Initially, the video reported that the photo—capturing Song Kang and Han So Hee in casual outfits—surfaced on an Instagram feed allegedly belonging to Song Kang’s sasaeng fan. While the two people in the photo are masked and hence nearly impossible to recognize, the said Instagram account shared the photo with hashtags #SongKang and #HanSoHee and re-sparked the dating rumor between these Nevertheless co-stars.

Hinting that he is the person photographed next to Han So Hee, the actor uploaded the original version of the photo on his Instagram story and tagged the actress—as well as the stills photographer who actually snapped the photo.

Further reports revealed that the stills photographer @nogrid_photo had deleted the photo after having first shared it in an Instagram story. Shortly after the story was deleted, the same photo began circulating as a “Song Kang and Han So Hee’s date” photo out of nowhere.

While Koreans have since been commenting on “how easy it is to stir up rumors based on unverified photos,” SOJANG has yet to remove the speculative video from its channel.
