Singer Sung Si-kyung has revealed his complex feelings via social media following reports that he suffered financial damages from his former manager of over 10 years.

In a post on his SNS on the 3rd, Sung Si-kyung began by saying, "So many things have happened this year. I first want to apologize to those who may feel uncomfortable due to my news."

He confessed that the recent situation has been "a series of truly distressing and difficult times." He expressed a deep sense of loss, stating, "Experiencing broken trust from someone I believed in, cherished, and thought of like family is not easy, even at my age."
