Everything You Need to Know About Go Younjung
Tumblr media
PROFILE Birth Name : Go Youn Jung (Korean : 고윤정, Hanja : 高允贞) Born : April 22, 1996 (Seoul, South Korea) Height : 163 cm Blood Type : B Shoe Size : 235 Agency : MAA Korea MBTI : ISTP Religion : Catholic (Baptismal name : Flora) Education : Seoul Women's University (Contemporary Art Major) Debut : March 11, 2019
Tumblr media
Go Younjung is a South Korean actress and model under MAA agency. She made her acting debut in 2019 through a tvN drama <He is Psychometric> as Kim Sohyun. She later gain recognition both locally and globally as an actress through several hit dramas like Sweet Home, Alchemy of Souls, and Moving.
Before starting her career as an actress, it is known that she used to volunteer to teach children in Sunday school in the past and do modeling for several brands and magazine (which she still does to this day). Her first ever modeling experience was being the cover model for University Tomorrow magazine for No.771 issue, and it was quite a hot topic among students at the time. The interesting thing is, she didn't intend to be a cover model at first, it was all thanks to her college senior from photography department that took her pictures and encourage her to send it to the magazine that she finally starts her modeling career.
Tumblr media
And because of her modeling career, several entertainment agency start to reach out and offer her a contract as an actress. Of course at first it was a dilemma for her, as an art student who just began her career as a model, being offered to a new career path might made her doubtful and confused. But, in the end MAA agency managed to convinced her to give it a chance and she signed contract with them on 2018. Before her first ever audition, she prepared her acting in a school acting for about a year, and she paid the class with the money she earned from her modeling job.
Tumblr media
Just like any other actors in the beginning of their career, passing an audition is not always easy for her. The failure she's experiencing boost her spirit to keep trying and do better in acting. In the end, her effort didn't betray her. She start getting recognition as an actress through her role as Park Yuri in Netflix's hit drama <Sweet Home>. Because of her excellent performance in this drama, a veteran actor, Lee Jungjae, reached out to her agency to offer her a role in his directorial debut project <Hunt>. This movie also marked as her screen debut. Her performance as Jo Yoojung in <Hunt> also resulted in she's being nominated in some prestigious award like Blue Dragon Film Awards and Baeksang Arts Awards.
Check out all awards she received here
Tumblr media
She also quite make a hot topic among K-drama fans when she made a cameo as the assassin Naksu in Alchemy of Souls. Later in the same year, she joined the second part of the series, and marked her first main lead role in drama which successfully gained her more popularity globally. (note : technically her first main lead role should be Moving because it was filmed befor AoS, but because AoS released first, her official first main role was Aos)
Go Younjung's name as an actress shines even brighter after the release of <Moving> in 2023. Her performance as Jang Huisoo received a lot of praise and warm responses from the audiences to the point that Go Younjung herself feels overwhelmed and grateful. Being Jang Huisoo also resulted in her winning her first ever acting award in ACA-GOTT Awards which held by Busan International Film Festival. Several media also highlighted that <Moving> was "the rediscovery of actress Go Younjung." and even labeled her as one of the trustworthy actors in 20s nowadays.

OTHER'S OPINION ABOUT GO YOUNJUNG
"I envy their energy (Go Younjung and Lee Jungha). Especially Go Younjung who played my daughter in the series <Moving>, she radiates clear confidence. I envied and liked her fresh and bright appearance. She exudes intense power just by herself. When I was young, I got interested a lot in the field. Just looking at such a young, confident friends made me feel alive."
― Ryu Seung Ryong
"Go Younjung is a gem among actress. I personally have high expectations for her as an actress who will showcase endless diverse charms in the future."
― Ryu Seung Ryong
"And Go Younjung, who played the role of Huisoo (a high school student 10 years her junior), was just wonderful! All the actor were good, but her charm and presence stood out. I've already seen <Hunt>, but I'll have to see the other movies she's been in."
― Hideo Kojima
Lee Jungjae was fascinated by Go Younjung's ability to successfully portray a difficult character in <Sweet Home>, and during the casting stage, he personally influenced the production company to cast Go Younjung. In fact, Lee Jungjae praised Go Younjung at a press conference for <Hunt>, saying, "I told the production company that I wanted to meet her. When we met and talked about the scenario, she was flexible in suggesting her own interpretation and ideas. It's natural for her to want to work hard, bu I liked her calm attitude in looking at her character"
― Lee Jungjae
"There were different opinions on whether to cast an established actor or a new actor. However, since acting well and being compatible are more important, I thought Go Younjung was the most suitable."
