With the air date of the new K-Drama, "My Dearest Nemesis," rapidly approaching, a photo of two of the top leads, Moon Ga Young and Choi Hyun Wook, went viral among fans recently.

A four-cut photo, one of which is of the couple kissing, was reportedly leaked online without permission from the production team. The photos are from a promotional poster for the drama that would air on February 17 at 8:50 PM.

In the leaked photo, Moon Ga Young and Choi Hyun Wook wear matching black outfits and show the chemistry of the couple by doing poses. In particular, a shot of the two actors kissing has turned quite a few heads.

The leak went viral when a fan reportedly found the photos in Sinchon and uploaded them online alongside a poster with the title of the drama and premiere date.

It sparked speculation that the images were a deliberate publicity stunt for the show.

"Moon Ga Young, Choi Hyun Wook, and My Dearest Nemesis four-cut photo in Sinchon!! Can they be this cute?! The chemistry is phenomenal between them. I'm so excited!" The netizen who shared the photos said.

However, the agency that represents both of the actors immediately shot down any assertions of an intentional leak.

They vented their frustration about the unsanctioned sale of the images on January 15.

"We did not distribute an event promotional poster. Which the photo booth people had uploaded. Sure enough, it is leaked and as much as we are not able to elaborate, it is within the contents of what is broadcast," a production team official stated.

"My Dearest Nemesis," adapted from a hit Naver webtoon, centers on a team leader named Baek Soo Jung (Moon Ga Young) who is facing her demons, as well as Ban Ju Yeon (Choi Hyun Wook), a chaebol heir struggling with his darkest thoughts.

Fans can only wait to see how the story would continue after the bizarre leak as excitement rises over the release of the drama.
