Kim Da-ye denies bragging after controversy over daughter's expensive jacket

Kim Da-ye expressed exhaustion and sadness on the 8th following claims that she bragged about her daughter Jae-i's pink padded jumper, which netizens speculated was a Moncler item worth over 1 million won.

Kim Da-ye, the wife of broadcaster Park Soo-hong, released a statement on the 8th regarding the controversy surrounding her daughter Jae-i's expensive padded jacket. On her Threads account, Kim wrote, "Instagram Story photos disappear after 24 hours." She continued, "Provocative and malicious articles are pouring out, claiming I was bragging about a baby's padded jacket—something I never mentioned, nor could I even think of doing. It is exhausting. And it is very sad."

The controversy began when Kim posted a photo of Jae-i wearing a pink padded jumper on her Instagram Story on the 5th. After the photo disappeared from the account, some netizens claimed the jumper was a Moncler product worth more than 1 million won, leading to speculation that she had deleted the post late after bragging about the expensive item. Kim explained that she did not delete it herself, but that it disappeared automatically after 24 hours had passed since posting.

In June, Kim had also sparked debate among netizens when she shared a photo of Jae-i's shoe rack with a caption stating, "The shoes alone are 8 million won." Park Soo-hong and Kim Da-ye registered their marriage in 2021, held their wedding the following year, and had their daughter, Jae-i, in 2024.
