Hong Young Gi faces backlash after discussing her pre-marital pregnancy on the YouTube show Pajama Party. The popular influencer opened up about the struggles of being an unmarried mother at 20, recalling her initial reaction: “I just thought I was screwed, really.”
Hong revealed her husband was just 17 and still in high school when they found out about the pregnancy. She admitted it was a lot to handle while her career was taking off.
Her family wasn’t supportive either. “My mother-in-law was devastated,” Hong stated, adding that there was pressure to terminate the pregnancy. However, she insisted on giving birth, saying, “I didn’t have a choice in the matter. I just had to have the baby.”
While Hong felt the weight of her decision, her husband reacted positively. “He was just happy!” she noted, highlighting their contrasting responses.
After she reiterated the story in the recent episode, reactions exploded online. Many netizens questioned the appropriateness of her comments, with some arguing about potential double standards if the genders were reversed.
Critics voiced concerns about the implications for her child and whether she should have openly discussed such a delicate situation. Observations included:
- “If the genders were reversed, people would’ve gone crazy.”
- “This seems like something the kid might get teased for in the future.”
- “Even if some people already know, for the child’s sake, it might’ve been better not to bring it up.”
As the situation continues to unfold, fans are monitoring the discourse surrounding Hong’s candid revelations.
