Kim Jiyoo denies marriage and Poland emigration rumors

Comedian Kim Jiyoo has cleared up misunderstandings among fans by directly addressing rumors regarding her emigration to Poland and marriage.

On the 20th, Kim posted on her social media (SNS), "I am sincerely grateful for all the love you have shown Fox Club."

She continued, "I am not emigrating or getting married. This is just part of the Fox Club story, so please stop the misunderstandings. Also, please don't stop flirting with me," she added.

Recently, rumors had been spreading online that Kim was preparing for marriage and moving abroad with a boyfriend from Poland. However, it was confirmed to be a misunderstanding caused by the show's scripted setting being mistaken for reality.

Previously, on the 19th, Urban Zakapa's Jo Hyun Ah expressed her bewilderment on SNS, posting, "I heard Kim Jiyoo isn't going to Poland. This is ridiculous. I was fooled." In response, Kim gave a witty reply, "How could I leave you behind, unnie?", bringing laughter to the situation.

The controversy began with the popular series 'Fox Club' on the YouTube channel 'Meme-gorithm'.

In a video released on the 12th, Kim stated that she was dating Seok Matthew, a foreigner she met at a club in Yongsan, saying, "Matthew is returning to his hometown, Poland, and I have decided to go with him." She then confessed, "I am also thinking seriously about marriage. I felt like I couldn't let this person go."

Following this, scenes where the cast members shed tears while saying their goodbyes, combined with the direction suggesting Kim was leaving 'Fox Club', led to the misunderstanding that she had announced an actual marriage and emigration. However, the scenes were staged for the fake documentary-style content.

Born in 1990, Kim has garnered attention for her realistic acting that blurs the lines between reality and fiction in 'Fox Club'. 'Fox Club' is a fake documentary series that structures human relationships and dating episodes occurring in bars and clubs as if they were real documentaries, gaining popularity through the natural acting and situational sketches of its cast.

As Kim's announcement regarding her move to Poland and marriage was part of the show's expanded universe, fans are accepting the incident with laughter and showing interest in the upcoming stories in 'Fox Club'.
