On November 27, Go Hyun-jung appeared on tvN’s “You Quiz on the Block” (episode 271), where she updated viewers on her recent activities.
During the broadcast, Go Hyun-jung revealed: “I’ve been keeping busy. I shot two projects back to back.” He continued, “After filming ‘Mask Girl,’ I went straight to another project, but the broadcast was delayed. After “Fairy Jae-hyung”, I became a topic on YouTube, which led me to work more. It wasn’t because of YouTube that I started making films, but it opened up more opportunities for me.” He also expressed a desire to return to variety shows, “I didn’t pay much attention to variety shows, but I come from that background.”
Go Hyun-jung, who recently began interacting with fans through his first social media accounts, added laughing: “I thought doing YouTube and Instagram would lead to more variety show offers, but nothing happened. It didn’t go the way I thought.”
He also talked about his personal life, “I’ve been involved in big news stories, so I didn’t want to keep talking about unnecessary personal details. Everyone is busy with their own lives and remembering past events simply reminds people of things they would rather forget. I believe it is better to work and live in silence. I have nothing to present because everything has already been revealed.”
Go Hyun-jung entered the entertainment industry after winning Miss Korea at the age of 19. Host Yoo Jae-suk said: “At that time, Oh Hyun-kyung was the winner, and Go Hyun-jung was the runner-up, and the pageant recorded the highest ever viewership rate of 54% in the history of Miss Korea.” She also shared that Marshall Beauty Salon and Seri Beauty Salon were fierce competitors at the time. Seri Beauty Salon had produced actress Kim Sung-ryung, and the following year Marshall Beauty Salon worked to make Go Hyun-jung its next star.
Go Hyun-jung shared why she entered the Miss Korea pageant, “My mother was quite fashionable. She went to Marshall Beauty Salon with her friends. I had long hair at the time and when I wanted to break out of the norm the only thing I could do was cut my hair. So I went to Marshall Beauty Salon.
When Go Hyun-jung met the owner of the salon, she remembered: “The owner asked, ‘Do you have any thoughts on this?’ I was offered the opportunity and that’s when I decided to participate.”
Go Hyun-jung made her debut as Miss Korea in 1989. She married Shinsegae president Chung Yong-jin in 1995, and the couple had a son and daughter before divorcing in 2003.
