In her latest ELLE Korea interview, Go Youn Jung’s soul food took the spotlight alongside a warm glimpse into her personal quirks, everyday habits, and current favorites. With her trademark honesty and cool sense of humor, the actress opened up about everything from filming snacks to her love for jeyuk-bokkeum, making fans feel even closer to her offscreen self.

The Fun TMIs: Pizza Rules, Fries, and Poca Chips

When asked for a fun TMI, Go Youn Jung casually admitted she can eat up to four slices of pizza—but only if they come in different flavors. Her burger order is one and done, and she always polishes off the fries. As for chips? She has a strong preference for the blue bag of Poca Chips, happily giving away the green ones without hesitation.

Why Gummies Win On Set

Her favorite filming snack is a simple one: gummies. She explained that candy takes too long to melt, chocolate could stain her teeth, and chips are too heavy. Gummies strike the perfect balance—light, sweet, and easy to snack on without the fuss.

Baking Madeleines and Hitting Pause

Though once an avid home baker, Go Youn Jung has put the hobby on hold due to her packed schedule. She used to enjoy making mocha buns and madeleines, especially for sharing on set. But after accumulating too many baking ingredients, she decided to take a break. Still, she looks back fondly on the trays of sweets she once brought to work.

Channeling Oh Yi-young in Real Life

Asked which character she relates to the most, Go Youn Jung chose Oh Yi-young from Resident Playbook. Describing herself as someone steady and without emotional highs and lows, she resonated with Oh Yi-young’s calm demeanor—reflecting her ISTP personality: loyal, relaxed, and not one to hold grudges.

TV Shows, Reels, and YouTube Favorites

Right now, her must-watch show is The White Collars on Coupang Play. She also shared her quiet obsession with YouTube Shorts and Reels, especially enjoying content from creators like Queen Gabee, Myunghwa, Channel Fullmoon, Ralral, Orbit, and Hong Jin Kyung.

No Hobbies—And That’s Okay

When asked about hobbies, she laughed and said she doesn’t really have one at the moment. Instead, she’s simply enjoying rest, catching up on sleep and screen time. However, she’s curious about trying horseback riding or traveling when time allows in the future.

Lip Balm in Every Pocket

One constant in Go Youn Jung’s life is lip balm. With naturally dry lips, she keeps one in almost every coat. She even found one from two years ago recently and couldn’t bring herself to toss it, joking about the sentimental waste.

Her Morning Routine and Post-Drama Vibes

Mornings begin with checking her phone and taking probiotics. Now that filming for Can This Love Be Translated? has wrapped, she’s catching up on rest and enjoying a slower rhythm to her days.

Thoughtful Gifts and Surprise Gestures

When it comes to gifts, she prefers the personal touch of handwritten letters. To her, words are healing, especially during low moments. Even surprise gifts feel special because they show that someone thought of her—sentimentality over luxury any day.

Selfie Tips and Cravings After Travel

A fun beauty tip? She slightly tilts her head in selfies and subtly emphasizes her eyes—especially helpful when she feels her cheeks are looking fuller. And when she returns from overseas, nothing beats Go Youn Jung’s soul food: jeyuk-bokkeum. It’s her top craving, alongside kimchi-jjigae. She’s not one to chase trendy spots either—just give her fast service and a simple, hearty meal.

A Heartfelt Thanks to Fans

To wrap up the interview, Go Youn Jung expressed her appreciation for her fans and encouraged everyone to check out the May issue of ELLE Korea featuring Chanel. With every answer, she brought a mix of charm, realness, and warmth that continues to endear her to the public.
