On May 8, Innisfree released the first episode of the web drama "Summer Love" starring Lee Min Ho and Yoona of Girls' Generation. The web series kicks off in a cafe, as Lee Min Ho and his fictitious male friends discuss Yoona's off-putting relationship.
The scene pans to Yoona, who may have just argued with her boyfriend. She settles into a familiar conversation with Lee Min Ho and his friends, appearing to shrug off the encounter with her beau.

Lee Min Ho and Yoona previously appeared together in ad campaigns. Both stars have served as the spokesmodels for Innisfree and the outdoors brand, Eider. However, the "Summer Love" mini drama carries a surreal air for viewers. Yoona is publically involved with solo vocalist and actor Lee Seung Gi, who is known as one of the kings of endorsement. Lee Min Ho is dating Miss A's Suzy, who is also widely recognized for her endorsement contracts.
The four stars are endorsement powerhouses, who continue to attract new deals, defying the conventional theory that idols and actors cannot effectively maintain public relationships. In February 2015, Yoona who is also the spokesmodel for Clean & Clear, was recognized by CNN as one of the household names which is driving the Korean beauty craze in the Asian market.
Yoona is currently filming the Chinese drama "God of War Zhao Yun." The series, which is also known as "Wu Shen Zhao Zi Long" is a 60 episode historical romantic drama which is scheduled for broadcast on the mainland Chinese network, Hunan TV. Yoona portrays the love interest of Zhao Yun (Lin Gengxin). She is distraught when she learns that Zhao Yun was responsible for killing her father. "God of War Zhao Yun" is scheduled to air in the second half of 2015.
