On April 22, the Korean outlet Xports News published an article which reportedly featured the a surprising body double who was cast for stunt scenes featuring Yoona of Girls' Generation for her Chinese drama, "Wu Zhen Zhao Zi Long." In the report, a side-by-side photo was used to demonstrate the contrast between Yoona and a male actor who was similarly clothed in a yellow traditional dress.
