Gukhwa posts Shakespeare quote following hidden camera controversy on Contract Marriage

'Contract Marriage' participant Gukhwa shared a quote about trust on Instagram following a controversy involving her virtual husband, Yeong-su, who filmed her without consent for two days. While Yeong-su issued a public apology for the incident, it remains unconfirmed if the post was related to the filming.

Gukhwa, a participant in 'I Am Solo: Love Continues' and 'Contract Marriage', posted a quote by William Shakespeare on Instagram. Along with the text, "Love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking together in the same direction; and the power that allows one to maintain that eye of the heart is only 'trust'," she included hashtags such as #trust, #wedding, #marriage, #guest, and #guestlook. In the photo, she showcased a guest look wearing a black tweed dress and pearl earrings, receiving fan comments such as "You are pretty," "I am always rooting for you," and "You are elegant."

The post has garnered attention as it coincides with the recent hidden camera controversy that arose on 'Contract Marriage'. However, it has not been confirmed whether Gukhwa wrote this post in relation to the incident.

In the episode of 'Contract Marriage' aired on KBS Joy and MBC every1 on the 2nd, it was revealed that Yeong-su, a participant from the 32nd season of 'I Am SOLO' and Gukhwa's virtual husband, installed a personal camera in the common living room and filmed for two days without Gukhwa's consent. Upon discovering this, Gukhwa expressed displeasure regarding the filming without prior consent and demanded the deletion of the video.

As the controversy spread, Yeong-su issued a public apology to Gukhwa through his social media. While explaining that his intention was to gift a commemorative video after the filming ended, he admitted it was a clear mistake not to seek the other party's consent first. Gukhwa expressed her gratitude for the message he sent to her on the 4th.
