Actor Jang Ki-yong and gymnast Son Yeon-jae denied the sudden romance rumor.
On May 27, an online community posted an article raising suspicions about 'rupstagram' by Jang Ki-yong and Son Yeon-jae. 'rupstagram' means an act or photo of exchanging signals between lovers through Instagram, one of the SNS channels.
Netizen, who raised the suspicion, noted a photo of the Busan Sea posted by the two on April 25. Guess, who seems to have taken the picture at a similar angle, soon spread to suspicion that the two had traveled together.
Here, Jang Ki-yong said in an interview in the past, "I like people like chicks. For example, the atmosphere like Son Yeon-jae "was also recalled and set fire to the romance rumor.
However, an official of Jang Ki-yong agency YG Entertainment said on the 28th, "Jang Ki-yong does not know Son Yeon-jae" and the untimely romance rumor was finished with simple happening.
'rupstagram' is always hotly noticed as entertainers who are in public love often post date photos through SNS. Especially, when Guess admits to dating late, the photos of the two people are soon becoming evidence of love and interest is also busy.
So, there are many cases where the wrong Guess is done only with SNS photos. Just because you posted a picture taken at the same place, you are suspected of traveling with you, and you are also worried about one friendly comment. Rumors that have spread around Netizen gain even more power through the Guess article. After that, even if the parties announce the official position to deny it, the realityless romance rumor continues to be talked about and remains in the public memory.
The damage is directed to the two parties. A simple travel certification shot hurts the image or work; when Jang Ki-yong, Son Yeon-jae romance rumor, was raised, some Netizens responded that they were "not immersed in 'spring falling together' because of the Jang Ki-yong romance rumor."
Or a rupstagram romance rumor that smokes in a chimney. If you have a romance rumor with a person who is just a daily photo, what star would like to do SNS activity? It seems that fans need to be generously cared for so that SNS, which runs with the desire to share daily life with fans, does not catch the star's ankle. The media also requires a mature attitude that does not easily write Guess articles about rumors among Netizens.
