Sung Si-kyung's Generous Gesture and Warm Seniority Shine on 'Slightly Tipsy Friend'

Singer Sung Si-kyung has captured attention by displaying a magnanimous heart amidst recent personal struggles.

In the YouTube channel 'Slightly Tipsy Friend' episode released on the 24th, featuring hosts Jo Se-ho and Nam Chang-hee, Sung Si-kyung made a surprise guest appearance, delighting the studio. Upon arrival, he presented Jo Se-ho with a congratulatory envelope, joking, 'I couldn't make it to the wedding due to a schedule in Ulsan. Don't open it. I put in only a little bit,' sharing warm wishes.

Shin Dong-yeop revealed the behind-the-scenes story, saying, 'I was the MC for an event yesterday, and Si-kyung was the last performer. Afterwards, we had a drink and talked about today's filming, and he said he'd come if he had time.' When Jo Se-ho asked, 'Did you come after having a drink today too?', Sung Si-kyung wittily replied, 'I've been having a drink my whole life.'

He continued, 'I was sorry I couldn't attend the wedding. Also, I haven't had a drink with Chang-hee,' before playfully adding, 'Se-ho has a worse reputation than Chang-hee. He's a bit opportunistic,' eliciting laughter.

Sung Si-kyung also shared a moment of loneliness, confessing, 'A neon-colored fly entered my house recently, and because I was lonely, I liked it. I named it France. It dried up and died after a week.'

The conversation also touched upon the culture of seniors paying for drinks. When Jo Se-ho joked to Jeong Ho-cheol, 'Are you paying today?', Sung Si-kyung admonished, 'Don't ask your juniors to pay for drinks.' He emphasized, 'How much did you receive from your seniors? Now it's time to spend on your juniors.' Ultimately, Sung Si-kyung agreed to pay for the drinks, and during the second round, Jo Se-ho handed Jeong Ho-cheol 100,000 won as pocket money, continuing the heartwarming atmosphere.

Meanwhile, it was recently revealed that Sung Si-kyung suffered financial damages from his former manager of over 10 years, who allegedly did not return profits from reselling VIP concert tickets.

Netizens watching the broadcast commented, 'As expected of Sung Si-kyung! Cool and admirable,' 'I felt touched by his confession of loneliness, but also burst out laughing,' and 'It's great to see him giving advice as a senior. Let's shower Sung Si-kyung with support!'