― Lee Jungjae
"Actress Go Younjung, beautiful, pretty."
― Choi Hyunwook
"From the first filming, Go Younjung made me feel comfortable and allowed me to focus on acting, so I was very grateful. Go Younjung had such a passion for acting that I remember discussing the scenes whenever we met on set. I was so grateful and happy that my first drama partner was Go Younjung."
― Lee Hwijong
"As for Younjung noona, I was a big fan of her even before we started filming. Then, when we started shooting, we became very close, and realized that our personalities are similar. We also have the same sense of humor. I think we've become really good friends now."
― Kim Dohoon
"My first impression of Younjung noona was when she entered the rehearsal room with so much confidence. She said hello so loudly. She was so energetic. So I said hello back. She had such charisma that I thought I couldn't be close to her. There I was, feeling small. Then she was the one who reached out to me first. So I could open up to her and be friends with her. She has such a great personality."
― Lee Jungha
"Oh my... I've never met Go Younjung before, that's so interesting. She looks like a doll."
― Jang Doyeon
"I thought Younjung would be difficult to approach at first (because of her chic image on instagram). But she's nice and easy-going. She has a great personality and approached me first. When she's on the set with people her age, her lips always meet her ears (smile brightly)."
― Ryu Seung Ryong
"The thing is she is also entertaining even without doing anything. Her face alone is entertaining."
― Kim Dohoon
"We're super close. We all are pretty playful, but Dohoon is the playful character, I give reactions, and Younjung noona calms us down (mediator)."
― Lee Jungha
"Actress Go Younjung has beautiful eyes."
― Park Kyunglim (during Moving showcase)
"Go Younjung performance in <Moving> is overwhelming."
― The 3rd Blue Dragon Series Awards Judges
"It wasn't easy for me to adapt the character of Janguk to the new setting of the drama, which took place three years later, but Go Younjung must have had a harder time. (Even so) she contacted me first to match the script. I was impressed by her passion."
― Lee Jaewook

Han Hyo Joo dan Lee Jung Ha menjadi sangat dekat usai memerankan karakter ibu dan anak dalam 'Moving'. Keduanya tampak bergandengan tangan ketika menghadiri Blue Dragon Series Awards 2024.
Tumblr media
 Agensi BH Entertainment menghadirkan video ketika para artisnya menghadiri gelaran Blue Dragon Series Awards 2024. Dalam video yang dirilis pada 30 Juli itu, terlihat interaksi menarik antara Han Hyo Joo, Lee Jung Ha dan Park Bo Young.
Diketahui bersama, Hyo Joo dan Jung Ha menjadi sangat dekat usai memerankan karakter ibu dan anak dalam drama populer "Moving". Keduanya tampak bergandengan tangan ketika menghadiri Blue Dragon Series Awards 2024.
Namun, Jung Ha yang melihat Bo Young di Blue Dragon Series Awards 2024 langsung menunjukkan bahwa dirinya adalah penggemar sang aktris. "Aku mengikuti semua stage greeting ketika kamu membintangi 'Hot Young Bloods'," tutur Jung Ha.
Mendengar itu, Hyo Joo kaget dan mengungkap rasa kecewanya kepada Jung Ha. "Ya ampun, ya ampun. Kamu benar-benar penggemarnya. Kamu belum pernah memberitahuku hal seperti itu sebelumnya. Aku sedikit kecewa," ucap Hyo Joo.
Jung Ha sepertinya tidak mendengar ucapan Hyo Joo dan tanpa ragu untuk meminta foto bareng Bo Young. "Apakah kamu tidak membutuhkanku?" tanya Hyo Joo karena merasa dicuekin. "Ah, ibu," sahut Jung Ha. "Dia tidak membutuhkanku," sahut Hyo Joo.
Meskipun Hyo Joo terus sambat, nyatanya Jung Ha tetap foto selfie bersama Bo Young. Jung Ha lantas mengucapkan terima kasih karena Bo Young mau berfoto dengannya. "Senior, terima kasih," ucap Jung Ho. Bo Young tersenyum dan membalas, "Aku menikmatinya."
