It is unknown whether Son Ye Jin conveyed the news of her pregnancy with joy or whether it was her inevitable choice to prevent gossip.
Son Ye Jin reported the news of her pregnancy on June 27 through an Instagram post announcing, "A new life has come to us". However, it is not known whether this is really the actress's choice or whether she does not want speculation to spread around her pregnancy.
In her announcement, Son Ye Jin wrote, “I'm very grateful but also careful so I haven't told anyone around me. We want to deliver this news immediately to our fans and those around us, who have been waiting for this news as much as we have been.”
Son Ye Jin decided to break the news about her private life to the public first. The actress seems to be very careful as she suffered from excessive speculation from netizens before.
It all starts with one photo. In May, Son Ye Jin posted on her SNS account photos of her daily life enjoying leisurely walks while wearing a white dress. Shortly after the photo was uploaded, some netizens suspected that she was pregnant, revealing her round and big belly.
This comment spread widely but Son Ye Jin immediately ended the rumor by confirming that "it's not true". Excessive gossip from netizens under the guise of love and interest in celebrities led to explanations about privacy and personal life issues being created.
Unlike many stars who prefer to remain "mysterious" about their private lives, Son Ye Jin communicates with fans and the public quite often. He quickly piqued the public's curiosity by confirming his romantic relationship and announcing his marriage early. Her wedding ceremony was held privately under tight security, but wedding photos were released through her agency to soothe fans' disappointment.
Son Ye Jin always keeps her promises and publicizes everything she needs to do, but the public keeps intruding on her private life. No one wants their privacy to be forcibly dug up, no matter how good it is. The excessive noise even took away Son Ye Jin's chance to make her pregnancy public first.
It is difficult for celebrities to have complete freedom in controlling their private lives, but the public must respect it. Although the interest and love for celebrities cannot be prevented, fans and netizens must refrain from creating baseless rumors and excessive interference in celebrity privacy. (wk/goddess)
