Initial phase
Go Min Si was born in 1995 in Daejeon, South Korea. After graduating from Yale Beauty High School with a degree in beauty, she began working in wedding planning to earn a living.
Since childhood, Go Min Si has had a passion for acting after accidentally watching an end-of-year awards show. The title of “actor” thus became her goal, motivating her to move to Seoul to pursue her dream.
At the time, she had just arrived in Seoul to start her career and lacked acting experience and skills, which led to her repeated failures at auditions.
Determined to pursue an artistic career, Go Min Si created a short film titled Parallel novelin which she played three key roles: screenwriter, director and leading actress.
Fortune smiled at her like Parallel novel won the Daesang (the highest award of the ceremony) at the fourth SNS Three-Minute Film Festival, bringing Go Min Si to the attention of many filmmakers.
With a favorable start, Go Min Si appeared in the web drama 72 seconds as an extra. At that time, because she didn’t have a management company, she had to prepare all the costumes and transportation herself.
After the project concluded, Go Min Si received his first salary to support his living expenses. She also joined Mystic Story Entertainment and started working as a professional actress.
Go Min-si, 29, is considered a member of the “MZ Tae-Hye-Ji generation” (Tae-Hye-Ji refers to the top 3 beauties of the Korean entertainment industry Kim Tae-hee, Song Hye-kyo , and Jeon Ji-hyun). He boasts good looks and exceptional acting skills. Despite his young age, Go Min-si has starred in numerous major projects acclaimed across Asia.
Go Min-si’s career now looks like a series of triumphs, but few would imagine that he faced over 1,000 audition rejections. The reason wasn’t his lack of skill or looks, but rather his lack of an acting degree.
According to Go Min-si, she grew up dreaming of becoming an actress, but her parents wanted her to become a soldier or study to become a diplomat. After graduating from high school, she struggled with career choices and eventually studied business, becoming a wedding planner. During that time, he constantly questioned his happiness at work, eventually deciding to leave his stable career to move to Seoul, work part-time, and take acting lessons.
Career
Initially, Go Min-si took a long audition, only to face rejection. The actress confessed “I auditioned more than 1000 times but failed each one. I never gave up. Back then they often asked me which theater and cinema department I graduated from.”
However, this only fueled Go Min-si’s determination. He once declared, “I gritted my teeth and decided to prove that acting is not based on educational background.”
Indeed, Go Min-si proved to be right. Having no degree in acting, he gradually built an impressive career before turning 30. Her notable works in television series such as “Youth of May” and “Sweet Home” have made her a household name across Asia. Last year, he also delivered an outstanding performance in the film “Smugglers,” which became a box office hit in Korea, grossing 96.2 billion won domestically. To date, Go Min-si can proudly boast success in both film and television, with numerous prestigious awards to his credit.
Additionally, Go Min-si has demonstrated skill in screenwriting and directing. As a newcomer, he directed, wrote and starred in the short film “Parallel Novel”, which was highly appreciated for its artistic value and won a significant award at the Three Minutes Film Festival.
