Gong Hyo-jin Wisely Debunks Pregnancy Rumors with Identical Outfit Photos

Actress Gong Hyo-jin has playfully addressed recent pregnancy rumors through her social media posts.

On the 8th, Gong Hyo-jin shared several photos from her trip to Japan on her Instagram, without any accompanying caption. The pictures show her enjoying a relaxed time, reading a magazine in a library-like space filled with books, or sitting by the end of a hallway in a traditional Japanese house, basking in the sunlight while looking out at the garden. Despite her natural makeup and comfortable attire, her unique sophisticated aura shone through.

This is seen as a witty response to the pregnancy speculation that arose in October when Gong Hyo-jin posted a photo wearing a knit dress with her hand on her waist, leading to comments about her slightly protruding belly. At the time, her agency immediately denied the rumors, concluding it as a misunderstanding.

In the newly released photos, Gong Hyo-jin is wearing the exact same outfit as in the previous controversial picture. However, by choosing loose-fitting attire that naturally conceals her midsection and sharing photos taken from different angles, she has effectively proven that the rumors were unfounded.

Netizens responded positively to Gong Hyo-jin's clever handling of the situation, with comments such as 'Such witty clarification,' 'Coolly shutting down rumors with just one photo,' 'She wasn't pregnant, just healing,' and 'Her relaxed vibe in nature is heartwarming.'

Gong Hyo-jin married singer Kevin Oh, who is 10 years her junior, in October 2022 and is currently enjoying a sweet married life while traveling in Japan with her husband.

Netizens praised Gong Hyo-jin's sense, commenting, 'Gong Hyo-jin's signature wit!', 'She showed everything with just a photo without saying a word,' 'The rumor itself is kind of funny,' 'It was just comfortable clothing after all,' and 'It's nice to see you healing!' showing their agreement with her humorous method of clarification.
