Actress Go Yoon-jung drew attention after openly acknowledging her own beauty on the latest episode of MBC’s variety show “Manitto Club.”

On the episode aired on March 15, “Manitto Club” featured Park Myung-soo, Hong Jin-kyung, Jung Hae-in, Yoon Nam-no, Go Yoon-jung, and Kim Do-hoon as they ran a late-night pop-up restaurant for firefighters at Bucheon Fire Station. Yoon Nam-no joined as the “Secret Manitto Chef,” bringing a distinct presence to the show.

Under the leadership of Yoon Nam-no, each cast member took on a role in the restaurant operation. While preparing ingredients ahead of opening, Park Myung-soo jokingly tasked Hong Jin-kyung with guiding Go Yoon-jung, noting, “Jin-kyung, teach her the ropes of variety shows.” In response, Hong Jin-kyung quipped, “Go Yoon-jung? She’s got too many fans; it’s impossible,” eliciting laughter from everyone.

The lighthearted atmosphere continued when Hong Jin-kyung mentioned that Go Yoon-jung's personal social media account had surpassed 11.7 million followers. She playfully asked, “Yoon-jung, will you please take a selfie with me and tag me just once?” causing another burst of laughter on set.

Hong then asked Go, “You must feel fortunate. Is it thanks to your beautiful mother? Do you feel embarrassed about us because we’re not as good-looking?” Park Myung-soo joined in, asking, “Is it great to be pretty? What’s the best thing about it?” In a calm manner, Go Yoon-jung replied, “I think it’s nice. Life is really comfortable,” surprising everyone with her honesty.

Hong Jin-kyung, awestruck, implored, “Please, just tell us one thing that’s inconvenient about being pretty.” Park Myung-soo jokingly rebutted, “Isn’t there anything inconvenient about being not-so-good looking?” Hong Jin-kyung exclaimed, “Oh, it’s so frustrating! I’m physically exhausted as it is—shouldn’t those of us who aren’t as attractive support one another instead of attacking?” Her mock-displeasure had everyone laughing.

Directed by Kim Tae-ho, widely recognized for “Infinity Challenge,” “Manitto Club” airs every Sunday at 6:10 p.m. on MBC and is also available on various OTT platforms.
