Actress Go Jun Hee revealed during a recent interview with Newsen that her complex is her tall height, which has become a hindrance during her career from time to time.
She said, "Even now, my height is my complex. Even if I wanted to try being in an action film, they said that it's difficult when you're tall. They said that even when doing a simple kick, you would have to try much harder than others."

She continued, "In the past, I stood up to leave after a successful audition, and they asked, 'Wait, how tall are you?' In that instant, I was taken aback, and I lied saying that I was wearing insoles in my sneakers." Go Jun Hee also revealed that some male actors get uncomfortable and avoid standing next to her because of her height.

Your height really can be an asset. For one thing it gives you a lot of presence, and it makes you better suited for leading roles where presence is good. There are a lot of Korean leading men that that are very tall, and better to have leading ladies that are also tall, and you have a lot of other positive attributes to play a a leading role. I think it look so wrong when you have a leading lady that is so much shorter than the leading man. In the US there are quite a few women like Nicole Kidman who is 180cm, Charlize Theron is 176 cm, and leading men in the US are not that much taller than Korean, maybe on average 184cm. Hope you get to play against some of them so you can wear your heels.
