Go Youn Jung has shared a rare glimpse into her journey before becoming the star she is today!
On April 18, Go Youn Jung appeared on the YouTube channel Channel Fifteen Nights, where she took fans on a trip down memory lane, revealing photos from her days as a College Tomorrow magazine model.
Although her look was different back then, she still radiated that pure and fresh vibe everyone recognizes today.
She explained,
"My older sister suggested I apply to College Tomorrow. She took my photos, picked the best one, and then three days later, the magazine contacted me. After the magazine was published, casting calls started flooding in."
When producer Na Young Seok jokingly asked,
"Did offers start pouring in as soon as your face appeared in the magazine?"
Go Youn Jung responded,
"I think I got calls from about four different places."
Na PD joked,
"Then I should get my photo taken tomorrow too," causing everyone to laugh.
Go Youn Jung also shared her thoughts on her role in the hit drama Moving, saying,
"I auditioned for almost every movie and drama. I always thought, 'If they just let me try, I have to do really well.' But with Moving, I just knew I really had to do this one."
She continued,
"The character's way of speaking and personality felt really natural to me. I'm great at memorizing and preparing scripts, but I used to struggle with reading a script I got on the spot. However, the Moving script was so easy to read and felt like it matched me perfectly. My real personality is similar, but when I was in school, I didn’t have much free time because of entrance exam preparations."
Na Young Seok then mentioned,
"Even before Moving, the industry was buzzing that there’s a very pretty actress. Didn’t you hear that a lot?"
Go Youn Jung humbly replied,
"I don’t think I heard it that much. At least not so much that I got sick of it," and added,
"I’ve been street-cast before. I want to be an actress people never get tired of. Trends and characters may overlap, but I hope I’ll always keep people interested."
