Go Youn Jung is turning heads – and dominating screens – with a face so charming that it has earned her global acclaim and the nickname “the new queen of K-drama”. The actress’ latest romantic drama, Can This Love Be Translated?, rose to number one on Netflix in 13 countries, thanks in large part to her flawless, camera-ready beauty and impressive acting skills.
Nicknamed by fans for her “diamond ratio” face, Go Youn Jung, born in 1996, captivates audiences with her elegant features: a high bridge nose, clear, expressive eyes and a delicate smile that seems sculpted for the screen. From the moment her character, world-famous celebrity Cha Mu Hee, appears in Japan, viewers have been glued to her every move. Some even admit they had to rewatch the scenes because they were too distracted by her face to read the subtitles.
Despite past rumors of cosmetic surgery, Go Youn Jung’s appearance is often praised for its natural and harmonious balance, so much so that she is often referred to as South Korea’s “perfectly enhanced beauty.”
What is most surprising is the way his seemingly reserved – sometimes called “stiff” – expressions bring a fresh and captivating dimension to his character. As Cha Mu Hee, she pairs her charming, aloof image with an innocent and goofy personality which leads to many comedic and heartwarming moments. The contrast is exactly what makes the show so compelling.
But Go Youn Jung is not just a mermaid on screen. Before taking over K-drama, she was already a muse in the fashion world, coveted by luxury brands like Chanel and Giorgio Armani. Her face, sculpted like art, made her a natural choice for spreads and editorial campaigns.
Now, whether it’s his ethereal appearance in Alchemy of Souls 2, the athletic edge in Moving, or the gritty realism of his role as the resident doctor in Resident Playbook, Go Youn Jung proves that his face can adapt to – and elevate – every role he takes on.
His images aren’t just a career boost; they have become a cinematic force in their own right. Through every frame, Go Youn Jung doesn’t just act, he embellishes the narrative, reminding the world why he’s one of South Korea’s most captivating stars.
