'Goliath' Choi Hong-man and 'mukbang fairy' Tzuyang's affectionate close-up shot is creating unexpected 'AI graphic suspicions' (?) because of the unreal physical difference and poses.
Mixed martial artist and broadcaster Choi Hong-man posted a friendly shot with Tzuyang on his social media on the 11th. Choi Hong-man shared the photo with the caption "Tzuyang myeokki manygwanbu~♡ Saturday 7:50 p.m. ENA NXT K-STAR" encouraging viewers to tune in.
But immediately after the photo was released, public attention was completely captured by the two people's unreal silhouettes and peculiar poses. In the photo, Choi Hong-man appears to be holding Tzuyang in his massive arms as if supporting her, and Tzuyang is smiling, looking very petite in his embrace.
The problem is that the physical difference between the two is so enormous beyond imagination that some internet users who saw the photo flooded the comments debating whether the pose actually occurred and questioning the image's authenticity.
In fact, internet users reacted with comments such as "They're sitting together on a chair now, right?! Not on Hong-man hyung's thigh, no it can't be," "It looks like she's sitting on his knee and he's hugging her," expressing astonishment at the strange close pose, and "Is this really a photo?", "Why does it look so AI-like", "I thought it was a detailed graphic composite."
At the same time, while many responded "It's almost like a father and daughter," fans excitedly anticipated a mukbang pairing between the big eater Tzuyang and the large-framed Choi Hong-man with remarks like "Who will eat more?", "I think Hong-man hyung would lose," showing entertainment-oriented expectations.
Earlier in March, a broadcast showed Tzuyang going to meet Choi Hong-man. The manager said, "She said it's the first time there's a man she wants to protect," and Tzuyang explained, "He seemed uncomfortable eating during the shoot. I'm really bad at refusing. Because he, like me, is very bad at refusing and bad at speaking.." Then Tzuyang revealed her fandom, saying, "At first I thought he'd be boisterous, but he's delicate. I'll protect him."
Tzuyang even asked Choi Hong-man for his contact information first. He said, "I've never seen someone more timid than me. I want to take care of him." He then conveyed his inner feelings, saying, "I may be too old, but I want to be friends."<
