Personal life Unregistered agency Sung's one-person agency, SK Jaewon (에스케이재원), was reported in September 2025 to have run management work for about 14 years without popular-culture planning-business registration. Coverage treated that as a possible offence under the Popular Culture and Arts Industry Development Act (up to two years' imprisonment or a ₩20 million fine). The firm was incorporated in February 2011; his sister is chief executive and he is its only artist. The agency said it had followed the law in force at incorporation, had not known that a 2014 statute added a registration duty, apologised, and said it would file. In December 2025 Yeongdeungpo Police sent his sister and the company to prosecutors without detention and did not send Sung, saying there was no objective evidence he had run the firm. SK Jaewon said it had received the registration certificate on 27 November 2025.
