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 tried '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, alongside her cautious sharing of her health condition, which she had not previously discussed.

Go Hyun-jung explained, "I used to have a sensitive personality, but that has changed. However, in 2020, I underwent a major emergency surgery. 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 highly stressful incidents. As a result, I collapsed again. I needed to go to the hospital, but the emergency room would not admit me unless I was a CPR patient. After being turned away repeatedly and reaching a state of unbearable distress, they finally admitted me. I underwent 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 feel better just eating anything and doing whatever, but now that doesn't work well. Even kimbap, which I love so much, scares me. 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 having energy is important, but don't they say that as we age, we live on rice?"

Addressing the misunderstanding about excessive dieting from some quarters, she added, "Some people think I'm dieting extremely severely. How could I possibly do a diet I never did when I was young and healthy, at this moment when my health is fluctuating? It's truly not the case. I am working hard to visit the hospital constantly and taking 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."
