Yoona Juggles Baking and Demonic Chaos in 'The Devil Moved In' - A Supernatural Comedy Adventure
SNSD(Girls' Generation)'s Yoona Yoona's Hilarious Demon Makeover - Baking By Day, Chaos By Night? Imagine juggling a sweet bakery gig during the day but unknowingly morphing into a high-level demon at night - talk about a wild identity crisis! That's the quirky vibe Yoona from Girls' Generation is channeling in her upcoming film, ' The Devil Moved In ,' directed by Lee Sang-geun, the mind behind hits like 'Exit.' In this supernatural comedy, Yoona embodies Seon-ji, an ordinary baker whose nighttime alter ego unleashes all kinds of funny mayhem. It's like playing two characters in one, with Yoona nailing the innocent daytime charm and the addictive, fierce demon energy after dark. The plot thickens when a down-on-his-luck guy, Gil-gu (Ahn Bo-hyun), ends up demon-sitting, blending everyday job woes with otherworldly antics. Think a K-style mashup of supernatural laughs and relatable struggles, similar to those chaotic comedy flicks where characters flip between worlds like in 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa.' Yoona mentioned in her chat that tackling this split personality was a blast, letting her experiment with over-the-top physical changes and perfectly timed humor to keep the audience cracking up. Lee Sang-geun's light-hearted direction adds to the charm, making it a breezy watch perfect for unwinding after a long day. SNSD's 18th Anniversary Glow: Parties, Pics, and That Timeless Bond Since bursting onto the scene in 2007, Girls' Generation has been the ultimate K-pop blueprint, dropping timeless hits like 'Gee' and 'Genie' that still dominate playlists. Now in 2025, they're toasting their 18th anniversary, and Yoona's sharing the inside scoop on how these milestones keep their sisterhood strong. It all ties into bandmate Tiffany's birthday on August 1, just days before their debut date of August 5, turning her party into a mini anniversary reunion complete with group snaps. This year, Yoona nearly skipped due to shooting schedules but ditched midway to join, saying the pull to be with her 'sisters' was irresistible. These moments highlight why SNSD remains iconic - even with packed solo paths, they prioritize that genuine connection. As second-gen pioneers, they've fueled K-pop's global rise; a 2024 Statista report shows the genre's fanbase in places like South Asia jumping 25% lately, with classics like theirs fueling the nostalgia wave. It's akin to how we replay 2000s Bollywood tracks for that feel-good rush, but with SNSD's polished harmony and energy keeping the legacy alive. 20th Anniversary Tease: No Solid Plans, But Yoona's Dreaming Big As 2027's 20th anniversary approaches, excitement is building, especially after Yoona's casual chat on Yuri's YouTube sparked ideas like tours or events. But she set the record straight - it's all light-hearted brainstorming, not locked-in plans, with everyone busy and company details to sort. Yoona laughed off the hype, noting they're not big on rigid schedules, and the buzz turned their fun talk into headlines. Still, she's hopeful for something special to mark the milestone. Picture potential reunions, fresh music, or fan events that could celebrate their journey. This anticipation keeps the fandom buzzing, much like planning epic group hangouts with friends that start as wild chats over coffee. SNSD's impact goes beyond tunes, influencing fashion and empowerment vibes; a 2023 Nielsen Music study points to legacy acts like them driving 15% yearly growth in global merch sales, underscoring their enduring pull. Yoona's take shows even stars cherish those simple, joyful reunions, making the wait for 2027 even more exciting. Yoona's Time-Travel Drama: Chef vs. Tyrant King in a Culinary Clash Yoona's not just owning the big screen - she's set to shine in tvN's 'The Tyrant's Chef,' a fantasy romance where a modern French chef time-slips to Joseon era, facing off with a food-obsessed tyrant king across 500 years. Directed by Jang Tae-yoo of 'My Love from the Star' fame, it mixes survival thrills, culinary creativity, and romance. Yoona plays the upbeat, resilient chef Yeon Ji-young, fresh off a French cooking win, who ends up dishing fusion feasts for the palace instead of Paris spots. Despite a cast switch-up (Park Sung-hoon out, Lee Chae-min in due to issues), Yoona focused on her role, praising her co-stars' chemistry. She loves how films let her go wild with comedy, while dramas dive into romantic layers, and she's game for any solid script. It's like a Korean spin on time-bending stories with royal drama, echoing 'Jab We Met' vibes meets 'Jodhaa Akbar' intrigue, but with delicious food twists. Yoona's range from idol to actress keeps evolving, promising a thrilling 2025 with laughs and heart in equal measure.

