Born in 1971, Go Hyun-jung is now 53 years old. She was crowned runner-up in the 1989 Miss Korea pageant and made her acting debut through KBS’s “Love on a Jujube Tree.” Although he has been in the entertainment industry for 35 years, his youthful appearance makes it hard to believe.
In fact, Go Hyun-jung was a top star at the height of his popularity in the early 1990s.
At the beginning of her career, she fascinated the audience with her extraordinary beauty, worthy of a Miss Korea title holder, her tall stature and slim figure. Her debut-era photos range from her fresh-faced, no-makeup look to unique fashion choices that show her as a fashionista, offering a glimpse into ’90s trends.
In particular, some bold outfits stand out, such as full-body tights. His style, including jeans paired with crop tops and cropped jackets, remains timeless and wouldn’t look outdated even today.
Go Hyun-jung has gained immense popularity as an actress, starring in hit dramas such as “Eyes of Dawn”, “Mother’s Sea” and “Sandglass”. However, in 1995, she married Chung Yong-jin, a third-generation chaebol and now president of the Shinsegae Group, resulting in a hiatus from the entertainment industry. The couple had a son and a daughter, but divorced in 2003 after eight years of marriage, with custody given to President Chung.
According to the actress, she misses her children terribly, expressing her pain at not being able to see them.
After her divorce, Go Hyun-jung returned to acting in 2005 and has continued her acting career since then. The actress will appear in ENA drama “Namib,” which is scheduled to premiere on December 23.
However, Go Hyun-jung recently caused concern as she was sent to the emergency room due to worsening health and had to be absent from the “Namib” press conference.
