Hong Jin-young's Wild Dance on a Table—Hong Sun-young's "Doing all sorts of things"—A Twist of Truth

Singer Hong Jin-young brought laughter by showcasing a wild Tecktonik dance on top of a table. However, what became even more of a hot topic than her younger sister's unconventional dance was the reaction of her biological older sister, Hong Sun-young. She drew bursts of laughter with a realistic sisterly remark, "Doing all sorts of things," but then added more humor by quickly shifting her stance to say, "Hong Jin-young is cute." A single video created with AI technology has blossomed into a pleasant bickering session between the sisters.

On the 11th, Hong Jin-young posted the video on her SNS with the caption, "Since many people are doing it lately, I tried it too? hahaha. It feels like the face isn't mine. Is it a face that AI doesn't work on?" In the video, Hong Jin-young, wearing a black mini dress, is on top of a table, vigorously waving both arms while performing the Tecktonik dance. People around her are cheering with their hands up and filming with mobile phones, creating an atmosphere as if an actual performance were happening on-site.

However, the video was not an actual filming site. It was a video synthesized using AI technology, and Hong Jin-young herself burst into laughter upon seeing her awkwardly expressed face. While the movements are flamboyant and the surrounding atmosphere is heated, the face itself looks somewhat different from her usual appearance, creating a strange sense of dissonance. Hong Jin-young reacted honestly, saying, "It feels like the face isn't mine," playfully accepting the awkwardness unique to AI-synthesized videos.

Upon seeing this, Hong Sun-young immediately left a realistic evaluation of her sister's video. She showed a sighing reaction, writing, "Sigh..... doing all sorts of things......" Instead of being impressed by the flamboyant Tecktonik dance and the unconventional scene created by the AI, she threw a blunt remark toward her sister. Fans burst into laughter at the direct reaction, which was only possible because they are closer family members than anyone else.

But Hong Sun-young's reaction did not end there. After leaving a cold evaluation for her sister, she immediately added a comment saying, "Hong Jin-young is cute." The way she scolded her as if she were bewildered at first, only to eventually reveal her affection, was the quintessential image of real-life sisters. Her heart, which views her sister's prank with disapproval yet finds it cute, was fully contained in the two comments, becoming a point of laughter just as much as the video itself.

The fans' reactions were also intense. One fan shared their experience of mistaking it for a real situation, saying, "Without looking at the caption and just glancing at the video, I thought it was a video of her going to drink after an event and getting so excited that she climbed on a table to dance." This implies that the AI-synthesized video looked that natural. Other fans added jokes and support, saying, "She's not as pretty as in real life" and "Why don't you try it for real?"

While content that uses AI technology to realistically implement the faces or actions of celebrities is gaining popularity online, Hong Jin-young's video also provided unexpected laughter. As she herself pointed out her awkward face first, and her sister responded with a blunt comment, the simple trend video was enhanced by the pleasant chemistry between the sisters. Above all, as Hong Sun-young's scolding and praise followed one after another, the close relationship between the two was naturally revealed.

Hong Jin-young debuted in 2007 with the group SWAN and transitioned to a solo singer in 2009. Since then, she has been loved by the public through hit songs including 'Love Battery' and has been active on various stages. While Hong Jin-young is someone who lifts the atmosphere with her high-energy performances on stage, this time she provided a different kind of laughter with the quirky dance video created by AI and her sister's blunt remark.
