Regarding the matter, a police official stated, “Sung Si-kyung’s agency, SK Jaewon, did not wish to pursue punishment, and since the third-party complainant did not fully understand the details of the case, it became difficult to continue the investigation. Therefore, we concluded with a decision not to refer the case for prosecution.”
Person A expressed distress, revealing that they had suffered financial harm caused by Sung Si-kyung’s former manager, who had worked with him for more than 10 years.
At the time, SK Jaewon stated, “It has been confirmed that Sung Si-kyung’s former manager engaged in conduct that betrayed the company’s trust during his tenure.” According to the agency, Manager A, who had long been responsible for handling key administrative duties related to Sung Si-kyung, recently caused work-related problems that resulted in financial damage to Sung Si-kyung as well as to external vendors and other related parties.
The agency added, “Following an internal investigation, we recognized the seriousness of the matter and are currently confirming the exact scope of the damages. We acknowledge our responsibility in oversight and management, and we are reorganizing our internal control systems to prevent similar incidents from recurring.”
Although the specific amount of financial damage was not disclosed, it is understood to be significant. The agency further stated that it could not reveal the exact method through which the former manager caused the financial losses.
