Korean Actress Ko Hyun-jung Addresses 'Younger Man Killer' Rumor

Korean actress Ko Hyun-jung has addressed the rumor of being a 'younger man killer.'

Ko Hyun-jung recently released her eighth vlog on her YouTube channel 'Ko Hyun-jung.' During an interview at an advertisement shoot, she answered various questions.

When asked about the most ridiculous rumor she has heard about herself, Ko Hyun-jung promptly replied, "Younger man killer." She laughed, saying, "They say I date younger male actors, but isn't that just absurd?" She then humorously walked away, pretending to be embarrassed.

Ko Hyun-jung has previously been involved in dating rumors with younger male actors like Jo In-sung. She appeared on a YouTube channel and addressed the rumor, saying, "He has eyes too," denying the speculation.

In another segment, when asked about the most unusual gift she has received, she shared, "Sometimes people send me letters proposing marriage. They send gifts, and once someone sent me a gold medal, claiming they won it in a marathon. It's not even a completion medal for running 42.195 km, but a gold medal, which I now have," she joked.

Ko Hyun-jung also talked about a scene in the drama 'Reflection of You' where she threw her personal Hermes bag. She recalled, "Even though it was in the script, it was the most expensive bag, and I threw it on the floor. Is it really worth that much? I tried it once, and all that remained was 'she has quite a temper.' The bag got damaged," she laughed. She added, "The bag is still with me. It became a memorable experience. It's not just about the brand, but for me personally. I tried to act subtly, but all I got was comments about the character's bad temper," she laughed.

When asked what defines 'Ko Hyun-jung style,' she said, "I really don't know. Am I confident, outspoken, and strong? Maybe. But there's also the opposite side. I hope to meet a character that allows me to show that side, so others can tell me what 'Ko Hyun-jung style' really is."

Meanwhile, Ko Hyun-jung is set to appear in the upcoming ENA drama 'Namib' and SBS drama 'Mantis.'
