Sooyoung, the multi-talented singer and actress from Girls’ Generation (SNSD), is captivating fans once again with her latest pictorial for W Korea’s Volume 6, June 2025 issue. Known for her elegant visuals and charismatic presence, Sooyoung’s new photoshoot has sparked buzz online, with fans praising her bold styling and short hairstyle, even as some wonder why her hair covers her face in several shots. Her ability to command attention in every frame is a testament to her enduring appeal and versatility as both an idol and a fashion icon.

But Sooyoung’s influence this year extends far beyond the pages of glossy magazines. She is set to make a major leap in her acting career with her Hollywood debut in “Ballerina,” the highly anticipated spinoff from the John Wick film franchise. Scheduled for release in North America on June 6, 2025, “Ballerina” stars Ana de Armas as Eve Macarro, an assassin trained at the Ruska Roma Ballet School. Sooyoung plays Katla Park, the daughter of Il-seong and the subject of Eve’s first mission, whom Eve must protect at the lavish Minus Eleven club.  The film also features franchise regulars like Keanu Reeves, Ian McShane, and Anjelica Huston, as well as the late Lance Reddick in his final appearance.

Sooyoung’s journey from K-pop stardom to international cinema highlights her remarkable versatility. Since debuting with Girls’ Generation in 2007, she has become one of South Korea’s most recognizable celebrities, not only as a performer but also as an acclaimed actress, having won Best Actress awards for her role in “My Spring Days” in 2014. Her recent projects include the romantic comedy “Second Shot At Love,” which premiered in May 2025, further cementing her reputation as a sought-after leading lady

Fans can look forward to seeing Sooyoung’s dynamic presence both on the big screen and in the world of fashion, as she continues to break new ground and inspire audiences worldwide. With her Hollywood debut and high-profile magazine features, 2025 is shaping up to be a landmark year for this Girls’ Generation star.
