Singer Sung Si-kyung has embarked on a new challenge through the YouTube content 'Kkumilteunde,' but he has expressed his distress over unexpected harsh criticism and malicious comments about the staff.

On the 18th, Sung Si-kyung shared his honest feelings about the responses to his recent YouTube content via his social media, stating, "Tomorrow is Kkutennal." He remarked, "I was surprised that it even made headlines. I heard that the well-performing YouTube went a bit off track," adding humorously, "It's not like I suddenly decided to become a super stylish sexy guy fashionista. I can't be one, anyway."

He continued, "I intended it as a way for a fashion-ignorant man in his 40s to learn step by step with some help, but perhaps because expectations were high, there have been many bad comments suggesting to change the staff, and it upsets me." He expressed his disappointment regarding the negative comments, stating, "Just like a pumpkin won't become a watermelon by simply drawing lines on it, my intention was to learn how to draw lines... If we need to change staff to become more stylish, then I would rather not be stylish at all."

He particularly expressed deep regret over the negative comments directed at the staff. "It's not the stylist or the hair that's the issue, but rather my difficult face and hair to work with. While support is appreciated, I hope people won't insult the staff," he lamented, adding, "I'm very sorry, and my heart feels heavy."

Finally, Sung Si-kyung said, "You know that I won't easily give up what I've started, right? I'll learn step by step, so please support me," adding his determination regarding the changes.

On the 23rd of last month, Sung Si-kyung released the first video of 'Kkumilteunde' on his YouTube channel. Departing from his previously unembellished style, he aims to find his own 'fashion routine,' announcing that he would personally go shopping, change his hairstyle, take care of his nails, and experience a spa, all while he previously did not apply lotion or buy clothes.

However, reactions to his showcased style changes have been that they are not as significant as expected, with some viewers expressing disappointment, stating, "It's disappointing" and "It's more ordinary than expected." Eventually, some left malicious comments aimed at the stylist, causing the controversy to escalate.

Sung Si-kyung is a popular creator with 2.12 million subscribers through YouTube content such as 'Meogeulteunde,' 'Mannalteunde,' and has been loved for his sincere and modest charm. The attention now turns to what new appearance he will showcase as he starts another challenge with 'Kkumilteunde' after overcoming harsh criticisms.
