Recently, Hong Jin-young shared a photo on her Instagram with the caption, "May everyone find happiness each day."
In the photo, Hong is seen in a black-toned outfit, sitting in a space overlooking a night view, resting her chin on her hand while gazing at the camera. A metal watch on her wrist and a minimalist necklace add a touch of elegance to her look.
The wine glass and bouquet on the table, combined with the city lights outside, create a romantic everyday moment. Her expressions, ranging from a gentle smile to playful lips, showcase different charms in each photo.
Fans responded with comments like "You're so beautiful," "Always supporting you," "You keep getting prettier," "Fighting," "Girlfriend material," and "Let's be happy every day."
Previously, Hong Jin-young faced controversy when past photos with a woman known as 'Injection Aunt' surfaced. Her agency, IMH Entertainment, addressed the issue through their YouTube channel.
The agency stated, "The photo was taken during the 'Boogie Man' promotions after 'Love Battery,' approximately 12 years ago at a hospital."
They added, "Hong Jin-young herself does not recall the photo or the person due to the time elapsed."
The agency further explained, "As a singer, Hong Jin-young has participated in numerous promotional photoshoots for various brands and hospitals. The hospital visit in question is too old to remember."
They emphasized, "Hong Jin-young and the woman are not connected on social media and have no personal relationship. We urge restraint from speculative reporting."
Hong Jin-young, born in 1985, rose to fame with the hit 'Love Battery' in 2009 and has since become a leading figure in the trot genre with hits like 'Living' and 'Thumbs Up.' She is currently known to be the CEO of a cosmetics brand.
