Jung Ji-woo, the older sister of BTS's J-Hope, has recently addressed and shut down rumors circulating online regarding her pregnancy. As a prominent YouTuber, businesswoman, and fashion influencer, Jung Ji-woo has been the subject of increased public attention, leading to invasive questions about her personal life.

On August 4, 2025, Jung Ji-woo took to Instagram to express her frustration with the incessant speculation surrounding her marital life and family plans. She specifically called out a netizen who made a harsh comment about a supposed pregnancy. The commenter had questioned, "Aren't you pregnant? Or did you lose the baby? There is no bump, and you are wearing tight clothes and exercising,". This prompted Jung Ji-woo to respond, expressing her shock and dismay at the personal and inappropriate nature of the question, especially from someone she doesn't even know.

Jung Ji-woo clarified that while she and her partner are trying for a baby, there is no news to share yet. She also refuted claims that she had ever announced a pregnancy or suffered a miscarriage. Addressing the rumors, she stated, "I've been ignoring it 'cause it's so far from the truth, but it's getting out of hand. Show some respect, please". She also sarcastically added that she is fragile and that her sensitive fans can't just laugh it off.

This isn't the first time Jung Ji-woo has had to address such personal questions. Previously, she had requested that people refrain from asking about pregnancy, stating that she would share any good news herself when the time came. She has also spoken about the stress and pressure that such recurring questions place on her and her family.

The incident has sparked outrage among fans and netizens, who have criticized the invasive nature of the questions and defended Jung Ji-woo's right to privacy. Many have expressed their shock and disappointment at the lack of boundaries displayed by some individuals online, with some calling the behavior "disgusting" and "shameful". Fans have rallied to support her, with many praising her for standing up against cyberbullying.

Jung Ji-woo married in May 2021 and has managed to keep her husband out of the public eye. Besides being known as J-Hope's sister, she has built a successful career as a CEO, influencer, and entrepreneur. She runs multiple businesses, including a fashion brand, an online shopping platform, and an eyewear brand. In March 2025, she appeared on the MBC show 'I Live Alone,' which further highlighted her achievements and close relationship with her brother. During the show, it was revealed that she had studied abroad and is fluent in English.

This situation highlights the broader issue of privacy invasion faced by celebrities and their families. The constant scrutiny and pressure to share personal information can be exhausting and emotionally draining. Jung Ji-woo's experience serves as a reminder to respect boundaries and focus on her accomplishments rather than engaging in baseless speculation. It also underscores the need for greater awareness and sensitivity when interacting with public figures online.
