Comedian Park Soo-hong (56) directly addressed the so-called "flexing about money" controversy surrounding his wife Kim Da-ye's (33) social media posts, calling it a "misunderstanding."

Previously, on the 7th, influencer Kim Da-ye posted a photo of her daughter, Jae-i, wearing a padded jacket on her Instagram Story.

The item was from luxury brand M Company, with a price range in the 1.4 million won bracket.

Given that Kim Da-ye had previously showcased shoes worth approximately 8 million won for Jae-i in June as well, some have continued to cast a critical eye on her, labeling it "flexing about money."

The controversy over "flexing about money" escalated further after reports emerged that Kim Da-ye, mindful of public opinion, had deleted the photo verifying the luxury padded jacket at "light speed" (a rapid deletion).

However, Park Soo-hong explained the full situation in a phone call with StarNews, stating, "The padded jacket for our daughter was not purchased by us as a couple; it was a gift from an acquaintance," and adding, "My wife simply took and posted a verification photo out of gratitude."

In particular, Park Soo-hong could not hide his bewilderment over the misunderstanding regarding the "light speed" deletion. This is because Instagram Stories have a feature that automatically removes posts after 24 hours.

Nevertheless, being perceived as acting out of consideration for negative public opinion led to the misunderstanding, leaving the Park Soo-hong couple inevitably flustered. In response, Park Soo-hong appealed, "Doesn't the Instagram Story feature disappear after 24 hours? People misunderstood that it was naturally removed as if we had deleted it directly. My wife is also very flustered because she unintentionally caused this misunderstanding."

Additionally, Park Soo-hong clarified regarding the verification photo of Jae-i's shoes, stating, "It was a gift given to us by the company where our daughter serves as a model for shoe advertisements."

The couple, Park Soo-hong and Kim Da-ye, married in 2021 and welcomed their daughter, Jae-i, in 2024.
