Hong Jin-young Claps Back at Pregnancy Rumors After Viral 'Belly Bump' Clip: "I'm Tearing That Skirt Apart"
Invitation From Bachelor AgainSinger Hong Jin-young is pushing back at out-of-the-blue pregnancy rumors sparked by an unflattering clip.

On the Oct. 14 episode of SBS’s "Invitation from Bachelor Again", singer-songwriter couple Cho Jung-chi and Jung In, Hong Jin-young, and influencer Yoon Ha-jung join the hosts for rapid-fire banter and big laughs.

During taping, Hong said she’s been suffering over a recent video that made her midsection look bigger than it is, leading to comments and even pregnancy speculation. When the hosts teased, “Are you sure that’s not a real pooch?” she fired back that she plans to rip apart “the silk skirt that started the whole mess,” sending the set into laughter.

Jung In shared that while she married Cho Jung-chi because she’s drawn to the delicate, slightly sickly type, married life has had its challenges. She joked that even when she was at a postpartum care center, he was the one lying down more. And during arguments, she added, he doesn’t even have the strength to flip the table―once he tossed a tiny plate of fern greens instead―leaving everyone in stitches.

Later, when the group traded stories of recent heart-fluttering moments, Hong confessed she swooned watching Ju Ji-hoon in a drama, winning knowing nods from the women. Asked when her husband looks sexiest, Jung In quipped, “Honestly, just waking up healthy and on time in the morning is sexy enough,” sparking more laughter.

Meanwhile, "Single’s Inferno 3" alum and million-follower influencer Yoon Ha-jung dubbed herself a “flirting pro,” boasting, “No guy has ever resisted my signature ‘chin flirt’ move.” When the hosts asked for a demo, she deadpanned, “I need a handsome guy in front of me―and I don’t see one here,” landing a savage punchline.

Catch the delightfully chaotic chemistry of Cho Jung-chi, Jung In, Hong Jin-young, and Yoon Ha-jung with the hosts on "Invitation from Bachelor Again" tonight, Oct. 14, at 11:10 p.m. on SBS.
