Fans were left completely stunned on August 7, KST, when a set of wedding photos featuring actress Kim Seul Gi and HIGHLIGHT member Yoon Doo Joon started circulating on social media. The pictures showed the two dressed in full wedding attire, looking like a happy couple ready to tie the knot. The post even included a wedding date, August 17, 2025 which made fans believe the couple was making a surprise announcement. Comments poured in, with many congratulating the stars and expressing their surprise.
Meanwhile, the caption of the post made it even more believable which read, “Wedding D-10. We first met 10 years ago, and now we’re ready to walk the days ahead together. Please cheer us on as we take our first steps as a couple.” However, the truth behind the post was soon revealed and it wasn’t a real wedding. As it turns out, the viral post was part of a creative promotional campaign for their upcoming Kdrama The Catstody War, under tvN’s O’PENing 2025 series. The show is scheduled to premiere on August 17 at 9:20 PM KST.
In the Kdrama, Kim Seul Gi and Yoon Doo Joon play a couple who are on the verge of divorce. But instead of fighting over money or property, they’re locked in a hilarious and emotional custody battle over their beloved pet cat. The storyline promises both laughter and touching moments as the couple tries to prove who deserves to keep the furry companion. The unusual marketing tactic definitely worked as fans were caught off guard.
The internet was buzzing with reactions. Some were amused, while others admitted they were completely fooled. One user commented, “In another life,” hinting at how real the announcement felt. Another wrote, “I literally thought it was a wedding announcement,” showing just how convincing the campaign was. Although some viewers felt misled at first, many praised the drama’s team for pulling off such a bold and creative promotional stunt. The surprising twist has only raised curiosity and excitement for the drama’s release.
