Go Hyun Jung is facing controversy after liking a post featuring rookie idol Annie from ALLDAY PROJECT. The incident unfolded on September 11, 2025, when W Korea showcased Annie’s Chanel photoshoot. Among the numerous likes, Go Hyun Jung’s stood out, surprising both fandoms. Why? The two share familial ties—Annie is Go Hyun Jung’s niece.
This familial connection has sparked a mixed bag of reactions online. Fans were quick to speculate whether the “Like” signified underlying tensions related to Go Hyun Jung’s past marriage to Annie’s uncle, Jung Yong Jin, the chairman of Shinsegae Group.
Some netizens interpreted Go Hyun Jung’s like as a shade towards the family she once married into, as rumors about the Shinsegae family’s disapproval of celebrity weddings have long circulated.
But the speculation didn’t stop there. Other internet users defended both Go Hyun Jung and Annie, viewing the aunt-niece interaction as a gesture of goodwill after years of separation.
Amid the swirling opinions, Go Hyun Jung took action and un-liked the post, perhaps overwhelmed by the attention and backlash.
As this story develops, fans are left wondering about the implications of their interaction and the dynamics of family ties in the spotlight.
