Recently, AI-generated family photos appearing to show the child of actors Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin have rapidly spread across online communities and social media, becoming a hot topic. These images depict the couple and a young child posing intimately in airplane seats, looking so natural that many fans mistook them for actual family photos.
However, it was confirmed that these images were AI-generated content posted on a fan-operated social media account for Son Ye Jin. Although the posts were marked as 'AI content,' users who did not check this detail quickly shared them, believing them to be real. The advanced AI technology accurately rendered facial expressions and atmosphere, making it difficult even for fans to suspect their artificial nature.
This is not the first time AI-generated family photos have caused confusion, with similar composite images circulating last year. Due to the high public interest in celebrity marriages, pregnancies, and children, there is a significant risk of such content being re-shared without source verification. Therefore, it is increasingly recognized that AI-generated images should clearly indicate their origin, and users sharing them should verify the original post and source.
