Singer Sook Haeng's future activities have become uncertain amidst allegations of being a third party in an affair.

On MBN's 'Current Singer King 3' broadcast on the 30th, Sook Haeng's stage was entirely edited out. Previously, in 'Current Singer King 3,' which first aired on the 23rd, Sook Haeng had shown a confident performance, but she was nowhere to be found in this broadcast.

Instead, Sook Haeng appeared only in short reactions, about one second long, such as 'Guys, we need to do well. The expectations are no joke,' and 'It's spicier than capsaicin.'

Later, on the 31st, the production team of 'Current Singer King 3' stated, "We plan to completely edit out Sook Haeng's solo performances in the future," adding, "However, since it is a competition, there are stages intertwined with other contestants, so we will minimize editing those parts to ensure other contestants are not disadvantaged."

Earlier on the 29th, JTBC's 'Incident Commander' reported that a famous trot singer had been sued in an affair lawsuit. The apartment CCTV footage, released by the reporting wife, contained shocking scenes of a man and a woman engaging in intense physical contact, including kissing.

'Incident Commander' revealed about the identity of this female singer, "She broke out of a long period of obscurity by placing within the top 10 in a trot competition in 2019 and is currently appearing in other singing competitions." It added, "We expect the individual concerned to make a statement immediately after the broadcast. Therefore, we will not explicitly reveal her name first."

After the broadcast, suspicions spread that the female singer in question was Sook Haeng. Comments questioning the truth or criticizing her flooded Sook Haeng's SNS, to which Sook Haeng blocked the comment function.

Ultimately, Sook Haeng posted an apology on her account on the 30th. She stated, "I sincerely apologize for causing concern due to recent personal matters," and "I will withdraw from the program I was appearing in to prevent further damage to the program." She then bowed her head, adding, "I once again deeply apologize for causing harm to my colleagues and the production team who are doing their best in the competition because of this incident."

Regarding the allegations of being a third party, she refrained from further comment, stating, "All factual matters will be clarified through future legal procedures," and "The indiscriminate spread of unconfirmed facts can cause irreparable damage to me, my family, and the program I participated in, so I respectfully ask for restraint from excessive and unnecessary reporting."

Consequently, Sook Haeng appeared only in reactions on 'Current Singer King 3,' effectively undergoing the process of withdrawal due to complete editing out. She was also appearing in JTBC's 'Only Mouth Alive,' which first aired in September, but the production team stated, "She is currently not appearing in 'Only Mouth Alive,' and there are no plans for re-broadcasting past appearances."

With Sook Haeng suffering fatal damage to her image, including the release of videos alleging an affair, her future broadcasting activities are also not expected to be easy.
