Singer Sung Si-kyung took the stage at the 2025 Incheon Airport Sky Festival on Sunday, telling fans he was fine despite recent news that a longtime manager had caused him financial harm.<\/p>\n
Performing at Inspire Resort in Yeongjongdo, Incheon, Sung said, \u201cI know you\u2019ve seen the reports, but I\u2019m okay. I came here in good spirits to sing, so I hope you enjoy the show.\u201d<\/p>\n
He added that some people seemed unsure whether he would appear. \u201cMaybe there was an option that I wouldn\u2019t come today. \u2018What if he doesn\u2019t show up?\u2019 That almost never happens. A promise is a promise, and I have never canceled a performance.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sung also said the support he receives from audiences matters just as much as what he gives. \u201cThis isn\u2019t empty talk. Energy goes both ways. I didn\u2019t come here only to give something to you. I came to receive something too.\u201d<\/p>\n
He thanked the crowd warmly, saying, \u201cSinging and breathing together with you comforts me,\u201d before ending with a remark that drew applause. \u201cThe most useless thing is worrying about celebrities. I\u2019ll be fine.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sung recently learned that he had suffered financial losses due to misconduct by a manager who had worked with him for more than ten years. His agency, SK Jaewon, said the former manager \u201cengaged in actions that betrayed the company\u2019s trust\u201d and that it is identifying the exact scope of the damage.<\/p>\n
Following the incident, Sung paused activity on his personal YouTube channel, and several videos featuring the manager have been deleted or blurred.<\/p>\n
