Actress Go Youn-jung has become the subject of online debate after a short clip from Paris Fashion Week showed her leaving a Chanel runway show wrapped in a blanket — a moment that quickly went viral and divided viewers between those calling it a cute mishap and others criticizing her professionalism as a brand ambassador.
Go attended the Chanel 2026–2027 fall-winter collection show in Paris as a global ambassador for the French luxury brand. Shortly afterward, footage of her leaving the venue began circulating online.

In the clip, Go is seen walking out with the help of a security guard while wearing a white-tone Chanel tweed two-piece outfit. A blanket is draped over her short skirt as she exits the venue.
Based on the video, staff members asked Go to remove the blanket. She appeared to hesitate briefly — seemingly saying “It’s cold” — before eventually taking it off and walking down the stairs.
The footage has attracted significant attention online, approaching 750,000 views across social media platforms.
Online reactions have been sharply divided. Some viewers described the moment as amusing and relatable.
“It’s such a cute little happening,” one comment said. Another viewer said, “It’s adorable how she was wrapped up like that.”
Many also praised the security guard, noting that he tried to shield Go while she removed the blanket.
Others, however, were more critical. Some users said that as a Chanel ambassador attending a promotional event, she should have been more mindful of how she appeared in front of cameras.
“Covering the outfit at a promotional event doesn’t look right,” one comment said. Another user said, “It doesn’t feel very professional.”
Go has recently expanded her presence across television and streaming platforms. She starred opposite actor Kim Seon-ho in the Netflix original series “Can This Love Be Translated?” and is currently appearing on the MBC entertainment program “Manitto Club.”