Setelah itu, barulah Jung Ha berusaha meredakan kekecewaan Hyo Joo dengan mengajaknya foto bersama. "Ayo berfoto, bu," minta Jung Ho. Kocaknya, Hyo Joo sepertinya masih ngambek karena langsung menolak permintaan Jung Ha.
Sementara itu, Jung Ha berhasil membawa pulang Best Rookie Actor. Sedangkan, Bo Young membawa meraih penghargaan Best Actress karena akting luar biasanya di "Daily Dose of Sunshine". Selanjutnya, penghargaan tertinggi Daesang didapatkan tim produksi "Moving".

A Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Space Race: What You Need to Know About the Space Race in 2020
Tumblr media
‘3…2...1…0. Ignition. Lift-off… Go NASA! Go Space X! Godspeed!’ These words uttered before the Crew Dragon spacecraft launch on May 30th, 2020 are all too familiar to us today, and the generations that have grown up in an era in which space travel is possible. The countdown, NASA, the behemoth that is the rocket, the agonising anticipation, and the eventual relieving launch are all at this point usual sights, and feelings associated with a standard space launch. Yet this event was different in so many ways to a typical launch and offered something new. The new, and revolutionary technology on display was undoubtably a part of this, with the rocket, and space suits looking like something straight out of a sci-fi movie, and the rocket’s reusable Falcon booster being landed with previously unseen precision. However, another noticeable element of the launch was the participants involved. Of course, as previously mentioned NASA were involved in the launch, but they were not alone in this endeavour. Sharing the honour with NASA on this occasion was Elon Musk, and his Space X company, with the launch marking the first time a private company has sent humans into space, and a spacecraft to the International Space Station (ISS). As such it can be argued Space X in 2020 is currently leading in a new ‘Space Race.’ This begs several questions. What is a Space Race? Who are the competitors is today’s Space Race? Who is winning? And should we even encourage such a competition?
The First Space Race (1955-1975)
The original ‘Space Race,’ has been defined by Space.com as a ‘series of competitive technology demonstrations between the United States, and the Soviet Union, aiming to show superiority in spaceflight… a tense global conflict that pitted the ideologies of capitalism, and communism against one another.’ This first Space Race started with announcements four days apart in 1955 from Leonid I Sedov of the Soviet Union, and James C Hagerty of the United States that the two nations intended to launch the first manmade satellites into orbit. The Soviets were first to succeed in this effort, launching their Sputnik I satellite in October 1957. Following this, on October 1st, 1958 NASA opened, but was able to achieve little compared to the Soviet space programme in its early years, with the Soviet Union taking more victories, and making history by putting both the first man (Yuri Gagarin), and first woman (Valentina Tereshkova) in space on April 12th, 1961, and June 16th, 1963 respectively. It was in between these two events in 1961 that President John F Kennedy (JFK) challenged NASA to send a man to the moon ‘before this decade is out,’ resulting in the establishment of the Apollo Programme. It is through this program that NASA was able to eventually turn the tide, and on July 20th, 1969, landed on the moon and the US ‘effectively won,’ the Space Race. This Space Race is largely regarded as coming to an end with the collaboration of the US, and Soviets on the Apollo-Soyuz mission in 1975, which saw a US Apollo craft, and Soviet Soyuz craft dock with one another, and the crew shake hands. Since then, the US, and Soviets have largely co-operated on space projects together. Particularly the ISS, described by NASA as ‘the most politically complex space exploration programme ever undertaken,’ has seen extensive US-Soviet co-operation, as well as widespread international collaboration, with 15 countries in addition to the ‘[principle]… space agencies of the United States, Russia, Europe, Japan, and Canada, being involved in the ISS. In addition to this, 18 countries in total have visited the ISS. Evidently, the Space Race no longer exists in its initial form, and the US, and Soviet Union (Now Russia) are no longer competitors, but rather allies. But who are the participants in the Space Race today?’
