Go Yoon-jung Shines as May Cover Star, Unveils New Facet of Korean Fashion and Drama

Korean actress and rising global fashion icon, Go Yoon-jung, graces the cover of Elle Korea‘s May issue, captivating readers with her effortless elegance and introspective charm. As a Chanel ambassador, Go beautifully represented the brand’s 2025 Spring/Summer Ready-to-Wear collection, embodying modern sophistication and hinting at her evolution into a bona fide style icon.

Alongside the photoshoot, Go sat down for an intimate interview where she opened up about her recent break — the first extended pause since her debut. “After filming Resident Playbook and Love Translation, I thought I’d enjoy the break, but I quickly got bored,” she shared candidly, revealing her commitment to craft even during downtime, often joining post-production sessions even when not required.

Go’s latest drama, Resident Playbook — a spin-off from the beloved Hospital Playlist — premiered on April 12. She portrays Oh Yi-young, a first-year OB/GYN resident navigating both medical challenges and deep personal growth. “The more time I spent with my castmates, the more comfortable we became. I learned so much by answering their questions,” she reflected, underscoring the camaraderie that defined the experience.

Her thoughtful, grounded perspective on acting reveals a maturity well beyond her years. “The more I act, the more I realize how much I haven’t experienced. When I recognize my limitations, I try to find ways to improve. I always aim to be better than I was yesterday,” Go expressed, showcasing her quiet determination.
