Choi Hong-man and Tzuyang close-up photo controversy... Some say "too much skinship" vs "like father and daughter"

Model and broadcaster Song Haena and mixed martial artist and broadcaster Choi Hongman recently attracted attention for their intimate physical contact in photos shared on social media.
On the 11th, Choi Hongman posted a photo on his SNS with the caption, ″Jjuyang, many meals, please watch~ Saturday 7:50 PM ENA NXT K-STAR.″ The photo showed Choi Hongman holding Jjuyang in his arms, with Jjuyang smiling inside his embrace. After the photo was released, netizens left various comments about their silhouettes and poses, such as ″It looks like she’s sitting on his knee and being hugged,″ and ″Isn’t their physical contact too close?″ On the other hand, some responded, ″They look like a father and daughter,″ and ″The daughter is pretty.″
Earlier, in March, a broadcast showed Jjuyang going to meet Choi Hongman. At that time, the manager said, ″It’s the first time Jjuyang wants to protect a man,″ and Jjuyang said, ″He had difficulty eating during the shoot. I usually can’t say no. Since he also can’t say no or speak up like me...″ She continued, ″I thought he would be boisterous at first, but he’s delicate. I will protect him.″ Jjuyang also revealed that she was the one who asked for Choi Hongman’s contact information first. She said, ″I’ve never seen anyone more timid than me. I want to take care of him,″ and added, ″Though the age difference is an issue, I want to be friends.″
Meanwhile, last month, Song Haena posted a photo on SNS showing close physical contact with senior model Lee Hyunyi’s husband, Hong Seonggi. Song Haena rested her face on Hong Seonggi’s shoulder and said, ″Unnie, this man is okay,″ to which Lee Hyunyi responded, ″That man is mine.″ Lee Hyunyi and Song Haena had previously worked together as part of the tall team on SBS’s ″Kick a Goal, Girls.″ Song Haena linked arms, rested her face on his shoulder, and with her left arm, blocked physical contact between her face and Hong Seonggi’s shoulder, showing polite restraint.
Regarding this photo, one netizen pointed out, ″You placed the other person’s forearm too close to the chest,″ and Song Haena replied, ″That’s right. Confirmed.″
