Actress Gong Hyo Jin, often admired for her fashion sense, recently admitted that she has "given up on fashion".

On August 29, a video titled "Gong Hyo Jin's New Wardrobe That I Just Ended Up Browsing Instead of Organizing" was uploaded on her YouTube channel, "For a While Gong Hyo Jin".

In the video, Gong Hyo Jin gave a peek into her wardrobe and opened up about her changing relationship with fashion. She said, "These days, my related videos are mostly about cooking with dogs or just hands. Honestly, I feel a sense of crisis. I've given up on fashion. My wardrobe has gotten much smaller. Instead of filling it up, I just want to keep emptying it, so I'm always looking for things to throw away."

She continued, "When I'm not working, I wear a lot of stylish clothes, but when I’m off, I end up looking messy and wonder if it's okay to dress like that. Right now, I’m in movie filming mode, so I wear clothes that are easy to put on and take off. I avoid heavy clothes because they tire me out."

She added, "I also don’t carry heavy bags. Even when they were trendy, I didn’t buy them. If I have to carry something uncomfortable during filming, people tell me, ‘Put that down for a bit,’ but I’m the opposite. As soon as they say 'cut,' I immediately put it down. I don’t want to carry it even for a second longer," she laughed.

Gong Hyo Jin also shared some styling advice, admitting, "It’s an old style. I’ve reached the point where I need lessons on trends. I should probably get some tips from NewJeans' stylist. But I was once a fashionista."

She reminisced about her fashion choices in dramas, saying, "The most important thing I focused on was avoiding common trendy items. When a drama becomes popular, certain items become trendy. When I did 'The Producers,' I thought about it a lot. I had been playing poor roles, like a young breadwinner, but this time my character could shop well."

She added, "After some thought, I wore a bustier with high-waisted pants. I even went shopping in New York for two days, bought items, and asked a designer friend to modify them in different colors to create new outfits."

Meanwhile, Gong Hyo Jin's YouTube channel has recently surpassed 40,000 subscribers. She expressed her gratitude, saying, "I think the fans who are subscribed now are the ones who like me no matter what I do. The number of fans who will like whatever I do is probably the number of subscribers on my YouTube channel."

She added, "I started YouTube to connect with those who have supported me all this time. It’s been over 25 years since I debuted, and keeping a mysterious image doesn’t feel fair anymore. But I’m so thankful and surprised that the number has exceeded 40,000. I’m really grateful, and I will continue YouTube for the 40,000 subscribers. I'll keep my word."
