On the MBN show 'The King of Singers 3' aired on the 20th, Sookhaeng appeared as part of a team competing for a spot in the third round of the finals. Although her name was omitted during the team's introduction by the MC and she was excluded from the self-introduction scenes, her presence in group shots and her voice were not edited out. This was due to the team mission involving a mini-concert with five members. Despite announcing a hiatus from broadcasting activities three weeks ago in December, traces of Sookhaeng remain.
Previously, in December, Sookhaeng announced her voluntary departure from 'The King of Singers 3' amid an affair controversy. At the time, she stated, "All factual relationships will be clarified through legal procedures later," and requested, "Please refrain from excessive and unnecessary reporting, as the indiscriminate spread of unverified facts can cause irreparable harm to me, my family, and the programs I participated in."
Following this, the production team of 'The King of Singers 3' officially stated, "We plan to completely edit out Sookhaeng's solo performances," and added, "Since there are stages involving other participants, we will minimize editing in a way that does not disadvantage other participants."
