[theqoo] GO HYUNJUNG ATE PORK FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 50 YEARS, “THE LAST TIME I ATE IT WAS BEFORE I TURNED 10… THERE’S SO MUCH I DON’T KNOW”

Actress Go Hyunjung has taken on the challenge of eating pork for the first time in about 50 years.

On the 7th, a video titled ‘Taming Go Hyunjung” was released on the YouTube channel ‘Just Mingkyung.’

In the video, Kang Minkyung visited her favorite frozen pork belly shop with Go Hyunjung. Kang Minkyung expressed concern, saying, “There’s no smell here, and the kimchi is so delicious that I think we might actually succeed. I really hope she enjoys it. She’s been so weak ever since she got sick.’

Go Hyunjung recalled, “I’ve never even tried frozen pork belly before. I did eat pork once, but I was so disgusted by it. I haven’t touched pork since then. That was before I turned 10.” She then declared, “From now on, I won’t eat anything but frozen pork belly,” showing how completely captivated she was by its appeal.

Kang Minkyung remarked, “Unnie is afraid of so many things. She’s too timid. It seems a bit difficult for her to go through the whole process,” to which Go Hyunjung admitted, “There’s so much I really don’t know.” She continued, “I should have tried it in my 20s or 30s, but since I didn’t back then,” and confessed, “I’m eating [pork] for the first time in 56 years.”

1, It feels like it’s been a long time since I was 10. I also got sick from eating corn in elementary school, so I didn’t eat it for almost 10 years. But even though I had an upset stomach after eating it as an adult, I still enjoy it just as much

2. If you had a bad experience with a food when you were really young, you tend to avoid it… I still can’t eat spinach because of a memory from elementary school where I was forced to eat it, threw up, and got scolded… Just eating any leafy greens that smell like that makes me gag ㅠㅠ

3. But seriously, all the kids who don’t eat certain things in the school cafeteria in middle and high school are the ones who have memories of being forced to eat things they didn’t like or throwing up after eating them back in kindergarten or elementary school. I hate tomatoes, too…

4. I always forget and eat again and again… and then I get sick all the timeㅠㅠ

5. When I was in elementary school, I tried tofu sushi for the first time, and I don’t know if it was spoiled or what, but the sour taste was so disgusting that I almost threw up. To this day, I won’t even touch tofu, and I won’t eat anything that contains it either….

6. I can’t eat mushrooms either. I think being forced to eat them when I was little, and then feeling sick and throwing up, left a lasting trauma

7. I’ve noticed that sometimes if you eat a certain food and get an upset stomach, you might develop a phobia of that food

8. I don’t really like meat either, so I didn’t try samgyeopsal until I was over 20, I was forced to eat it at a company dinnerㅋㅋ

9. I understand her. She stopped eating it from an young age

10. Same for me, I ate banana once when I was young and threw up and ever since then, I stopped eating it
