Producer:Can I ask you another question? If you don’t want to respond or… if you don’t want us to include it in the video, we won’t. But of all the rumors you’ve heard about yourself, which is the most senseless?
Go Hyun Jung: That of the puma. The one about me hanging out with all the young actors or something? Like, it doesn’t make any sense.