Tumblr media
The New Space Race
China
China is arguably a candidate for this new Space Race. With a ‘trade war,’ declared by Donald Trump ongoing between the US, and China since 2018, and the two countries blaming each other for the COVID 19 pandemic, it is clear a great deal of economic, and political animosity exists between the two nations. This combined with China’s exclusion from the International Space Station in 2011, and an already ongoing battle for ‘technology primacy,’ in which (in Cold War fashion) Trump accused China of using its Huawei devices for spying has naturally set up China, and the US for a space industry conflict reminiscent of the original Space Race. China conducted the most launches of any nation in 2019 and is ‘the only country in the world to obtain all industrial categories listed in the United Nations industrial classification,’ leading the world in both steel, and aluminium production. Despite this ‘China has suffered setbacks on… its heavy-lift launch vehicle program,’ and as a result of exclusion from co-operation with other space agencies ‘lags behind in its human spaceflight, and space station programme.’ As a result, whilst China can be viewed as a contender in the Space Race in 2020, the country is certainly not amongst the most powerful within the space industry. However, it should be recognised that ‘China has all the technology available, and figured out,’ and with so many of the materials necessary for the construction of space equipment being domestically produced, China could be a major power within the space industry in the near future and may be able to turn things around similar to the US in the Space Race of the 20th Century.
Private Companies
 Arguably, the more interesting focus of the Space Race currently though is the competition between private space companies with the ‘three that are furthest down the road [being] Space X, Blue Origin, and Virgin Galactic.’ The three are currently focussed on a variety of issues concerning space travel and are bidding to ‘reduce the cost of access to space,’ the reusability of spacecrafts, and ‘making space accessible to people who are not trained astronauts,’ including pushing for tourism in space. This may initially raise questions about private space agencies versus public space agencies, however ‘the… “public versus private,” space race isn’t one that NASA feels overly competitive about… relying on private corporations rather than challenging them.’ Most recently this has been demonstrated by the Artemis Program with which NASA has promising they ‘will land the first woman, and next man on the Moon by 2024,’ resulting in private space companies ‘competing to provide their services of commercial lunar payloads.’
Space X
 Of these three companies Space X, founded in 2002 by Elon Musk, seems to be the strongest contender in the Space Race. As previously mentioned, Space X has already astounded the world, showing off the technological capabilities, and sheer power of its Falcon 9 rocket, as well as the prowess of its reusable launch system which was landed with previously unseen accuracy. Additionally, ‘Space X operates the largest commercial satellite constellation,’ with a total of 180 satellites in orbit. In relation to NASA contracts, Space X has also pulled ahead of course winning the contract to replace Russian rocket technology in 2019 which resulted in the Falcon 9’s flight to the ISS, as well as several other contracts, including a $50.3 million contract involving an X-Ray Polarimetry Explorer, and an $80.4 million contract for a Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem Spacecraft. Most importantly, Space X was awarded NASA contracts, alongside Blue Origin and Dynetics, totalling $1 billion towards the Artemis project. As a result, Musk’s future plans, such as sending the first humans to Mars on a Space X craft and creating a reliable Starlink satellite internet service don’t seem too far-fetched, so long as Space X keeps winning these contracts through technological development, and sheer dominance of the satellite industry. Subsequently, it seems Space X will be the leading company in the Space industry for decades to come.
Blue Origin
Competitor to Space X, and founded in 2000 by Jeff Bezos, Blue Origin has also made impressive strides within the space industry. Arguably, their most impressive achievement, the ‘Blue Moon,’ lunar lander is capable of carrying 3.6 metric tons. The company has also ‘developed a suborbital capsule system, acquired the technology of reusable rockets… made a two-stage orbital launch vehicle with ‘New Glenn,’ and has flown its New Shepard rocket 7 times. However, compared to Space X’s Falcon 9 rocket, it is apparent that Blue Origin still has a long way to go, with their New Shepard rocket reaching only a maximum velocity of Mach 3, compared to the Falcon 9 which is able to reach Mach 5.5 in it’s first stage alone, and then Mach 7.5. The New Shepard also is only able to produce 100,000 pounds of thrust, whereas the Falcon 9 can create 1.5 million pounds of thrust. Subsequently, the technological gap between the capabilities of the two companies’ spacecraft is vast, and currently Blue Origin does not seem to be able to generate the sheer power Space X has demonstrated. As a result, Blue Origin has missed out on a multitude of NASA contracts. However, as mentioned earlier, Blue Origin has been awarded contracts for the Artemis project, and the Blue Moon lunar lander appears to be a genuine candidate for the craft that will eventually land the new generation of astronauts on the moon. As well as this, Bezos has taken an interest in the space tourism industry, one that Musk appears to have little desire to pursue. Perhaps this could provide Blue Origin with the extra money they require to develop new technologies capable of bridging the gap, and rivalling Space X. For now, however, Blue Origin appears to be stuck with its only real potential challenge to Space X being its aforementioned lunar landing capabilities. Yet to win this Space Race, Blue Origin will eventually need to expand its abilities in Space travel, or ultimately admit defeat.
