Actresss Go Youn Jung Gains Attention For Her True Personality As Revealed By Fellow Actors And Staff
In an industry often defined by fleeting moments and camera-ready smiles, actress Go Youn Jung continues to distinguish herself — not just with her talent, but with her genuine warmth and selfless heart. As Resident Playbook recently wrapped, cast and crew members have come forward with touching stories that reveal the actress’s true personality behind the scenes.
Co-star Han Ye Ji, who played Kim Sa Bi, shared heartfelt reflections on her experience filming the show. In her closing remarks, she highlighted how the staff and fellow actors, including Go Youn Jung, made filming a joy. But what stood out most were the quiet but meaningful acts of kindness from Go Youn Jung that went far beyond the job.
“There’s a particularly warm memory I have. During a scene where we were eating chicken, I could only eat the radish because of dietary restrictions. Youn Jung took off the fried batter on the chicken by herself so I could eat with everyone. That small act stayed with me.”
This wasn’t an isolated moment. Go Youn Jung’s compassion extended to the entire crew. To mark the final day of filming, she organized a snack truck event, gifting sweet treats and beverages to cast and crew alike. What made the gesture even more special was that she personally drew portraits of over 80 staff members, turning them into custom stickers that were included with each drink — a deeply personal thank-you for their hard work and support.
Her thoughtful actions didn’t end with snacks and drawings. It was later revealed that during the cold winter months of filming, Go Youn Jung gifted long padded coats to over 100 staff members, ensuring their comfort on set. As padded coats can cost between ₩200,000 KRW (about $145 USD) to ₩500,000 KRW (about $362 USD) each, the amount of money she must have spent was in the thousands. While viewers may admire her talent and visuals, it seems like those who work with her are equally moved by her genuine heart.
