On the 16th, an episode titled 'Why Are There So Many Rumors About You, Hyun-jung?' was released on Jung Jae-hyung's YouTube channel 'Fairy Jae-hyung'.
In this episode, Jung Jae-hyung revealed that he invited Go Hyun-jung as a guest. He said, "Go Hyun-jung readily agreed to come. I asked her to come when she had a work project, but she said, 'No, I’ll just come. What's the use of coming when I have something?' showing a general-like attitude."
Upon Go Hyun-jung's arrival, Jung Jae-hyung was astonished by her beauty, praising her timeless charm. Go Hyun-jung, in response, playfully reminded him of her Miss Korea past.
During her visit, go Hyun-jung admired Jung Jae-hyung's house, to which he replied, "I actually visited your house in Bangbae-dong. It felt endless, like 'this is what an actress's house is like'." Go Hyun-jung jokingly urged him to be more genuine in his comments.
When asked about her recent whereabouts, Go Hyun-jung said, "I was quite ill, more than I thought. But I thought of my illness as something imaginary. I didn’t go to the hospital because I thought I wasn’t really sick and I was just overthinking it." Jung Jae-hyung commented, "Enduring pain is part of Go Hyun-jung's character," to which she laughed and agreed.
Go Hyun-jung continued, "As I stayed home enduring the pain, it got significantly worse. So, I went for a health checkup and it turned out to be serious. My condition was too critical for a regular checkup. Two hospitals had to collaborate to conduct it. After completing the checkup, they found some issues. I thought I'd be fine after treatment, but I collapsed on the street. While collapsing, I unconsciously said, 'I’m Go Hyun-jung, please save me.' After regaining consciousness, I went to the hospital, got properly diagnosed, received treatment, and spent quite some time there before being discharged. That experience changed me a lot. Everyone has life-changing moments."
Jung Jae-hyung expressed his sadness upon hearing that she had been seriously ill for two years. Go Hyun-jung reassured him, saying, "I’m much better now. I regularly visit the hospital and take my medication." She also mentioned how her life has changed after her illness, "I used to decline meeting people and didn't answer calls. I even got a landline because I got rid of my cell phone. But after getting sick, I meet anyone who invites me and actively attend gatherings. I even cook for myself."
Regarding her comeback to acting, she said, "I was discharged from the hospital in August and found some scripts at home. Among them was a romantic story. I thought I should do it before getting older. That’s how I got into 'The Person Who Resembles You'."
When asked why she doesn't work on many projects, she humorously replied, "Why wouldn’t I do more work? It’s just that offers don’t come in." Addressing her aura of mystique, she candidly spoke about her divorce, saying, "Isn’t that something everyone goes through? I might have appeared quite resolute and without regrets about getting married. Even during my marriage, people continued to show interest, and paparazzi photos were taken. I’m thankful for that in a way, but I couldn’t only think about myself. I didn’t want to be photographed in such situations, but there were many times when I couldn’t avoid it."
During her visit, Go Hyun-jung enjoyed food prepared by Jung Jae-hyung and was continuously impressed. Responding to his culinary skills, she jocularly remarked, "It’s a good thing it’s not from Shinsegae. It’s from Hyundai Department Store."
Go Hyun-jung also opened up about the rumors involving her junior colleague, Jo In-sung. Jung Jae-hyung brought up their collaboration in the drama 'Dear My Friends', where they played lovers. Go Hyun-jung said, "Since brother Jae-hyung brought it up, I’ll talk about it. I made a comeback with In-sung. Since then, there have been continuous rumors. There’s even a photo of us at the airport. Song Joong-ki and Lee Min-ho were also there, but only we were photographed." She sighed, "In-sung met me when he was 25. He’s a manly and nice guy, but he’s not for me. He has eyes too. (He also has taste)"
On the topic of the 'In-sung controversy', she said, "The most hurtful thing was hearing 'Forget everything else, just fix your character.' I’m not that bad. Please see me in a good light."
