Ko Hyun-jung has directly addressed the absurd rumors surrounding her. After causing public concern with her recent hiatus from YouTube activities and health issues, she broke her silence to share her current situation and convey her sincerity, resuming communication with fans. On the 3rd, through her YouTube channel, Ko Hyun-jung released a video titled ‘Ko Hyun-jung Vlog 10,’ shot in New York in a vlog format, capturing the casual daily life of her travels and showcasing a natural side of Ko Hyun-jung as an actress and as a person. However, in the middle of the video, a single issue brought up by the production team changed the atmosphere. The production team conveyed, “During the break from YouTube activities, rumors of Ko Hyun-jung’s death spread.” In response, Ko Hyun-jung looked momentarily surprised and said, “Was that really a thing? I saw it too. It was so scary.” When the production team showed a thumbnail of a cyber rumor content, featuring a photo of the deceased and a photo of Ko Hyun-jung side by side, containing false information at the level of a death hoax, Ko Hyun-jung expressed shock and remained silent for a while. She cautiously mentioned, “It’s shocking. Those who saw me sick at the end of last year might have believed the wrong information, recalling the critical moment.” In fact, Ko Hyun-jung underwent surgery in December last year due to health issues and subsequently halted all activities to focus on treatment. Ko Hyun-jung assured fans in her characteristic calm tone, saying, “I’m not dead. I’ve recovered since then and I’m fine now. Don’t worry,” comforting fans. She expressed gratitude by saying, “Thank you for your support,” leaving a sincere message. Anticipation is high for Ko Hyun-jung’s comeback in the upcoming SBS drama ‘Magpie’ in September, especially as fans look forward to seeing her return to the small screen after a long time.
