Hong Jin-kyung Addresses Plastic Surgery Rumors About Daughter Rael with Humor

TV personality Hong Jin-kyung recently shared updates about her daughter Rael.

On October 8, various online communities buzzed with discussions about Rael's latest photos. A post titled 'Unrecognizable Hong Jin-kyung's Daughter Rael's Recent Photos' featured several images of Rael.

In the released photos, Rael exuded a more mature aura. She showcased elegance in a pink dress with a crown while sitting on a bed, and displayed a chic charm in an all-black outfit. Compared to her appearances on Hong Jin-kyung's YouTube channel 'Study King Jin Genius Hong Jin-kyung,' Rael's growth caught the attention of netizens. Some even speculated about plastic surgery, despite Rael being only 16 years old.

Hong Jin-kyung addressed these plastic surgery rumors by posting real-life photos of Rael. She humorously commented, "Isn't this a scam? Let's step into the world of fakes together, holding hands." She added, "I will post conversations with Rael on the feed after obtaining her consent."

Additionally, Hong Jin-kyung joked, "She drives me crazy. It's all editing. There must be an app that reshapes faces, lifts noses, and applies makeup. She looks like a Chinese beauty, almost like Fan Bingbing."

In response, Lee Ji-hye questioned, "Why reveal this?" Meanwhile, influencer Choi Jun-hee, daughter of the late actress Choi Jin-sil, commented, "Auntie, this is a bit much." To Hong Jin-kyung's remark, "You taught her editing, right?" Choi Jun-hee playfully replied, "I am her senior in that regard."
