Veteran actress Youn Yuh Jung is once again winning over audiences—not through a drama or film, but with her unfiltered personality in a recent vlog that quickly went viral.
The video, titled “Youn Yuh Jung Goes to a Fashion Show! A Vlog That Might Be Too Honest”, was released on the official YouTube channel of Vogue Korea. It follows the Oscar-winning actress as she attends a luxury fashion show by Bottega Veneta and shares candid moments behind the scenes.
During the interview portion, Youn Yuh Jung opened up about her personality, revealing that she feels shy when receiving compliments. “I get really embarrassed. I prefer when people praise me behind my back. When someone says it directly, I don’t know how to react,” she admitted.
She also spoke about her upcoming Netflix project, sharing her admiration for the script and its philosophical themes about human nature and love. The actress even revealed a casting story involving Song Kang-ho , saying she personally called him to persuade him to join the project after he initially declined.
However, the most talked-about moment came when Youn Yuh Jung discussed how she ended up filming the vlog in the first place. She revealed that it was her stylist—originally a close friend—who encouraged her to do it.
Confused about the concept of vlogging, she humorously asked, “What is a vlog?” before calling her stylist over mid-filming. In a playful yet sharp tone, she exclaimed, “You’re dead to me. Come here!”—a remark that left both the crew and viewers amused.
The stylist tried to lighten the mood by joking about treating her to good food, but Youn Yuh Jung shot back, “Do you think I can’t buy my own meals?” maintaining her signature blunt humor.
Despite her mock frustration, the actress wrapped up the segment with a candid remark: “I didn’t even know what this was, but I did it anyway. Please edit it nicely before releasing it.”
The clip quickly gained attention online, with fans praising her honesty and comedic timing. Many noted that her natural, no-filter personality is exactly what makes her so beloved—proving that even off-screen, Youn Yuh Jung remains effortlessly captivating.
