The two stars reacted very differently over the silhouette. Singer Kim Jong-kook suddenly deleted the silhouette presumed to be his wife when it was revealed, heightening curiosity, while actress Park Ji-hyun immediately dismissed dating rumors by explaining that the silhouette of the man suspected to be her romantic partner was from a trip with a couple of acquaintances.
First to respond to the silhouette was Kim Jong-kook. Kim Jong-kook, who delayed his honeymoon after marrying in September because of scheduled commitments, recently took his honeymoon in Paris, France, and posted a video on his YouTube channel titled "hotel breakfast workout..." documenting it.
In the video, Kim Jong-kook showed his "exercise fanatic" side by working out every day even during the honeymoon. When asked whether working out on a honeymoon would cause fights, he offered a clear answer: "I can go out and work out while my wife is sleeping." The content, which made it hard to tell whether it was a honeymoon video or an exercise vlog, drew attention.
While showing the interior after moving hotels, a woman's silhouette was captured in the window. The woman, presumed to be Kim Jong-kook's wife, had long hair and a slender build, and she drew extra attention because Kim Jong-kook had not previously mentioned his wife on broadcasts.
As the silhouette presumed to be his wife became a topic of conversation, Kim Jong-kook chose to delete it. His YouTube channel removed the video without providing any particular explanation. Although it appeared to be a move to consider his non-celebrity wife, deleting the video without explanation only increased curiosity.
If Kim Jong-kook erased the silhouette by deleting the video, Park Ji-hyun took a direct approach to explain the silhouette. On the 9th, Park Ji-hyun posted photos from her trip on her social media account, saying "a fully packed holiday."
Park Ji-hyun spent a leisurely holiday. She enjoyed her time swimming or resting and was immersed in happiness, but an unexpected dating rumor disrupted her holiday mood because a silhouette of a man holding a camera was captured in the window behind the sofa in the released photo.
Some questioned whether Park Ji-hyun's boyfriend accompanied her on the holiday trip after seeing this photo.
But Park Ji-hyun's side drew a line, saying, "She went on the trip with acquaintances including the personal trainer and his wife," and "Everyone who was with her is tagged on social media. The dating rumors are completely untrue." Thanks to the agency's active clarification, Park Ji-hyun's sudden dating rumor truly remained just a sudden rumor.
On the 10th, after the holiday ended, the contrasting responses of the two stars over the silhouette became a minor happening. Kim Jong-kook still keeps things tightly hidden, while Park Ji-hyun explained things openly.
