Biography

Go Hyun-jung, a celebrated and accomplished South Korean actress, entered the world on March 2, 1971, marking the beginning of a remarkable journey that would eventually propel her to the pinnacle of Korean entertainment.

Her illustrious career kicked off in 1989 with a remarkable performance as a runner-up in the esteemed Miss Korea pageant, a prestigious competition that has launched the careers of many notable figures in the industry.

This impressive debut would set the stage for her future success, ultimately leading her to the forefront of Korean television, where she would go on to make a lasting impact on the small screen.

One of her most iconic and enduring roles was in the critically acclaimed drama "Sandglass", a groundbreaking series that has cemented its place in Korean television history as one of the highest-rated and most celebrated productions of all time.

Go Hyun-jung's personal life underwent a significant transformation in 1995 when she entered into a marital union with Chung Yong-jin, a renowned and influential figure within the Korean corporate world, specifically within the realm of the country's prominent family-owned businesses, known as chaebols. This union brought about a temporary hiatus from her acting career as she redirected her focus towards nurturing her family life.

However, following the dissolution of her marriage in 2003, Go Hyun-jung made a spectacular comeback to the world of acting, successfully reclaiming her position as one of Korea's most esteemed and highly respected actresses. Her subsequent appearances in popular television series such as "Queen Seondeok" and "Daemul" further solidified her status as the highest-paid actress on Korean television, cementing her position as a leading figure in the country's entertainment industry.
