Singer and actress Suzy has found herself at the center of an unexpected marriage rumor, prompting her agency’s CEO to step in personally.
On the 28th, Kim Jang-kyun, CEO of Management SOOP, posted a stern message on his personal account, stating, “If you get caught spreading baseless rumors, you’ll be in trouble.”
Earlier that day, a post appeared on an online café claiming that Suzy was set to marry the CEO of a certain company. The post even suggested that an official announcement would be made soon. The rumor quickly spread across online communities. As speculation intensified, CEO Kim issued his warning to put a stop to the rapidly spreading gossip.
Fans and netizens alike expressed outrage, commenting, “Shouldn’t they be sued for this?”, “It was written so confidently—unbelievable,” “Who started this rumor?”, “It’s spreading everywhere,” “This is malicious, please sue them,” and “It’s relentless—stop spreading these rumors.”
Back in 2018, similar marriage rumors about actors Gong Yoo and Jung Yu-mi circulated widely on online communities and social media. At the time, Management SOOP, which represented both stars, firmly stated, “All information regarding the two is completely false,” and warned, “We will respond strongly without any settlement or leniency to anyone who further spreads or reproduces these rumors.”
Even then, CEO Kim took to his personal account right after the official statement, writing, “Let’s meet face to face soon…” making it clear he would take strong action against those spreading false information.
