Yuna Kim posts new photos amid recurring pregnancy rumors

Figure skating star Yuna Kim shared recent photos of her daily life on social media on the 19th, following renewed speculation that her clothing silhouettes and a teddy bear post indicated she is pregnant. Her agency has previously denied such rumors, calling them groundless.

“Figure Skating Queen” Yuna Kim has revealed her recent status following renewed pregnancy rumors. While minor clues ranging from clothing silhouettes to photos of teddy bears led to pregnancy speculations, her agency has previously drawn a line, stating the rumors are groundless. This time, she captured attention with everyday scenes of herself wearing a cardigan and applying lip gloss.

On the 19th, Yuna Kim posted several photos to her social media account. In the released images, she displayed her characteristic elegant and calm atmosphere with her hair neatly tied while wearing a cardigan. Her unadorned daily charm was also visible as she struck various poses while applying lip gloss. Her sophisticated style, fitting for her role as a Dior ambassador, also drew attention.

The pregnancy rumors surrounding Yuna Kim have surfaced twice recently. Last month, when her appearance in a black sleeveless long dress at a global beauty brand event was revealed, some netizens raised the possibility of pregnancy, citing a silhouette that appeared different from before. However, some responded that it was premature speculation, noting that body shapes can look different depending on the form and way clothing is worn.

At the time, Yuna Kim's agency denied the pregnancy rumors regarding the reports, stating they were "groundless." The agency clarified, "Depending on the clothes, one might look like they have gained weight," adding, "Pregnancy rumors have surfaced before and it was not true then, and she is not pregnant now either." They made it clear that concluding pregnancy based solely on physical silhouette can be contrary to the facts.

Recently, a photo of a teddy bear posted by Yuna Kim sparked further speculation. She shared an image of a large teddy bear and a small teddy bear sitting side by side with the caption, "It's childish but cute." Because the cute scene resembled parent and baby bears, some netizens left comments such as, "Daddy bear, baby bear?" As reactions added that such dolls are often used as attachment objects for children, the pregnancy rumors resurfaced.

However, there are no confirmed facts to link everyday elements such as the size or arrangement of the teddy bears and her clothing to pregnancy. As online speculations repeat even after the agency denied the rumors, there are also criticisms regarding the tendency to link a celebrity's private physical changes or household items to pregnancy.

Yuna Kim first met Ko Woo-rim of the crossover group Forestella through "All That Skate 2018." After dating for three years, the two held their wedding in October 2022. Even after marriage, their daily lives and married life continue to receive steady interest from the public.

However, public interest does not serve as a basis for speculating on private lives. The photos recently released by Yuna Kim are posts capturing neat fashion and natural daily life. Amid the repeated pregnancy rumors, voices are calling for the need to look at the situation based on the positions stated by the individual and the agency rather than unverified speculation.
