May 9, 2026

YoonA’s next project was ‘Unnatural’.

According to MyDaily’s coverage on the 9th, Yoona has been cast as the lead in the Korean remake of the original Japanese series ‘Unnatural’.

YoonA will play the role of Im Do-eun, a UDI forensic pathologist. She possesses piercing eyes, a bright smile, and a gentle yet firm character. She is a forensic pathologist who burst onto the scene like a comet in an industry where talents are defined by an incredible appetite, a fiery temper, and tenacious persistence. Thanks to her fundamentally bright and upright personality, she maintains good relationships with many people. In the original series, the role was played by Japan’s national actress, Satomi Ishihara.

‘Unnatural’ is a mystery medical drama in which a forensic pathologist uncovers the truth behind cases hidden behind unnatural deaths. It is a drama that sparked a craze among Korean drama fans after airing on TBS in Japan in 2018. It swept a total of six awards at the 96th Japan Drama Academy Awards, including Best Drama, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Screenplay, Best Director, and Best Original Soundtrack. The Korean remake will be directed by Park Yoo-young […].

1. Daebak, she really suits it

2. I feel like she’ll be fine?

3. Her image really suits the character. Her eyes are so shiny

5. She really doesn’t suit that image. We’ll see if it blows up or flops

6. Ah the female lead has short hair, but I don’t see YoonA’s vibe

7. I f*cking loved Unnatural, but I feel like she’s not bad. I think she’ll be fine?!
