• First-instance judgment announced on September 17... Activities suspended amid legal response

Trot singer Sukhaeng faces the first-instance judgment announcement of her adultery lawsuit one year after the controversy involving a married man.

The Seongnam Branch of the Suwon District Court's Civil Division 7 will hold the judgment announcement session on September 17 in the lawsuit filed by A, the wife of the married man entangled in adultery allegations against Sukhaeng, seeking compensation for infidelity. Previously, this lawsuit gained attention when A claimed on December 29, 2025, during a broadcast of JTBC's 'Case Master' that her husband had an affair with Sukhaeng, left home, and was cohabiting with her.

After the complaint was filed in September 2025, Sukhaeng maintained a stance of non-response for over three months. When the court notified that it would proceed to judgment without further debate, she late appointed legal representation and submitted a power of attorney to the court, leading to the cancellation of the original judgment announcement session. Subsequently, a total of three debates were held, concluding with the final debate on the 20th.

At that time, 'Case Master' revealed CCTV footage showing a woman believed to be Sukhaeng engaging in intimate physical contact with a married man, including hugging, kissing, and holding hands while embracing. A stated at the time: "He told me they were just friends and threatened to sue through my agency if I kept contacting him, but it turned out they were living together. When they were together, they hugged and kissed. Before sending a formal notice, I gave them one last chance. When I said, 'Give back my husband,' he replied, 'I didn't even take him away, so why are you doing this?' and told me not to contact him anymore."

Later, Sukhaeng said, "I have nothing to say, but I am also a victim. If I were an ordinary person, it wouldn't matter," adding, "I am terribly sorry. I have lost everything. My livelihood cannot be cut off. I must take care of my parents." She further expressed, "As a celebrity who has lost so much, I truly feel like a fool. Won't both of you suffer if I die? Shouldn't I attack the husband instead?" appealing with tears in her eyes.

Sukhaeng explained, "I was informed that the other party's marriage had broken down before we began dating. He also mentioned plans to marry once legal matters were resolved." She added, "I ended the relationship upon learning that the divorce was not mutually agreed upon." Eventually, Sukhaeng stated she would clarify the facts through legal procedures. She also apologized sincerely for causing concern due to recent personal issues and withdrew from her current TV program appearances.

Subsequently, Sukhaeng appeared without editing in the third round of competition for the finals of MBN's 'Active King 3,' which aired on January 20. While no solo shots were captured, her voice was broadcast as usual, and she appeared unfiltered in group shots.

Meanwhile, man B identified as the adulterous partner also made statements defending Sukhaeng via his YouTube channel 'Entertainment Backstabber Lee Jin-ho.' He explained that he was introduced to Sukhaeng in 2024 and has been building a friendship since last year. In particular, B stated, "Sukhaeng was afraid (of the fact that I am married) and repeatedly asked me whether ending our marital relationship was right." Additionally, B claimed he persuaded Sukhaeng that they were separated on the premise of divorce and that everything had already been resolved, denying any cohabitation with her. He further said, "You might have thought we divorced since only paperwork remained unfinished. Ultimately, you believed my words." He also revealed, "I wish Sukhaeng would shift all responsibility to me. If there are financial damages, I will compensate in some way. It pains me to think she must be suffering so much right now."
