[THE FACT|Reporter Kang Il-hong] Singer Sook Haeng, who suspended her activities due to allegations of an affair, will return to the stage. She will meet her fans through her own concert before making a broadcast comeback. Notably, with the first-instance verdict in the lawsuit for alimony filed by the alleged mistress scheduled for the 17th, the news of her concert resumption has drawn attention to her future endeavors.

Sook Haeng will hold a performance titled 'A Special Time with Fans, Singing Again' on September 30th at Arte Seoul Muse Hall in Mokdong, Seoul. This is an opportunity for Sook Haeng, who has effectively paused her activities since the controversy, to directly face her fans.

Ahead of this performance, Sook Haeng is known to have conveyed her intention, "I will greet you with songs rather than words. I am returning to the stage with the same heart I had when I first started singing." This is interpreted as her intention to take the first step in resuming her activities by first greeting fans at close range through song, rather than a grand broadcast comeback.

Sook Haeng withdrew from MBN's 'Hyunyeok GaWang 3', which she was appearing in, in December last year after allegations of an inappropriate relationship with a married man surfaced through JTBC's 'Saeon Ban-jang'. At the time, Sook Haeng apologized for causing concern with personal matters and stated her intention to withdraw from the program, adding that the facts would be revealed through legal proceedings.

Separately, the first-instance verdict in the alimony lawsuit filed against Sook Haeng by the alleged mistress is scheduled to be delivered on the 17th at the Seongnam Branch of the Suwon District Court. The plaintiff, identified as Ms. A, claimed damages, alleging that Sook Haeng's inappropriate relationship with her husband damaged their marital relationship. In contrast, Sook Haeng's side argued that she believed the man was already separated and preparing for divorce at the time of their relationship, and that she ended the relationship upon learning that this was not true.

The court's decision and the resumption of entertainment activities are separate matters. This performance is significant in that it is not an official comeback through a broadcasting station, but rather an event organized by Sook Haeng herself for her fans.

Attention is focused on how Sook Haeng, who will be performing on a stage under her own name for the first time since the controversy, will greet her fans through the performance titled 'Singing Again'. It remains to be seen whether the September 30th stage will be the first signal flare announcing Sook Haeng's return to activities.
