Fans can hardly believe their eyes: is this really the most beautiful “goddess of surgery” in Korea? Photos of Go Youn Jung appearing dramatically gaunt, with dark skin, sunken cheeks and tattered clothes, have gone viral on social media, leaving netizens in disbelief. Once praised for having Korea’s most “diamond” face, Go Youn Jung’s recent appearance marks a complete departure from her usual image.
But fans can breathe a sigh of relief: it’s all part of his role in the newly released romantic drama “Can this love be translated?”which is already attracting great attention. In the series, the 1996-born actress stars alongside heartthrob Kim Seon Ho.
Go Youn Jung takes on the role of Cha Mu Hee, a once unknown actress who rose to fame overnight after playing the lead character in a horror film titled The silent girl. Her big success comes with a dark twist: Cha Mu Hee begins to suffer from disturbing hallucinations, haunted by the character she played: Do Ra Mi, a terrifying figure with a decadent appearance.
The now-viral images are actually of Go Youn Jung in full Do Ra Mi mode, a physical manifestation of Cha Mu Hee’s spiraling state of mind. As his hallucinations intensify, his once glamorous career teeters on the brink of collapse.
Despite her worsening mental health, Cha Mu Hee agrees to appear in a travel-themed reality show that mixes romance and adventure in different countries. For this reason he needs a traveling companion who understands both his fragile condition and his multiple languages. That person is Joo Ho Jin, a calm multilingual interpreter played by Kim Seon Ho, who is also the man she has always loved.
While Go Youn Jung’s haunting visuals as Do Ra Mi shocked fans, she also wows with her elegance as Cha Mu Hee, effortlessly transitioning from haunting horror to refined beauty. From chic moments on the red carpet to raw emotional breakdowns, the actress once again demonstrates her versatility and unmatched visual appeal, adopting some of the most complex styles of her career to date.
