On February 18, Noh Jin-won posted a photo on his Instagram along with the caption: “A day like this has come for me too… I will love magnificently.”
In the photo, Noh Jin-won is seen sitting at a table with a glass of beer in front of him, while a young woman sits next to him. He gently put his arm around her shoulders in what Korean netizens call a “labor” pose: place your hand lightly without grasping it. The woman appeared to be at least 20 years younger than the 56-year-old actor, prompting a flurry of comments about their notable age difference.
Among the comments, actress Heo In-young jokingly wrote: “Dad and daughter~ Anyway, you look good together.” Noh Jin-won quickly responded, “Please refrain from comments that insult our relationship!”
Other comments questioned whether the woman was real, with some suggesting she could have been created using artificial intelligence. Noh Jin-won personally responded to every suspicion. When an acquaintance asked, “How did you do it?” he replied, “What are you talking about? Do it?” Another comment saying “With your niece” prompted him to respond, “Granddaughter? Not even daughter?”
To a brief reading of the comment “TO THE?” he replied firmly, “This is real.” When someone teased, “You have become an expert in artificial intelligence” he replied jokingly, “No.”
Born in 1970, Noh Jin-won turns 56 this year. He has long been active on stage, acting alongside Park Chul-min in shows such as Liar 2 AND A tale of old thieves. He debuted in the 1990 film This is the beginning of love and later appeared as an assistant director of the live broadcast in the 2006 hit film 200lbs of beauty.
With her heartfelt revelation on Instagram and her direct responses, Noh Jin-won made it clear that her relationship is very real, despite the jokes and suspicions about AI circulating online.
