Singer Sung Si-kyung (47) has embarked on a visual transformation through his new YouTube content 'Kkumiltende' (hereafter 'Kkutenal'), but he expressed his displeasure at some viewers' harsh criticism and malicious comments directed at his staff.
On the 18th, Sung Si-kyung took to his social media to share his feelings of frustration ahead of 'Kkutenal', addressing the recent reactions that have surfaced online.
He stated, "I was surprised to see articles saying that my well-performing YouTube channel has stumbled," and added, "I'm not suddenly trying to become a sexy fashionista. That's not possible for me," showing a self-deprecating response.
He continued, "I'm just a clueless 40-something man learning with help, but I'm upset by the many malicious comments demanding a change of staff. If I have to change my staff to become stylish, then I'd rather not be stylish at all," he countered.
In particular, regarding the criticism directed at his stylist and hair team, he emphasized, "The difficulty in looking good is due to my face and hair," and added, "It's fine to support me, but please don't insult my staff. I feel very sorry and heavy-hearted about it."
He also mentioned, "I won't easily give up on this. I'll learn slowly, so please watch over me."
Previously, on the 23rd of last month, Sung Si-kyung released the first episode of 'Kkumiltende', starting a new fashion routine. He has received great love for his down-to-earth and casual daily life through content like 'Meokultende' and 'Manhatalende', but he has faced some disappointed reactions from fans regarding his lack of visual management.
This time, he has documented his personal styling challenges in the new content, but some viewers have expressed that the extent of the changes did not meet their expectations. Sung Si-kyung has openly shared his feelings of frustration and disappointment while actively protecting his staff, garnering positive responses.
