Actress Go Youn-jung said she became an actress from being a fine arts student.
On the 30th, during the broadcast of tvN's 'You Quiz on the Block,' actress Go Youn-jung from the drama 'Resident Playbook' shared the background of how she chose the path of acting from being a fine arts student.
Go Youn-jung said she is in her sixth year since her debut. She remarked, "My major is not acting. I studied art for a long time. I majored in Western painting," adding, "While attending university, my sister who studied photography suggested that I try applying to be a cover model for a college magazine. When I asked if applying would ensure any results, she said it would work out," which drew laughter.
Go Youn-jung said, "Since I don't have my contact information, the agency contacted the department office. I never considered it, so I politely declined. The person who eventually connected me is the current CEO of the company."
Go Youn-jung stated, "Why do people just say I can't do it? I thought about it, and if not, why not just not do it? So, I took a leave of absence and started acting by meeting acting instructors," adding, "My family thought I was being unconventional. When I was young, I also did ballet. They commented that aside from studying, I was doing everything else."
On this day, a painting drawn by Go Youn-jung was revealed. She commented, "It's a painting drawn from looking at a photo," surprising those around her. Additionally, Go Youn-jung drew attention for her depiction of actor Timothée Chalamet. Yoo Jae-seok remarked, "The pencil looks so realistic," to which Go Youn-jung replied, "The pencil is a real pencil. I placed the photo underneath and drew over it," causing everyone to burst into laughter.
Go Youn-jung drew Yoo Jae-seok and Cho Sae-ho on the spot, creating laughter. She noted, "When I was young, my mom thought I would go to medical school after seeing me draw hands. I think I was different from an early age."
Go Youn-jung stated, "I attended art classes during middle school and went to an art high school." She added, "I came to the fine arts department because I was good at art, but there were so many who drew better than me. I think I felt a wall there."
