Go So Young (Hangul: 고소영, born October 6, 1972) is a South Korean actress. She graduated from Choongang University with a major in Drama & Cinema.[1] she was known as one of korea's "ideal women"
films debuted in the TV drama Love Tomorrow in 1993, and quickly established herself as a representative star of her generation. She made her film debut opposite Jung Woo-sung in The Fox With Nine Tails in 1994, which ranked as the first Korean film ever to use computer-generated images, but which failed to make an impression on audiences or critics. Ko first achieved wide recognition through her role in Beat (again with Jung Woo-sung), a film that caught the imagination of many Korean high school students. Since then she has acted in a series of successful melodramas, portraying a young model in If the Sun Rises in the West, a Cheju Island tour guide in Love Wind, Love Song, and a Korean American adoptee in Love.
In 2001 Ko teamed up with actor Lee Sung-jae in A Day, about a married couple who have trouble conceiving a child. Her acting in the film was much praised and that year she won a Best Actress prize from the local Grand Bell awards ceremony. Then, after two years off, Ko returned in 2003 opposite Han Suk-kyu in the spy thriller Double Agent, however the film failed to live up to most viewers' and critics' expectations. At present she is scheduled to appear in two films that will shoot in 2006: horror film APT by director Ahn Byung-ki, and a romantic comedy by debut director Jeon Young-gap.
