South Korea’s top best friends, Gong Hyo-jin and Shin Min-a, generously shared their deep 28-year friendship and candidly revealed secrets about their physiques at a gathering. Gong Hyo-jin started by exposing that, contrary to the public image of “elegant goddess” Shin Min-a, she actually “never works out” in private—her slender figure is purely natural. Meanwhile, Gong jokingly called herself a natural-born “muscle silver-spoon”; as soon as she exercises even a little, her muscle mass grows rapidly. The playful contrast in their physiques and their uninhibited, mutual teasing showcased the most genuine and adorable side of their private interactions.
Although Shin Min-a appears quiet, elegant, and shy on film sets, Gong Hyo-jin revealed that in private she’s actually quite the chatterbox. Gong shared that the pair once set a record for talking on the phone for a continuous “9 hours,” prompting Shin Min-a to humorously retort, “Wasn’t that almost all just me talking?” The rapport and witty banter forged over years of close friendship delighted staff and gave the public a glimpse of the surprising and endearing private side of these celebrated actresses. Their bond began when they were rookie models—Shin Min-a was just 15 and Gong Hyo-jin was 19—and grew even closer after working on the film ‘Volcano High’ together. Spanning nearly 30 years, their friendship has remained unshaken despite the competitive showbiz world. Gong Hyo-jin nostalgically recalled traveling with Shin Min-a for two weeks in France, discovering that her friend was easy-going and never picky about the itinerary. Their high compatibility has become a model of enduring, top-tier friendship in the entertainment industry.
