddess" for her tendency to be upfront and straight about these issues that concern her.
