Biography
Gong first trained as a singer under SM Entertainment for seven years after winning the "Best Looks" portion of the SM Youth Best Contest in 2005. She is the older sister of singer Yoo Jung-yeon, and their father Yoo Chang-joon was a private chef for former president Kim Dae-jung, as well as a head chef of the Seoul Plaza Hotel for over 20 years, specializing in Korean cuisine.[1] Their mother works at a Japanese restaurant owned by their maternal aunt.
Shortly after making her entertainment debut in a commercial for feminine hygiene product White (Yuhan-Kimberly) in 2012, Gong began appearing in small roles in television dramas.[2] In 2015, the relative newcomer drew mainstream notice when she joined the fourth season of the Korean reality show We Got Married, where she was paired with singer-actor Lee Jong-hyun.[3][4][5]
From 2015 to 2016, Gong starred in historical drama Six Flying Dragons and gained more attention as an actress, which won her the New Star Award at the SBS Drama Awards. Later, she became a host of SBS's Inkigayo together with her sister Jungyeon and actor Kim Min-seok.
