[All] A married man reveals his stance on the controversy surrounding Sook Haeng's affair! Miss Trot, Current King of Singers 3, private life, adultery, and confessions.
I'm sure you've all seen articles and videos related to the recent controversy over Sook-haeng's affair. Following JTBC's "Case Manager" report, online conversations have been as if the matter has already been resolved. However, looking at the flow of events since the married man's statement, there are certainly points that can be easily overlooked. Let's calmly analyze this controversy, focusing on the facts, responsibility, and legal issues, rather than mere gossip.
1. How did the controversy over Sook Haeng's affair begin?
The starting point of this controversy was the JTBC Incident Report. A woman in her 40s filed a lawsuit for adultery, claiming that her husband had an affair with a famous female trot singer and even lived with her.
The CCTV footage of skinship in an apartment elevator and hallway was released, causing a stir.
Immediately after the report, speculations quickly spread that the female singer was Sook Haeng, and although her real name was not mentioned, public opinion shifted sharply as she was identified as a specific person based on the circumstances.
From this point on, many people say that the controversy has moved from suspicion to the stage of labeling a specific person.
2. Married man A reveals his position: The key is his "cohabiting wife."
As the controversy grew, married man A personally expressed his position through his YouTube channel. He admitted that he was a businessman born in 1979 and that he met Sook-haeng.
The biggest issue, the 'cohabitation suspicion', was clearly denied.
Mr. A was already separated from his wife, and explained that while Sook-haeng had visited his home while he lived alone, they had never lived together. He also claimed that the CCTV footage showed an exaggerated depiction of their frequent interactions.
He also explained to Sook-haeng that “the marriage has effectively broken down and the divorce proceedings are almost finalized.”
Sook-haeng also revealed that he came to believe this.
3. The position of the Sook-haeng side: the claim that they were "deceived."
The Sook-haeng side, through their official position, made the point that they were deceived by the other man. Person A said, “The divorce agreement and property settlement have been finalized,” and believed this to be true, so they started dating.
The explanation is that after realizing that it was not true, they immediately ended the relationship.
Sook-haeng apologized to the public for causing concern through a handwritten apology,
We have made it clear that we will reveal all facts through legal procedures.
This is interpreted to mean that we will respond by separating moral responsibility and legal judgment.
4. Departure from the broadcast and the direction of public opinion
Immediately after the controversy, Sook-haeng left MBN's 'King of Singers 3', where he was appearing.
The production team also announced that they would edit out the entirety of Sook-haeng's scenes.
Even before the facts were legally established, broadcasting activities were dealt an immediate blow.
In this process, there were opinions that “excessive responsibility was imposed first because he was a public official.”
There are mixed reactions to the statement that “moral responsibility cannot be avoided.”
This is also the reason why public opinion does not easily subside even after the married man's position is revealed.
5. Remaining Key Issues and Points to Watch for in the Future
The core of the current controversy can be broadly summarized into three points.
First, whether or not there is actual cohabitation. Second, to what extent was Sook-haeng aware that the marriage was breaking down? Third, the legal judgment result of the lawsuit.
All of these issues will ultimately have to be resolved through legal procedures, not public opinion. At this stage, there's not much we can say for sure, and there's a clear risk that hasty conclusions could lead to further harm.
