Singer Sung Si-kyung is facing a crisis. His agency has been omitted from the registration of the public cultural arts planning business for 14 years, causing disruptions to his activities.
Sung Si-kyung is currently operating a YouTube channel named after himself. Through various content such as 'I Will Eat', 'I Will Meet', and 'I Will Sing', he has garnered significant attention. His channel has reached 2.15 million subscribers, making it a well-performing YouTube channel.
Sung Si-kyung has been actively communicating with fans by posting 2-3 pieces of content each week. The content, which showcases his daily life through eating, cooking, and meeting, has become comfortable content for fans.
Even before this controversy arose, Sung Si-kyung had announced the release of three pieces of content on his YouTube channel. The last video posted on the 15th was 'I Will Eat', and typically, the second piece of content should be released on the 17th.
His one-man agency, SK Jae-won, has been confirmed to have not registered as a public cultural arts planning business since its establishment in February 2011. In response, the agency stated, "At the time the corporation was established in February 2011, there was no relevant law," and "After the law regarding registration was established, we did not receive any official documents. We are currently aware of this and have inquired about registering as a public cultural arts planning business."
Additionally, according to the police, the agency has been reported through the National Petition Center for violating the Public Cultural Arts Industry Development Act and is under investigation.
As this situation continues, there are reactions from fans demanding specific explanations or expressing disappointment regarding Sung Si-kyung's YouTube channel.
After over 20 years of entertainment activities without significant issues, Sung Si-kyung is now facing setbacks due to agency problems. Currently, his YouTube activities, which are known to be his main occupation, are facing a red light.
As the controversy continues, attention is focused on what actions Sung Si-kyung's side will take.