Bosnian Serb separatist leader stripped of electoral mandate after ban
SARAJEVO, Aug 6 (Reuters) - Bosnia's election commission on Wednesday revoked the mandate of the separatist Bosnian Serb president after he rejected a court order jailing him for a year and banning him from political office for obstructing implementation of the 1995 peace deal. The commission's decision against Milorad Dodik will take effect after an appeals period expires. An early election for president of Bosnia's autonomous Serb Republic would then be called within 90 days, commission member Suad Arnautovic told reporters. The Russian-backed Dodik has rejected the verdict, which banned him from government for six years, saying he would keep going to work and vowing to seek help from both Moscow and U.S. President Donald Trump. The nationalist Serb Republic (RS) government also dismissed the sentence and Dodik's SNSD party invited the opposition to join it in the formation of a national unity government. "Surrender is not an option," Dodik said on his X profile after the electoral commission's decision, which was issued in the Bosnian capital Sarajevo and has little chance of being enforced without cooperation by Bosnian Serb authorities. Dodik's lawyer Goran Bubic said his team would ask Bosnia's Constitutional Court to suspend implementation of the jail sentence and political ban pending the outcome of his appeal. Leaders of Serbia, Russia and Hungary, opens new tab- all Dodik's backers, dismissed the jail term and ban, saying they were politically motivated. Dodik, who has long advocated secession of the RS from Bosnia, was sentenced in February for defying decisions of the Constitutional Court and international peace envoy, whose role is to prevent multi-ethnic Bosnia sliding back into civil war. Dodik has seen through the passage of separatist laws in the RS parliament that were later temporarily suspended by the Constitutional Court. He also ignored a summons by state prosecutors, who then issued an arrest warrant for him. Bosnia is suffering its worst political crisis since the 1992-95 war, which killed around 100,000 people. The peace accord divided the Balkan state into autonomous Serb and Bosniak-Croat federal entities with a weak central government.

(Video) Girls' Generation Hints At Comeback & Potential Tour For 20th Anniversary
While they haven't been active as a group in a while, Girls' Generation (소녀시대), a.k.a SNSD, are still making waves with their every move. Fresh off their 18th anniversary, the K-pop icons are now hinting at a possible comeback and a reunion tour. The group recently reunited to celebrate member Tiffany Young's (티파니 영) birthday and their 18th anniversary, which falls on 1st and 5th August. Each member also took to their Instagram pages to share pictures and videos from the celebration. Adding to fans' excitement, member Yuri (유리) also shared a vlog from the gathering. However, what piqued interest was one part of the vlog where the members seemingly discuss their comeback plans. In that particular moment in the vlog, the girl group discussed plans for their 20th anniversary, which may include a group comeback. Understandably, the audio was muted to maintain confidentiality, but Yuri did provide subtitles to explain the situation. She wrote, 'And suddenly a meeting about the 20th anniversary project began. SONEs are curious what our meeting was about, aren't you?' The singer also said that the group have been actively discussing their 20th anniversary plans. As it's a significant milestone for the idols, Girls' Generation hopes to present more exciting projects for their fans. While only snippets of the conversation were revealed, fans were able to deduce that the members are planning a possible tour. Some fans also pointed out that Tiffany had mentioned visiting 10 different cities during the discussion. The anniversary plans remain unconfirmed, but fans have already expressed excitement over the possibility of a new Girls' Generation tour. Many also quipped that they'll begin saving up to attend the shows. For your information, the group's last tour concluded in 2016. While the members did hold a group performance in 2022 to celebrate their 15th anniversary, they've never held multiple shows since going on hiatus from group activities. Like many fans, we also hope that the tour plans will come to fruition. Perhaps the group could consider bringing the tour to Malaysia too, since member Hyoyeon (효연) is quite familiar with the local scene. While we wait for some good news, check out Yuri's vlog below: Sources: YouTube, Twitter
