In the new television series - "Namib" (also known as "Starry Night"/tentative translation: Starry Night) scheduled to be released later this year, Go Hyun Jung drew attention when playing the role of Kang Soo Hyun.
She is a well-known producer and co-executive director of Pandora Entertainment, known for developing idols with her unique vision and approach.
After being fired from her role as co-executive director, she embarked on a new project to create a star and regain her position in the industry.
To achieve this, Kang Soo Hyun chose Yoo Jin Woo (Ryeoun) as her trainee. Previously, Jin Woo made his debut as an idol for 10 years.
However, he is standing at the brink of giving up his dreams due to his parents' debt and his own career failure. With CEO Kang's choice, Jin Woo began his training process with a new determination.
The Korea Times evaluated that the character of Kang Soo Hyun played by Go Hyun Jung is quite similar to the real-life image of Min Hee Jin - CEO of ADOR (a subsidiary of HYBE), who has been embroiled in a management scandal with HYBE since April.
According to the media, HYBE has attempted to remove Min - known as the "mother" of K-pop phenomenon New Jeans, accused her of trying to gain complete control over ADOR.
The dispute between the two parties has gradually become a legal battle with a series of shocking information revealed publicly.
This has also sparked a heated debate, with many people arguing that HYBE and Min Hee Jin are the reason why NewJeans and related groups have been significantly affected in terms of image.
However, the fact that "Namib" explores the story of Kang Soo Hyun with similarities to Min Hee Jin still garnered much attention from the media and audiences, as the series promises to help the public uncover the power struggles and reality of the Kpop industry.
Aside from Go Hyun Jung, the film features Yoon Sang Hyun in the role of Kang Soo Hyun's husband - a former music producer who turned into a homemaker after his son (Lee Jin Woo - Ghost9) lost his hearing in a car accident when he was young.
