Go So-young Opens Up About Her Absence from the Screen
On April 12, the YouTube channel 'Study King Genius Hong Jin-kyung' released a video titled 'The Real Reason We Haven't Seen Actress Go So-young on Screen'. In the episode, Hong Jin-kyung invited Go So-young to her home, where Go presented her with a luxury plate set. Hong was taken aback by Go's fashion choices, exclaiming, 'Is everything Chanel?'.
When asked by Hong what she values most, Go So-young replied without hesitation, 'First and foremost, family. Ensuring my children are safe and sound is my top priority.' Hong expressed her eagerness for Go's return to acting, to which Go responded, 'My career was incredibly important to me. However, as I became a mother, it seemed to fade into the background. I felt like I was drifting away, which is why I started a YouTube channel—to show that I’m still here.'
Go shared a humorous anecdote about her children, who used to be very attached to her. Now, when they say, 'Mom, go to work,' she jokingly replies, 'What work? I'm too old for that now.' She added, 'I feel like the only thing I know how to do now is be a mom, and I’ve cherished that role.'
In a touching moment, Go revealed that her children wanted to see Lee Byung-hun, so Jang Dong-gun took them to the premiere of the movie 'The Match'. Go recounted, 'My husband sadly said, 'Since Dad can’t go out much, we should do this for them,' which had everyone laughing again.
