Sung Si-kyung Reflects on Kiss Scene with Jo Yeo-jeong and Overcoming Managerial Betrayal

Singer Sung Si-kyung recently opened up about his memorable kiss scene with actress Jo Yeo-jeong.

On the January 14th broadcast of SBS's 'Seol Special Concert Sung Si-kyung,' the two reminisced about their past collaboration in a music video that featured multiple kiss scenes.

The 'Seol Special Concert Sung Si-kyung' is a televised version of the 'Concert Sung Si-kyung,' which took place from December 25 to 28 last year, celebrating his 25th anniversary in the music industry.

Jo Yeo-jeong appeared in the music video for Sung Si-kyung's song 'I Like You,' where they filmed over ten kiss scenes. Reflecting on the experience, Jo shared, "I was thrilled to be offered the role. It felt like shooting a short romantic film. I'm glad we did it while we were young and beautiful. Sung felt the same way."

Jo expressed her initial concerns, saying, "I was fine with it, but I wondered if Sung would be comfortable. However, he handled it effortlessly." Sung added, "I'm really glad it was with Jo Yeo-jeong. Looking back, it was a great experience."

Sung also humorously noted, "I was grateful Jo participated. Her face is so small that even a slight movement felt like kissing a fist."

In November last year, Sung faced a personal setback when it was revealed that he suffered financial losses due to his long-time manager's misconduct. His agency, SK Jaewon, stated, "Sung's former manager betrayed the company's trust during his tenure. We are assessing the full extent of the damage, and the employee has since left the company."

The incident left Sung shaken, prompting him to question his ability to perform at year-end concerts. He candidly shared on Instagram, "I'm constantly asking myself if I can or should stand on stage in this situation."

Sung Si-kyung debuted in 2000 and is celebrating his 25th anniversary this year.