Virgin Galactic
The third major competitor in this private company space race, though arguably the weakest is Virgin Galactic founded by Richard Branson in 2004. Unlike Blue Origin, and Space X, Virgin Galactic’s primary focus is the space tourism industry. At first glance Virgin Galactic certainly ‘appears to be ahead of Elon Musk’s Space X, and Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin in fulfilling the vision of space tourism,’ having already sold 600 tickets to those wishing to take a journey to space. However, for several reasons Virgin Galactic currently offers little competition against Space X, and Blue Origin. Despite ambitious ideas, many of Virgin Galactic’s plans to reduce fuel usage, and costs have failed to materialise. The company’s intention to launch their Launcher One rocket from the wing of a Boeing 747, in order to use less energy during take-off was one of these failed projects, with the rocket failing ‘to climb into orbit,’ and igniting over the Pacific Ocean. Furthermore, it is evident that Virgin Galactic does not possess rockets with as much power as those of Space X, and more importantly their rival in the space tourism industry, Blue Origin. Although Virgin Galactic’s SpaceShipTwo is capable of reaching an impressive height of 295,000 feet, Blue Origin’s New Shepard exceeds this at an impressive 330,00 feet. With this in mind, and Blue Origin set to match Virgin Galactic’s prices for space tourist flights it becomes clearer that Virgin Galactic’s control over the tourist sector of space travel could be short lived. In addition, Virgin Galactic’s lack of involvement in NASA space contracts, puts Virgin at a huge disadvantage, receiving no money, or assistance from NASA in order to develop their space technology. In contrast Blue Origin’s involvement in NASA’s programs (even if they are currently losing to Space X) has aided them in bringing their space technology to new heights and allowed them to compete simultaneously in the private contract Space Race, and the space tourist sector.
Tumblr media
Should the Space Race be Encouraged?
Another important focal point of the Space Race are the positive, and negative aspects associated with it. Many would argue that the Space Race, being a competition between multiple groups promotes conflict, which can be especially dangerous in the case of international conflict escalation. As well as this, a rather strong argument can be made that the Space Race promotes the use of resources, and spending on extra-terrestrial projects that could be better spent on initiatives on Earth. This argument against pursuing the Space Race becomes especially strong in relation to Space tourism which merely serves entertainment purposes. Furthermore, a huge issue of the current Space Race is that the private companies involved become richer, making their billionaire owners wealthier, and more powerful, reaching levels some may call excessive, and even dangerous. However, the Space Race also arguably has positive implications. With competitors pushing each other to new heights technology seems to be developing faster than ever, and with these developments in space technology also often proving useful in other fields, perhaps this extra-terrestrial competition is just what our planet needs. So far medical advancements, such as artificial hearts, and laser eye surgery, industrial developments, including the mass production of carbon nanotubes, and even progress in environmental analysis through the use of satellites can all be attributed to space travel, and the rapid development of these technologies to the competitive nature of the space industry. Furthermore, these major developments in turn provide inspiration for young people to also pursue careers in the sciences, and push these technologies even further, as demonstrated by the number of ‘graduates holding bachelor’s in science, and engineering fields [peaking] in the late 1960’s.’ The expansion of these major private space corporations simultaneously provides jobs in these fields to these young aspiring scientists, and engineers, allowing again for people to pursue these careers. As well as this, the Space Race should not be viewed as an event completely built on conflict. The original Space Race, whilst causing great division between the participants, also eventually resulted in highly effective co-operation through the aforementioned Apollo-Soyuz mission, and ISS. This Space Race seems to be exhibiting similar signs of co-operation with the introduction of the Artemis Accords a series of ‘bilateral agreements with other space agencies that want to participate in the Artemis program.’ Therefore, whilst these companies are indeed competing for contracts it must be remembered that overall, they are working towards similar goals, and often in co-ordination with NASA, and each other.
Upon examination of the Space Race in 2020, it is evident many comparisons can be made to the original US-Soviet Space Race, however this more internal, US-centric Space Race appears to have reached new heights. It is also apparent that though the Space Race is currently dominated by Space X, closely followed by other US private companies that this could change. This Space Race is also a testament of what we can achieve when we really push each other, and though we must be weary for this contest not to get out of hand (becoming a full-blown conflict) it would seem a little friendly competition is a good thing.
