Between the initial confirmation in April and the July delivery, the couple stayed largely out of the spotlight, with one major exception that ignited intense public debate regarding where the birth would take place.
On June 21, 2026, Korean media outlet Star News Korea published photographs of Tang and Kim arriving together at Hong Kong International Airport. Observers noted Kim's attentive presence, carrying the bulk of the luggage while guiding Tang through transit areas. The appearance sparked widespread speculation about whether Tang would give birth in Seoul or opt for medical facilities in Hong Kong, where she holds permanent residency.
