The truth behind the photos of Son Ye Jin and Hyun Bin's son... AI images created by fans

Recently, photos showing actors Son Ye Jin and Hyun Bin together with their son have drawn the attention of netizens as they were shared across various online communities and SNS. The photos included scenes such as Hyun Bin holding their son in his arms while smiling brightly with Son Ye Jin, or the three of them posing affectionately together. Since the two actors have never revealed their son's face to the public, these images garnered significant interest.

Some users mistook these for actual family photos, reacting by praising the child's appearance for resembling his parents. However, according to media reports, it has been confirmed that these images are not actual photographs but content produced using AI technology. The account that posted the photos appears to be operated by a fan of Son Ye Jin, and while the post included the label 'AI content,' it seems a misunderstanding occurred among those who failed to notice it.

This type of happening is not the first. Last year, similar forms of composite family photos spread online and caused controversy, and at that time, Son Ye Jin's side explained that they were composite images created by fans. With the rapid advancement of AI technology recently, images that are difficult to distinguish from real photos are being produced in large quantities.

As content related to celebrity families or children receives high public interest, points are being raised that indiscriminate spreading without verifying the facts can cause confusion. Meanwhile, Son Ye Jin and Hyun Bin, who married in 2022, have not revealed their child's face to this day to protect their son's privacy.
