Is it possible to be so rude to call someone pregnant just because they gained a little weight?
Critics have gone too far in judging female stars' appearances, saying their facial contours look chubbier or their clothing fits differently. After marriage, if they gain weight or wear an outfit that shows a slightly protruding abdomen, they inevitably get caught up in

On the 7th, Kim Yuna attended a luxury brand photo event held at Lotte World Mall in Jamsil, Seoul. That day Kim Yuna stood in front of the photo wall wearing a black long dress with thin straps. With long straight hair, natural makeup and an elegant dress, she showed a luxurious and beautiful appearance.
However, Kim Yuna unexpectedly became embroiled in pregnancy rumors because her exposed upper arm line in the sleeveless dress looked a little fuller. Kim Yuna's side eventually issued a statement saying "not true" to contain the situation.
Meanwhile, actress Shin Mina also suffered from baseless pregnancy rumors after her marriage and was tormented by the rumors. Shin Mina tied the knot last December with actor Kim Woo-bin after 10 years of dating. As a representative actor couple in the entertainment world, many congratulations poured in on Shin Mina and Kim Woo-bin's wedding news.
But with the marriage announcement, Shin Mina had to fight rumors of "premarital pregnancy." About a month before the wedding, she attended a Disney+ event in Hong Kong, and because her clothing looked different from usual, an untimely pregnancy rumor arose.
At the time Shin Mina wore a loose-fit top that covered the upper body line and a dress notable for its flashy bead embellishments. It was a neat-looking outfit with a black leather shoulder decoration as a point. The dress had a relaxed fit that did not reveal her body shape, and some netizens claimed Shin Mina might be pregnant. It was simply because the dress had a looser fit than usual. Ultimately Shin Mina's agency released a statement saying "there is absolutely no premarital pregnancy" and warned against the spread of the rumors.
Actress Kong Hyojin also became unintentionally embroiled in pregnancy rumors because of her outfit after marrying singer Kevin Oh. Last October Kong Hyojin posted several photos on social media of her and her husband on a trip to Japan without any particular explanation.
In one of the photos, Kong Hyojin wore a relaxed-fit knit dress and placed her hand on her waist while slightly pushing out her belly. When pregnancy rumors arose from a single photo, Kong Hyojin's agency quickly denied it, saying "this is completely untrue." The pregnancy rumors ended as a prank, but it was a situation in which indiscriminate speculation that the person did not want and that was not true was repeated.
Meanwhile, singer HyunA was repeatedly caught up in pregnancy rumors after marrying Yong Junhyung. She, who was famous for a "skin-and-bones" figure, showed changes after gaining weight following her 2024 marriage to Yong Junhyung. Each time HyunA revealed an update, pregnancy rumors were mentioned, causing her embarrassment.
HyunA's side finally drew a line saying "not true" regarding the pregnancy rumors. When the rumors continued, HyunA herself said, "I am healthy, exercising hard and managing my weight very well. Don't worry about me."
