Recently the actress stepped onto the stage with none other than the legendary &#8217;80s band The Go-Go&#8217;s and blew everyone away with a stunning performance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Cho stepped in for <strong>Belinda Carlisle<\/strong>&#8216;s part on their hit &#8220;Head Over Heels&#8221; and blew fans away with her sound and energy. Despite releasing a single in 2024, &#8220;Lucky Gift,&#8221; off her album title of the same name, a lot of folks had no idea that she harbored such musical talent.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">What&#8217;s more, fans were blown away by how stunning she looks. Cho is roughly nine years sober, and after dealing with addiction and eating disorders, is focused on living a healthy lifestyle that fans are absolutely noticing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;Ok there are just too many iconic things happening here,&#8221; quipped one fan.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;I had no idea you could sing too!
