Actress Go Hyun-jung opened up about her honest feelings regarding rumors of excessive dieting.

On the 7th, a video titled "Getting to Know Go Hyun-jung" was released on the YouTube channel 'Just Min-kyung'.

The released video features Go Hyun-jung contemplating the direction of her YouTube content and Kang Min-kyung planning various challenges to support her.

Following Kang Min-kyung's suggestion, Go Hyun-jung took on pilates and recording challenges, and even ate 'naengsam' (cold ginseng soup) for the first time in her life. At the end of the video, Go Hyun-jung's own rendition of Han-ro-ro's "Ipchun" (Start of Spring) was revealed, along with a cautious update on her health condition that she had not previously shared.

Go Hyun-jung explained, "I used to have a sensitive personality, but that has changed. However, in 2020, I underwent emergency surgery for a very serious condition. They only sutured the area connecting the duodenum and pancreas. There were also issues with my stomach. It was complex."

She continued, "After having that done in 2020, I took medication and recovered well. But in 2024, I experienced several incidents of extreme stress, which caused me to collapse again. I needed to go to the hospital, but the emergency room would only accept CPR patients. After being turned away repeatedly, I reached a point where I could no longer endure, so they finally admitted me. I went into surgery around 12:20 or 12:30 at night and survived."

Regarding her condition after surgery, Go Hyun-jung said, "In the past, you might have noticed I spoke slowly, but now you probably feel I lack energy, right? The reason I appear to lack energy is that I truly do lack energy. I used to be able to eat anything and do anything, but now I can't. Even though I love kimbap, I'm terrified that eating just one or two pieces might cause something to happen. I hate getting a stomachache from eating anything."

Kang Min-kyung asked Go Hyun-jung, "What did your attending physician say?" Go Hyun-jung replied, "They told me to take my medication regularly and to eat even if I don't want to. That's why I feel a bit depressed. People say being slim is good to a certain extent, and you need energy, but don't they say that as we age, we live on rice?"

She also addressed the misunderstanding about excessive dieting, stating, "Some people think I'm dieting extremely severely. How could I possibly do a diet I never did when I was young and healthy, especially at this moment when my health is fluctuating? It's truly not the case. I am working hard to visit the hospital regularly and take my medication. I want to recover quickly so I can manage my health strictly and start strength training."

Previously, Go Hyun-jung underwent surgery in 2024 due to deteriorating health. After being discharged, she issued a statement: "I am sorry for causing worry. I am now recovering well and becoming healthier. I sincerely bow my head in gratitude for your support and concern."
