Actress Go Hyun-jung has spoken out about her current health status, addressing rumors of her declining health after undergoing major surgery for complications involving her stomach and the area connecting her duodenum and pancreas.
Recently, Go Hyun-jung has been connecting with her fans through her YouTube channel and vlogs, sharing glimpses of her daily life and how she is recovering.
She caught everyone’s attention on the YouTube channel ‘Gyangminggyeong’ while attempting to exercise for the first time in about 20 years. Before starting Gyrotonic, she admitted to being nervous, saying she felt like she was “going to the army,” and even gave fans a laugh when she struggled so much she almost hit her head on the floor. However, she felt satisfied afterward, noting, “It’s better than I thought. I feel like I’m receiving good energy.”
What truly surprised many was her honest confession about her health. Go Hyun-jung revealed, “I had a very major emergency surgery in 2020,” explaining that the area connecting her duodenum and pancreas had only been sutured and that she also had complex stomach issues. She shared that she managed with medication, but collapsed again in 2024 due to extreme stress. Recalling the urgency of that moment, she said, “I went into surgery after midnight and barely survived.”
She also addressed the rumors regarding her health sparked by her recent thin appearance. Go Hyun-jung admitted, “It’s true that I really have no energy,” adding, “I used to love eating, but now I can’t eat much. I can only eat about two or three grains of kimbap.” She candidly shared her fear, saying, “I’m afraid that if I eat, something might hurt again,” referring to the aftereffects of her surgery.
However, she clarified, “People think I’m on a severe diet, but that’s absolutely not the case. How could I possibly diet when my health is fluctuating like this?”
Meanwhile, a recently released Tokyo vlog showed a more relaxed side of her, reassuring fans. While visiting famous spots for sushi, black sesame pudding, and soba, she admitted, “It’s true that I have no appetite or energy lately because of some worries,” but added, “Thanks to the warm help and consideration of those around me, I’m living more energetically than ever.”
She dismissed the health scare rumors, stating, “I’m trying to eat delicious foods, exercise hard, and maintain my health.” Fans have been sending their support, commenting, “I’m glad you look better,” “Please recover slowly without overdoing it,” and “I want to see you healthy for a long time.”
