Fans Worry About Drastic Weight Loss
TV host and former model Hong Jinkyung recently turned heads—or rather, stirred hearts—after posting some noticeably slim snaps to Instagram. The caption read casually enough: “The chilly season’s here. You gotta stay slim to enjoy layered fashion.” But her followers weren’t just admiring her fall fits.
In the photos, Hong shows off her autumn wardrobe with sleek layered looks. Yet, many fans couldn’t help but notice her increasingly slender frame and subtly weary appearance. Her hair seemed thinner, and the sparkle in her eyes—just a bit dimmer.
Social Media Reacts With Mixed Emotions
Concerned followers flooded her comments:
- “Unnie, you’ve lost even more weight.”
- “Is something wrong? You look tired.”
- “Please take care of yourself!”
- “Make sure you’re eating enough.”
Still, not all responses were doom and gloom. Singer and variety star GREE, son of veteran broadcaster Kim Gura, chimed in with praise: “Wow! Unnie, you look YOUNG!”
Post-Divorce, But Still Close
Fans’ concerns aren’t unfounded. Back in August, Hong opened up about a major life change on YouTube—her divorce after 22 years of marriage. Appearing on Jeon Soni’s channel “Jeon Soni Left the House”, she explained, “It wasn’t anyone’s fault. We just decided to live different lives.”
With that signature sincerity she’s known for, Hong added, “Strangely, it wasn’t until we became strangers that we were able to rediscover a genuine friendship.”
Despite the split, her relationship with her ex seems surprisingly warm. On Netflix’s variety hit Screwballs, she revealed that she still regularly talks with him: “We went out for naengmyeon (Korean cold noodles) with our daughter the day before filming.” She added with a smile, “I’ll always be grateful, and I’ll always root for Rael’s dad.”
Still Stylish, Still Standing
Through it all, Hong Jinkyung hasn’t missed a beat when it comes to fashion. Her recent Instagram looks show she’s still got that effortless chic appeal, even if her slimmer figure stirred concern. While some fans are aching to see her healthier, others are applauding her resilience and candid attitude.
So, is it a style glow-up or a cause for concern? Maybe a bit of both. Either way, Jinkyung proves she’s navigating life changes with grace, humor, and a whole lot of fashion flair.
What’s Next for Jinkyung?
With her ever-busy schedule, real talk on relationships, and refreshing honesty, Hong remains one of Korea’s most relatable celebs. Maybe that’s why people care so deeply: they’ve grown with her. Fans will be watching, not just for what outfit she posts next, but for signs that she’s doing okay—not just in style, but in spirit too.
