GOT7’s Jinyoung and Park Bo Young spark debate with couple photoshoot
GOT7’s Jinyoung and Park Bo Young are facing mixed reactions after a recent couple photoshoot promoting their K-Drama Our Unwritten Souls went viral online.
On July 15, photobooth shots of the actors were shared, showing them close and affectionate—cheek to cheek, forehead to forehead, and cute skinship moments. Fans quickly flooded social media, reacting to their chemistry in the promo photos, which wasn’t even part of the drama’s scenes.
Twitter blew up with fans saying:
“WHAT THE HELL JINYOUNG AND BOYOUNG”

Despite the glow from fans, some Korean netizens expressed discomfort. They felt the intimacy felt too real and blurred the line between acting and reality after the drama aired.
Comments from online forums include:
“It was filmed for a drama event, so isn’t it okay…? I looked up Park Jinyoung fans because of Our Unwritten Souls, and they seemed to really enjoy shipping the drama couple… Who’s getting mad? LOL”
“I get why some people are not into it—they probably just want things to end where the drama ended. It doesn’t really feel like Mi Ji and Ho Soo anymore, so maybe that’s why.”
“The drama’s over, so doing stuff like this now feels a bit much.”
“Feels like they’re selling a delulu fantasy… If I were a fan of the actors, I’d really hate it. LOL It seriously gives off raw, real-couple vibes.”
As the photos spread widely, the controversy around how far stars should blur on-screen and off-screen boundaries with fans continues to heat up. Fans remain split between loving the chemistry and wanting to keep the drama world separate.
No official responses from Jinyoung, Park Bo Young, or their agencies have been reported yet.
