Actress Kong Hyo-jin’s agency, Management SOOP, has officially addressed and denied recent pregnancy rumors that began circulating on social media. The speculation arose after the actress shared photos from her personal life, which led some fans to jump to conclusions regarding her family plans.
The rumors were sparked by a specific photo Kong Hyo-jin posted while traveling in Japan with her husband, singer-songwriter Kevin Oh. In the image, she was seen wearing a casual knit dress and a blue jacket, posing with her hands near her waist.
Some netizens interpreted the silhouette of her clothing and her posture as a “baby bump,” leading to a flurry of comments questioning if she was expecting her first child. The speculation intensified quickly, with many fans offering premature congratulations.
In response to the growing chatter, Management SOOP issued a swift and clear statement on October 23, 2025, stating that the pregnancy rumors are “completely untrue.” The agency clarified that the perceived change in her appearance was simply due to the fit of her clothing and the angle of the photograph, effectively putting an end to the baseless claims.
Kong Hyo-jin herself appeared to take the rumors in stride. Following the agency’s denial, she posted additional photos from her trip wearing the same outfit from different angles, subtly demonstrating that the initial photo had been misinterpreted.
In a subsequent interview, she addressed the public’s curiosity with her trademark wit, noting that while she and her husband are naturally considering their future together, they are currently enjoying their time as a newly reunited couple following Kevin Oh’s discharge from military service in June 2025.
Married in October 2022, the couple has often been the subject of public interest. However, both the actress and her representation have emphasized the importance of privacy regarding their personal lives.
This recent incident serves as a reminder of how quickly casual social media updates can be transformed into widespread rumors in the digital age. For now, Kong Hyo-jin remains focused on her upcoming professional projects and her personal life with her husband, free from the pressure of the recent speculation.
