Singer Sung Si-kyung has returned to YouTube after approximately two weeks, following revelations that he suffered financial damages from his manager of over 10 years. His appearance in a preview for the show 'Jjanhan-hyung' has sparked interest in what he will discuss with his close friend Shin Dong-yup.

A new video was uploaded to Sung Si-kyung's YouTube channel, 'Sung Si-kyung's Eating Well,' on the 10th. While sharing his usual calm daily life while dining at a restaurant in Apgujeong, Seoul, he greeted a new editing assistant with a bright smile, saying, "A new brother who edits has arrived. He says he'll show his skills from now on. Nice to meet you." Despite his cheerful demeanor, the lingering emotional toll from his recent absence was evident, evoking sympathy from viewers.

Sung Si-kyung's return marks his first video in about two weeks. Previously, he shocked many when it was revealed he had suffered financial losses due to a manager he had worked with for over a decade. His agency, SK Jaewon, confirmed that the former manager engaged in acts that betrayed trust during his employment and stated they are investigating the extent of the damages and have already processed his dismissal, with plans to reorganize internal systems.

Sung Si-kyung himself shared on his personal social media, "Being betrayed by someone I trusted and relied on was an unbearable experience. I was greatly hurt, both physically and mentally," directly addressing the reason for his hiatus. He had also posted a brief notice on the YouTube community on the 4th, stating, "I will be taking a break just for this week. I'm sorry."

Following this quiet return, Sung Si-kyung generated buzz again by appearing in the preview for the YouTube channel 'Jjanhan-hyung,' released on the 17th. The preview featured Sung Si-kyung alongside Shin Dong-yup, Jeong Ho-cheol, and Kim Jun-hyun, with particular anticipation building around his chemistry with Shin Dong-yup, a longtime friend.

Given the significant emotional distress he has recently experienced, attention is focused on whether Sung Si-kyung will open up about his feelings to Shin Dong-yup, his most comfortable friend.

Netizens expressed excitement for his return, commenting things like, "Finally, Sung Si-kyung is back! We missed you!" and "I'm so curious about what he'll talk about with Shin Dong-yup." Many also conveyed their support, saying, "It must have been tough, but thank you for showing a bright side on camera."
