Kiss Video of Park Seo Joon and Kim Da Mi Sparks Outrage Across the Internet
A hyper-realistic AI-generated video showing Park Seo-joon and Kim Da-mi sharing an intimate kiss has gone viral across social media platforms causing confusion, backlash, and renewed debate over the ethics of deepfake content.
The video, which mimics a behind-the-scenes or candid moment between the two Itaewon Class stars, was not a real interaction but a sophisticated fabrication created entirely with artificial intelligence. Its uncanny realism down to subtle facial expressions, angles, and lighting led many viewers to believe the footage was authentic.
Although Park Seo Joon and Kim Da Mi exhibited strong on-screen chemistry in the hit 2020 drama, they have only ever been professional colleagues. While fans “shipped” the two heavily during and after the show’s broadcast, neither party has ever confirmed or hinted at a real-life relationship.
What’s fueling the public outrage isn’t just the virality of the clip but how convincingly real it appears. Misled fans flooded comment sections with overreactions and wild speculations, while others condemned the misuse of AI and deepfake technology. Critics point to the broader dangers of manipulated media and the lack of regulation surrounding such content.
This isn’t the first time celebrity pairings have been forged with AI. As deepfake tools become more accessible, fan-edited videos simulating romantic moments between actors have grown alarmingly common ranging from innocent hugs to full-on fabricated bed scenes. Often created from existing footage, these edits can mislead viewers and violate artists’ rights, privacy, and public image.
The Park Seo Joon–Kim Da Mi incident exemplifies the darker side of AI when left unchecked. In an era where digital forgeries can be generated with a few clicks, celebrities, especially actors, are increasingly vulnerable to being misrepresented or exploited by overly zealous fans.
