On the evening of November 27, the program “You Quiz on the Block” aired with the appearance of actress Go Hyun Jung. This is the first time the 1989 Miss Korea runner-up has appeared on a TV talk show in 15 years.
Immediately after that, the actress quickly entered the top search on Naver when sharing about her married life with her ex-husband, "Samsung crown prince" - Chung Yong Jin.
Go Hyun Jung shared: "When I graduated from university, my younger brother was studying abroad. At that time, I worked hard to fulfill my dream of studying abroad with my younger brother. But life did not turn out the way I wanted.
Suddenly, I was in love. I didn't know dating could be so much fun and I was completely immersed in it. I still can't forget the feeling at that time."
Korean fans were surprised by the actress's comments. They said that despite going through a "hellish" marriage, being forced to divorce, having her child custody revoked, and having her career suppressed, Go Hyun Jung still spoke well of her ex-husband.
This is not the first time the "Mask Girl" beauty has praised her ex-husband Chung Yong Jin and their marriage.
Previously, in a chat broadcast on YouTube, Go Hyun Jung frankly shared: "I got married when I was 22 years old and my partner is 25 years old. I really like him a lot. Chung Yong Jin is a person with a sense of humor, kind and delicate. I like him so much that I am willing to give up the entertainment industry for him."
Besides, the 1989 Miss Korea runner-up said that she would still marry her ex-husband again if he was just a normal person, not bound by family background.
Also in the conversation, the actress revealed the reason for the broken marriage: “We got married when we were too young and didn’t understand what was special about being a tycoon. If I had met him when I was a little more mature and grown up, I think I could have met everyone’s expectations, but unfortunately, I couldn’t do that.”
Go Hyun Jung was born in 1971 and entered the entertainment industry when she won the title of 1st runner-up of Miss Korea 1989. She became a famous star on the Korean screen through a series of works such as "Love of the Jujube Tree", "Mother's Heart of the Sea", "Hourglass", "Queen Seon Deok", "Mask Girl"...
In 1995, at the peak of her career, Go Hyun Jung suddenly withdrew from showbiz and married businessman Chung Yong Jin - the grandson of Samsung Group Chairman Lee Kun Hee.
Despite marrying the “crown prince” of a leading corporation, her marriage was not peaceful. She was treated as a maid, forced to divorce and deprived of custody of her children.
It was not until 2003 that Go Hyun Jung made an effort to rebuild her career and soon regained her footing in the profession. In addition to acting, she and her brother founded an entertainment company, produced films, and worked as a university lecturer...
