Song Hae Na has found herself at the center of online debate after sharing a series of playful photos featuring fellow model Lee Hyun Yi and her husband, Hong Sung Gi.

On June 28, Song Hae Na uploaded several photos to her social media account showing herself jokingly linking arms with Hong Sung Gi and leaning against his chest while posing for the camera. The playful images quickly attracted attention, with many fans amused by the trio’s lighthearted interaction.

Adding to the joke, Song captioned the post, “Unnie, this guy’s pretty good,” teasing her longtime friend. Standing just behind the pair, Lee Hyun Yi exaggerated her facial expression while an edited caption reading “That guy is my guy” appeared in the image, making it clear that everyone involved was participating in the joke.

Despite the humorous setup, the photos soon sparked criticism from some netizens.

Several online commenters argued that Song Hae Na’s physical closeness with another woman’s husband crossed a line, regardless of how close the three are in real life. Critics suggested that the pose was overly intimate and questioned whether such interactions were appropriate to post publicly.

Others, however, defended the model, pointing out that Lee Hyun Yi herself was present during the photos and actively participated in the joke. Supporters argued that the playful expressions and captions clearly showed there was no discomfort between the friends, and that viewers were reading too much into a harmless moment.

The incident quickly became another example of how celebrity social media posts can divide public opinion, with some focusing on personal boundaries while others emphasizing the context behind the photos.

Song Hae Na and Lee Hyun Yi have been close friends for years, having built their friendship through the modeling industry before appearing together on numerous television programs. Their playful chemistry has long been familiar to viewers, making many fans unsurprised by the lighthearted exchange.

Lee Hyun Yi has been married to Hong Sung Gi since 2012. The couple has two sons together, and Hong—who works as a semiconductor engineer—previously attracted public attention after reports revealed that he had been promoted to a department head position at Samsung Electronics.

Although the photos generated mixed reactions online, neither Song Hae Na nor Lee Hyun Yi has responded to the criticism. Judging by the original post, the moment appeared to be intended as nothing more than a playful joke among close friends, though it has once again demonstrated how even lighthearted celebrity interactions can quickly become the subject of heated online debate.
