Actress Kang Eun-bi has explained how the shocking rumors started that falsely accused her of being romantically involved with her own younger brother.
On the 13th, the YouTube channel 'Ige Jinjja Choejong' (This Is Really the Final) uploaded a video titled, "Affairs, Cults, Dating My Real Brother? Putting All the Rumors to Rest."
In the episode, Kim Ttolttol sat down with Kang Eun-bi and Choi Yeojin, both of whom recently announced their marriages, to share candid conversations.
Kang Eun-bi, who married former ulzzang (famous for good looks online) Byun Jun-pil after 17 years of dating, shared, "It feels so passionate. We've never broken up—not even for a minute. We couldn't even say the words 'let's break up' because it felt too sad."
Reflecting on sharing all her twenties and thirties with her husband, Kang Eun-bi gushed, "He's so handsome. He's really tall—184.7 cm. He even has a really cute butt. He played soccer all the way through high school."
She jokingly added that his only flaw is that he only has eyes for her, sharing a sweet update on their relationship. Kim Ttolttol then brought up the past incident where Kang Eun-bi had denied dating rumors.
Kang Eun-bi explained, "The reason I denied the dating rumors back then wasn't because they were about my husband, but because people thought I was dating my own younger brother."
She continued, "There were dating rumors because of a photo I took with my real brother. So I clarified, 'That's my younger brother.' But then, other reporters found a photo of my husband and said it was him. Everything got mixed up, and suddenly I was labeled a liar who denied dating Byun Jun-pil by claiming he was my brother."
Kang Eun-bi revealed, "On the day I announced my marriage, over 200 bloggers called me an 'incest actress.' There were so many posts saying, 'Kang Eun-bi married her brother,' that I had to report them one by one. It was an incredibly upsetting experience," she confessed, sharing her emotional turmoil from that time.
