Go Hyun Jung's Marriage Story with Shinsegae Heir, Not Accepted by Former Husband's Family - Forbidden to Meet Children Until Now

Go Hyun Jung comes from a small town in Jeolla Province. She is an alumni of Performing Arts at Dongguk University. Go Hyun Jung was also the 1st runner-up or the second place winner of Miss Korea in 1989 when she was only 18 years old.

After that, she achieved success as an actress through the drama HOURGLASS in 1995, which also starred Choi Min Soo. This drama was a hit and received a 65% rating during its broadcast, which made Go Hyun Jung's name recognized in the entertainment world.

Amidst her peak of popularity, Go Hyun Jung married Chung Yong Jin, the grandson of Samsung Chairman, who was already serving as the vice chairman of Shinsegae, in 1995. Chung Yong Jin's wealth at that time was predicted to reach 1.3 billion dollars or around Rp 20.275 trillion. But their married life was not as easy as that.

Go Hyun Jung can be said to be isolated by her husband's family. In front of Go Hyun Jung, they would speak in English, which the actress did not master. After Go Hyun Jung learned and understood English, her husband's family switched to speaking French. After 8 years of marriage and having two children, Go Hyun Jung divorced. She was reportedly offered 1.5 billion won (or around Rp 15.2 billion) and is still prohibited from meeting her children until now.

A few years later, Go Hyun Jung shared a story on a TV show. She said she married Chung Yong Jin because of love. "I love him very much. He has a subtle sense of humor. He is kind and a very cool person. He is not arrogant even though he is very powerful. He is funny and we compliment each other. I really like our relationship to the point where I see him as myself and want to have many children with him. I like him so much that I am willing to retire early for him."

Getting married at a young age, Go Hyun Jung admitted that at that time she didn't really understand how special a conglomerate or chaebol family was. "I think we got married too young. If only I had learned more and met him when I was more mature, maybe I could meet their expectations. But at that time, I couldn't."

When asked if there was a chance for her to marry Chung Yong Jin again, here is her answer. "If I only see him as a man (without the chaebol label), I would marry him again. I used to really, really like him."

After the divorce, Go Hyun Jung resumed acting. It was said that she purposely acted in a drama again so that her children could see her on screen. Go Hyun Jung also achieved great success when she acted in QUEEN SEON DEOK and received a daesang award.

Go Hyun Jung's latest acting role was in MASK GIRL. Meanwhile, it was mentioned that Go Hyun Jung's children can meet their mother when they become adults. Her children, Chung Hae Chan and Chung Hae In, are currently studying abroad. The latest news is that Chung Hae Chan is studying at Cornell University, USA.

The story of Go Hyun Jung has been widely discussed after Moon Seo Yeon or Annie Moon, the granddaughter of the Shinsegae family, was said to debut as a member of The Black Label's girl group. Netizens find it strange that they used to forbid Go Hyun Jung from joining their family because she is an actress, but now they are allowing her granddaughter to become a K-Pop idol (if the news about Moon Seo Yeon is true).
