Updated: added the SectionTV cut of Yoona and Lee Minho’s Eider photoshoot (in which Yoona reveals a wish)!
[2011.08.13] + Added the subbed video of the abovementioned TV cut!
It was previously reported that Yoona and South Korean actor Lee Minho were selected to model for outdoor clothing brand Eider.
The two were scheduled to head to Australia for a CF shoot, however due to safety issues concerning climate change (what the?), both Yoona and Lee Minho will now be heading to Los Angeles on August 8th, for the shoot instead.
Apparently, for the CF, Yoona will be physically scaling the rocky terrain of LA’s mountains, and as a result has been hard at work practicing on indoor rock climbing surfaces at training centers in Seoul.
An official who monitored Yoona’s rock-climbing practice commented:
I’m sure Yoona is very busy due to SNSD’s activities but it seems that her rock-climbing technique is pretty good. I think she is ready for the actual rock-climbing.
For us SONEs concerned about our choding’s safety as she tackles the mountains of LA, fear not as both Yoona and Lee Minho will be given complete instructions and information from rock-climbing experts, as well as being fully equipped with safety devices.
If there’s anyone that can take on mountains, it’s Yoona!

Tidbit: I’m disappointed that Yoona won’t be coming to Australia for this shoot. Oh well, there’s always that K-pop concert in November though 🙂
Bragging right: I’ve done a bit of free climbing (no rope/gear) myself, and it’s not easy…

*Update!* (7 August 2011)
Here’s the SectionTV cut of Yoona and Lee Minho’s CF photoshoot!
In the interview portion with Lee Minho and Park Seulki, Yoona reveals that if she had a boyfriend, the one thing that she would wish to do the most is give him a back hug. Hilarity ensues when Park Seulki cheekily gives Lee Minho a back hug in place of Yoona after hearing her wish.

“CLIMATE CHANGE, IT’S SERIOUS BUISNESS”.
Hahaha, no really, all the best for Yoona and Lee Minho.
Those two look like a really plausible pair.
*BUSINESS.

Yoona FIGHTING!!!
they look matching couple… i can accept… look good…
oh jeez… she’s holding hands with that guy!
I’mma kill him! LMAO!!
WOOT…Way to go YoonA…. Be safe when you’re climbing kay? Lee Minho is a lucky guy…
~~YoonA Saranghae!!~~
hahaha that ‘(what the?)’ was hilarious!
WOW.. awesome! rock climbing is hard i tell ya…
Climate change, really?! How does that affect anything?! (I am impartial, btw. I’m a brit) Anyway, goodluck yoona unnie and minho oppa! I completely fail at rock climbing! I tried it at camp and constantly fell face first into the rock, ouch
Waaa, Yoona was so pretty during that interview. My heart stopped beating for 5 minutes.
I am sorry, please translate this and Yoona please be safe..
haha! she acted alongside yoona in YAMD! havent seen her in a while xP
pretty YoonA ❤ and lee Minho *.* he is soooo good looking!
it’s just because South Korea and California was about the same hemisphere while Aussie’s in another hemisphere, so maybe it has to do with the climate change.
not really sure though.
as long as we got to see Yoona, that’s enough! woohoo~
You’re not far off. It’s winter down here and summer in Korea/California, the sudden change in climate can offset their health so that’s probably why they won’t be coming to Australia.
Lee Minho is as handsome as usuall! LEE MINHO FTW! <3<3<3
Lee min ho with Yoona= HOTNESS OVERLOAD! I demand a drama with them tgt please!!!!
ahh their coming to Cali 🙂 i want to meet them!!!!
… I didn’t even know LA has mountains lol
eeerrrr… “climate change”?
Maybe they’re referring to all the rain that’s been forecast for this week.
Please sub this video.
Minho is soooooo hot and cute *o* They look good together
Thank you for the subs! Omg i think Lee Minho and Yoona looks like a very good couple, hard to say =( Yoona Yoona your so Pretty!!
I wonder if they meant something different than “climate change”, like it being winter in Australia. Or maybe it’s the dust storms.
