Images claiming to be from the wedding shoot of South Korean Girls’ Generation group member Tiffany Young and actor Byun Yo-han spread rapidly online – before being confirmed as artificial intelligence-generated fakes.
Soon after Young, 36, and Byun, 39, announced they had registered their marriage, photos reportedly of couple began circulating across social media and online communities under the title “Tiffany–Byun Yo-han wedding photos”.
The images depicted Young in a pink-toned wedding dress and Byun in a pink suit, posing with Girls’ Generation members as if in an official wedding shoot.

The initial comments were positive, ranging from “it’s heartwarming to see all Girls’ Generation members gathered” to “the harmonious atmosphere is well conveyed”, the Chosun Daily reported.
However, others questioned whether they were AI composites, noting the awkward styling and poses. One of the photos featured Jessica Jung, who left the group in September 2014, raising further suspicions of manipulation.
