Ko So-young, who gave up her life as an actress, is focused on her return after 6 years

Actress Go So-young is making a comeback to entertainment. It's already been 6 years since I gave up acting. Attention is focused on what she will show on entertainment shows, as she has become more familiar with the title of 'celebrity' and 'Jang Dong-gun's wife' rather than the title of actor.

According to the Hankook Ilbo media report on the 15th, Ko So-young will participate in her first celebrity reality show through 'Go So-young, Flowers'. The filming period is being coordinated.

In this program, Ko So-young transforms into the owner of a flower shop and creates flowers for various situations and works with a variety of guests. The production team said that they are planning a 'GO Soyoung' series, and that each season will have a different theme.

Go So-young has been showing off her extraordinary flower arranging skills through her channel. As we are building close relationships with top stars, expectations are high to see what kind of guests will appear.

However, some voices are expressing regret at the fact that he is returning to entertainment rather than work. Ko So-young's last work was the 2017 drama 'Perfect Wife', and even this was her comeback after 10 years. Ko So-young has appeared in only two dramas since the 2000s. The last movie was ‘My Sister Is Going’ in 2007.

At one time, Go So-young was a very popular actress who, along with Jeon Do-yeon and Shim Eun-ha, was called the troika of the end of the century. However, after marrying actor Jang Dong-gun in 2010, she began to act as a celebrity rather than an actor. Although they were inactive, their presence was still there, so everything from fashion posted on SNS to home interiors and daily life became the subject of interest. He also uploaded a picture of Jang Dong-gun, his son, and his daughter from the back and conveyed the current state of their happy family.

While Jang Dong-gun continues to work hard at his main job, including dramas and movies, even after marriage, Ko So-young recently launched a jewelry brand and transformed into a businesswoman. Accordingly, there were some who wondered if Ko So-young was making a full-fledged celebrity move away from the life of an actress.

However, recently, actresses such as Han Ga-in and Choi Jeong-yoon, who had put aside acting for a while, are knocking on the door of entertainment, breaking the mystique and showing a new side of themselves. Go So-young also took the route of returning to entertainment. There will be less pressure in that you can make the program in the direction you want while showing an honest and easy-going side regardless of whether the work is a hit or not.

For the first time in a long time, we were able to see Ko So-young as a human being, rather than through a pictorial or CF. Attention is being paid to what kind of appearance Ko So-young will show after her long hiatus and whether she will be able to return to her day job using reality entertainment as a stepping stone.
