According to W magazine, the actress starts her days early, waking up at 6am to do her breathing exercises before the physical workout. “Just as how we take breathing for granted, I take exercising like breathing,” she explained. This is followed by long cardio before starting her Pilates class thrice a week. She also loves cycling, swimming and running, according to the source.

Recently, she even appeared in the drama series Jirisan (Mount Jiri), playing the role of a mountain ranger.

Go Hyun-jung has been consistently maintaining a youthful appearance after making her debut as the runner-up of Miss Korea in 1989 and gaining fame from popular dramas such as Sandglass and Queen Seondeok for her charismatic roles.

The 51-year-old actress shared her anti-ageing tips on The Guru Show. She spoke about how she does go to skin clinics and massage shops often, but also tries not to touch her face whenever possible.
