Go Hyun-jung holds first-ever fanmeeting
by javabeans
Twenty-one years after making her acting debut, Go Hyun-jung held her very first fanmeeting on June 13. The event was held at the CGV Art Hall in Times Square in Seoul’s Youngdeungpo neighborhood, with a group of 500 attendees.
Although her What’s Up Fox co-star Chun Jung-myung had initially been planned as a special guest, he was unable to come due to his work schedule, and instead two other former co-stars came to fill that role: Ha Jung-woo, who acted with Go in the police drama HIT, and Jung Woong-in, who is currently appearing in Coffee House and acted with Go in Queen Seon-deok.
Go also held a press conference beforehand, while Kim Jae-dong acted as the MC for the event proper. Per the usual fanmeeting format, she sang songs for the fans, answered questions, and prepared video clips.
Rather than waiting for requests, Go decided to hold the event herself, which she admitted made her feel a little embarrassed. She initiated the fanmeeting as a thank-you to all her fans who have come to the set on her birthdays and expressed their support for her over the years.
Although she no longer keeps up an address for sending physical fan letters as she used to as a younger actress, she explained, “But these days they’re more active with things like making [online] fan cafes and coming to the filming sets and preparing snacks.” Go said she wasn’t sure of how to go about doing it all, because “When I was younger, I didn’t have much experience with things like that. I received fan letters, but fan culture has changed now. I didn’t want to only keep receiving, and before I got any older I wanted to tell them my thanks and give back to them, even if I do feel a little embarrassed.”
Go Hyun-jung made her debut in 1989 when she won the Miss Korea competition, and became hugely popular with the hit drama Sandglass. She married (and had a bitter divorce from) a chaebol and was widely considered a real-life Cinderella, and retired from the spotlight to have children and focus on her family. She made her acting comeback in 2005’s Spring Days, which she followed with a string of roles such as What’s Up Fox, HIT, Woman on the Beach, and most recently Queen Seon-deok, for which she won the Daesang at both the MBC Awards last year and the Baeksang Arts Awards.
Go’s next project is the fall SBS drama Daemul, wherein she pairs with Kwon Sang-woo and plays a female president.

I've only seen her in "What's Up Fox?", but I loved her there, seriously, I really felt her character, and she was so cute, next to actually BEING her character, and not just acting it! I wish her all the best, and hope that she might return to comedy in the future : )

I love her in 'A Spring Day'. Her comeback drama. Since Jo In Sung in army, no wonder she asked CJM. I wonder if both actors available at this time. Sure it made headline. :)

For many reasons What's up Fox was my all time favorite Kdrama. I would have loved to have been there.

btw she made the evil team look right if you look in history of some countries heroes like Mishil are made Saints and National heroes just because they did some great things and their bloodiest sins are overlooked
and also made MiShil look as a woman before her times and acting accordingly with the rules/fashion of the time descripted in QSD
hmm the puppy(from What's up Fox) was bad how come he wasn't at noona's fanmeeting...bad puppy... (I loved that drama too)

She reached iconic status as Yoon HyeRin in SANDGLASS (just before her retirement at the mere age of 24), but in the 4-5 years from her debut till her marriage, she already had a string of popular roles, from her supporting but memorable turn in the epic drama EYE OF DAWN through two popular romance storylines in weekend dramas opposite heavyweights Choi Jae-Sung and Choi Min-Soo, until SANDGLASS came along and sealed her place in k-drama history. It's frightening how good she was even in early 20s.
Eg. in MY MOTHER'S SEA (1993) with Choi MS and veteran actress Kim HyeJa (who played her mother):

and of course, SANDGLASS (1995) which reunited her with Choi MS and Park Sang-Won (her co-star in EYE OF DAWN):

re: her marriage & divorce-- she married into the Samsung family (her MIL is the youngest daughter of Samsung's founder, the younger sister to the current chairman & CEO, and the head of the Shinsegae group, famous for its luxury department stores in Korea); had a son & daughter; and upon her divorce, had to renounce custody of her children (5 yo & 3 yo at the time). She hasn't seen her children since, as severing all contact was part of the deal.

@ #17 No he never said he has feelings for her. He's only been mentioning her as a close noona. That's it. Please don't make things up like that.
