Singer Sung Si-kyung has been revealed to have suffered financial damage caused by his former manager, who had worked with him for over 10 years. Sung Si-kyung had built deep trust with this individual, even covering the entire cost of the manager's wedding in the past. This betrayal has caused a great shock among fans and the public.

Sung Si-kyung's agency SK Jaewon announced, "It has been confirmed that Sung Si-kyung's former manager betrayed the company's trust during the course of his duties while employed." The extent of the damage is currently being investigated, and the employee has already resigned.

According to Spotv News on the 4th, Sung Si-kyung spared no expense in supporting the manager throughout the wedding preparations. It is reported that he did not want this matter to be made public. Through his personal account, Sung Si-kyung shared his feelings, saying, "So many things have happened this year. I first want to apologize and express my regret to those who felt uncomfortable because of the news about me." He confessed, "The past few months have been a series of truly painful and hard-to-endure times."

Sung Si-kyung opened up, saying, "It's not the first time I've experienced broken trust from someone I trusted, cared for, and thought of like family, but even at this age, it's not an easy thing." He added, "I tried to maintain my daily life and act like I was okay because I didn't want to cause worry or fall apart in front of others, but I realized that both my body and mind have been deeply hurt."

Lee Jin-ho explained on his YouTube channel "Entertainment President Lee Jin-ho," "Sung Si-kyung's former manager, Mr. K, was a key figure who held the title of director at the company." He added, "Sung Si-kyung personally covered all the costs of Mr. K's wedding and cared for him like a younger brother." It is known that Mr. K established a separate entertainment company under his wife's name and simultaneously managed a famous announcer. Sung Si-kyung's side was aware of this and trusted him enough to allow dual employment.

Recently, Mr. K was spotted living a lavish lifestyle wearing expensive luxury goods, and industry insiders reportedly issued multiple warnings to "be cautious." Lee Jin-ho said, "There were warnings from those around him that 'this person is dangerous,' but Sung Si-kyung believed him until the end."

Sung Si-kyung is reported to have suffered both mental and financial damage from this incident. He is currently taking a break from activities to recover his mind and body, and close acquaintances say he is "mentally broken." Through social media, Sung Si-kyung stated, "At this age, such things are not easy. It has been a series of painful and hard-to-endure times." He added, "I want to reach a state where I can confidently say 'I'm okay,' both mentally and physically."

SK Jaewon stated, "The internal investigation recognized the seriousness of the matter, and we are currently confirming the exact scope of the damage." Fans have expressed sympathy for Sung Si-kyung's feelings and sent messages of support.

Sung Si-kyung has also temporarily suspended his activities on the YouTube channel "I was going to eat," posting a notice saying, "I will take a break just for this week. I'm sorry." Fans responded with comments such as, "It's so shocking that he even supported the wedding," "I wonder how deep the betrayal Sung Si-kyung felt must be," "It hurts more to be hurt by someone you trusted," and "I hope he recovers well."

This incident is expected to have a significant impact on Sung Si-kyung's career and personal relationships. Sung Si-kyung is continuing to contemplate his future activities, and fans and the public are wishing for his recovery.
