Go Hyun-jung in Vogue

by javabeans

The actress and former Miss Korea finalist Go Hyun-jung (Sandglass, HIT, and the upcoming Queen Seon-deok) is taking to the pages of a fashion magazine for the first time since her debut nearly twenty years ago.

Her spread in the newest issue of Vogue takes on the theme of “Agnes of God’s conflict between the saint and the heart” (uh, whatever that means?) and was shot over two days. At the shoot, she said of the experience, “As my first fashion spread, I was up for shooting as a medieval nun, a queen, a doll, an engraving in stone, it didn’t matter.”

Go also talked about events in her life she hasn’t discussed before, from her debut to her failed marriage. In regards to her difficulties, she spoke with an ironic laugh, “If I’d had a previous life, I must have been a Celtic warrior who’d prepared in all sorts of ways to go out and battle, but got bitten by a dog and died before even going out to fight.”

Go’s turbulent marriage is well-known; she married a chaebol (business tycoon), but his family didn’t approve of her as a mere actress and forced her to retire. After a nasty divorce, she lost custody of her children to her powerful in-laws. She recounted an incident six years ago after news of her divorce broke and she found herself surrounded by reporters in front of her house, and could only laugh at the ridiculous situation.

Of her ex-husband, Go said, “I’m sorry I couldn’t give him more love and I am truly wishing him the best.”
