Actress Go Youn Jung impressed viewers with her artistic skills during her guest appearance on the April 30 episode of tvN’s variety show 'You Quiz on the Block' (Episode 291).
Before entering the world of acting, Go Youn Jung was a dedicated art student. She graduated from Seoul Arts High School and went on to study modern art at Seoul Women’s University, enrolling in 2015. When asked how she ended up switching paths, she recalled that a friend from the photography department suggested she apply to 'UNIV20' magazine. “I asked if just anyone could apply, and surprisingly, I got in,” she said.
After that, casting inquiries began coming through her department office. At first, she wasn’t interested and even told the office not to share her contact information. One of the people who eventually reached her turned out to be the CEO of her current agency. “He told me not to say I couldn’t do it before trying. So I thought, why not? I took a break from school and started taking acting classes.”
On the show, Go Youn Jung shared some of her artwork, which immediately caught the hosts' attention. A drawing of a foot was so realistic that Yoo Jae Suk said he thought it was a photograph. She explained that she had drawn it while referencing a photo. She also revealed a detailed portrait of Timothée Chalamet, which amazed both the hosts and the viewers.
Things took a lighter turn when she drew quick sketches of Yoo Jae Suk and Jo Se Ho on the spot. The drawings, while done in a short amount of time, caught the hosts off guard. Yoo commented that her style felt very warm and playful, adding that it might just seem that way because they had seen the Chalamet portrait first. When she showed them the final drawings, Yoo joked, “You made us look like babies!” and compared them to the earlier artwork. The production team added a playful caption on screen, reassuring viewers that all the drawings were, indeed, done by the same person.
Go Youn Jung’s appearance on the show reminded everyone of her background as an artist and added even more charm to her already well-loved personality.
