Rising actress Go Youn-jung continues to impress with her versatile acting and strong on-screen presence. Her recent projects have paired her with three of Korea’s most compelling male actors: Jung Jun-won, Kim Seon-ho, and Koo Kyo-hwan each from a distinctly different genre and storytelling style.
Jung Jun-won – “Resident Playbook”
A spin-off of the beloved “Hospital Playlist” series, “Resident Playbook” follows the lives of OB-GYN residents. Go Youn-jung plays Oh Yi-young, a determined first-year resident navigating the emotional and physical demands of the hospital world. Opposite her is Jung Jun-won as Gu Do-won, a respected fourth-year resident who becomes both mentor and romantic interest.
Jung Jun-won has built a solid career through supporting roles in acclaimed dramas and is praised for his quiet charisma and naturalistic acting. His mature energy provides a compelling contrast to Go Youn-jung’s emotional vulnerability in the series.
Kim Seon-ho – “Can This Love Be Translated?”
This Netflix original is a romantic comedy written by the famed Hong sisters. Go Youn-jung plays Cha Moo-hee, a global A-list actress disillusioned with love. Kim Seon-ho stars as Joo Ho-jin, a polyglot interpreter with a logical, skeptical view on romance. The two meet through work and clash over the meaning of love sparking a slow-burn chemistry.
Kim Seon-ho is one of Korea’s most popular actors, celebrated for roles in “Start-Up” and “Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha.” Known for his expressive eyes and warm delivery, his collaboration with Go Youn-jung is one of the most anticipated K-drama pairings of 2025.
Koo Kyo-hwan – “Everyone Is Fighting Their Own Sense of Worthlessness”
Diving into deeper thematic territory, this film presents an introspective look at emotional struggles and personal value. Go Youn-jung stars alongside Koo Kyo-hwan, known for choosing roles that challenge societal norms and explore psychological depth.
Koo Kyo-hwan has earned critical acclaim through works like “D.P.,” “Peninsula,” and “Escape from Mogadishu.” His raw and unconventional style balances Go Youn-jung’s graceful vulnerability, promising a poignant portrayal of modern alienation and resilience.
From medical dramas to romantic comedies and indie films, Go Youn-jung’s latest collaborations reflect her expanding range and growing influence in the Korean entertainment industry. Her on-screen chemistry with Jung Jun-won, Kim Seon-ho, and Koo Kyo-hwan has drawn significant attention.
However, reactions have been mixed on online forums like Theqoo, netizens have shared a wide range of opinions regarding the suitability and appeal of the three male co-stars, sparking active debate about their casting and synergy with Go Youn-jung.
- Is Go Yoon-jung really that special? I saw her in Moving, but I don’t get the point of these kinds of posts. When that first male actor got criticized on forums a few days ago, I also wondered, “Is Go Yoon-jung really that important?” It’s starting to feel a bit excessive.
- It’s also kind of odd that she doesn’t seem to hang out with peers her own age much.
- Moving was the first time I saw her, and I didn’t realize it was that hard for her to work with actors around her age.
- Seems like Go Yoon-jung is attracting a lot of overly obsessive fans too… that’s worrying.
- I just hope she works more with actors her age. Personally, I really liked her during Alchemy of Souls—the behind-the-scenes were fun because the cast was all around the same age.
