AI-Generated Images Shared on Instagram

The AI-generated images were posted on Instagram, where they circulated in a context that could lead viewers to believe the images were genuine photographs. Media coverage of the postings served to clarify the circumstances under which the images appeared, according to the research materials accompanying the claim.

Yoona, a member of Girls' Generation, is not married. No pregnancy announcement has been made by the singer or her agency in connection with the images.

Distinction Between AI Images and Real Photographs

The images were produced with AI image-generation tools, which can create photorealistic depictions of public figures that do not correspond to actual events. The spread of such images on social media platforms has become a recurring issue for celebrities, whose likenesses can be reproduced without their involvement.

In this case, the key fact at issue — whether the pregnancy images were real photographs or AI creations — is resolved by the latter: the images are AI-generated. Media reports covering the Instagram postings provided the context in which the images appeared.

The claim that Yoona, who is unmarried, was depicted in AI-generated 'pregnancy photos' is true.
