Actress Go Yoon-jung steps into the talk show spotlight for the first time, joining Yoo Jae-suk on tvN’s popular variety show You Quiz on the Block. The episode, filmed recently, is set to air on April 30, 2025, at 8:45 PM KST. This marks a significant moment for the rising star, who is currently earning praise for her lead role in the tvN weekend drama Someday, Wise Resident Life, a spin-off of the beloved Hospital Playlist.
The drama, which premiered on February 12, 2025, follows the growth of young residents at Jongno Yulje Hospital’s obstetrics and gynecology department. Go Yoon-jung plays Oh Yi-young, a first-year resident who became a doctor to clear her debts. Her character appears detached but reveals a deep sense of responsibility, rushing to patients’ sides during emergencies. A standout scene where Oh Yi-young sprints to the hospital, despite her usual reluctance to run, has sparked excitement among viewers for her warm yet blunt character.
At the drama’s production conference on February 10, 2025, at Ramada Seoul Sindorim, creator Shin Won-ho shared insights into casting Go Yoon-jung.
The production team was very interested, so we met with Go Yoon-jung as well. Isn’t there a prejudice that an actor who looks like that would be like this? An actor that beautiful would have an attitude that matches her, but this is the first time I’ve seen such an easygoing actor. He himself said that he speaks like a fifth grade boy. I thought it would be charming if the character of Oh Yi-young was added.
The drama also stars Cynthia as Pyo Nam-kyung, Kang Yoo-seok as Eom Jae-il, Han Ye-ji as Kim Sa-bi, and Jung Joon-won as Goo Do-won, depicting the challenges and growth of residents dreaming of becoming wise doctors. Directed by Lee Min-soo and written by Kim Song-hee, the series is produced by EggisComing and Unsuljeon, with CJ ENM Studios overseeing planning.
