The full story behind the so-called "SNS wealth-flexing controversy" surrounding comedian Park Soo-hong (56) and his wife Kim Da-ye (33) has come to light.

Earlier, on the 7th, influencer Kim Da-ye shared a photo on her Instagram Story showing her daughter, Jae-i, wearing a puffer jacket.

However, this unexpectedly led to accusations of "flexing wealth." Some netizens subjected the couple to excessive scrutiny and indiscriminate criticism because the jacket in question was a high-end luxury item from Brand M, priced at over 1.4 million won.

Moreover, a photo Kim Da-ye posted in June of this year showing Jae-i wearing shoes worth approximately 8 million won was suddenly brought up again, making the couple a target for malicious commenters. This was compounded by reports that the mentioned photos had been "deleted at the speed of light," instantly turning Park Soo-hong and Kim Da-ye into objects of ridicule.

However, according to StarNews's investigation, all the posts criticized by some malicious commenters were merely photos documenting gifts received. In a phone interview with StarNews, Park Soo-hong directly clarified, "We did not buy the puffer jacket; it was a gift from an acquaintance," adding, "My wife simply posted a photo to express her gratitude."

He also could not hide his frustration over the misunderstanding regarding the "deletion at the speed of light." Park Soo-hong stated, "Doesn't the Instagram Story feature disappear after 24 hours? People misunderstood that it was deleted directly when it had simply disappeared naturally. My wife was very flustered because she unintentionally caused this misunderstanding."

He also clarified the unfavorable attention surrounding the photo of the shoes. Park Soo-hong explained, "My daughter took on a role as a model for a shoe advertisement, and the company kindly gave us the shoes as a gift."

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