On the 27th, Pak took to her social media account to address the rumors, stating, "I heard there's not just a dating rumor but a marriage rumor about me. It's so absurd, it's funny... and a bit bitter." She assured her followers, "When I actually date or get married, I'll let you know with real news, not fake news."
In a video message, she added, "They made something fake look so real. AI isn't meant to be used like this. How could they create something like this? It must be awkward for him too."
Pak continued, "I even received congratulatory messages. People contacted me asking if it was true, and fans were shocked. Don't believe it. If I get a boyfriend, I'll make sure it's the first thing in the news and make it official."
Previously, a video claiming that Pak and Kim Seung-soo were married surfaced in December last year. The video garnered over 8 million views and caused a stir, but it was later revealed to be a fake video created using artificial intelligence (AI).
