This male idol’s private life is now under public scrutiny
On February 19th, Sinchew reported that UNIQ’s Kim Sung Joo sparked controversy with suspicions of secretly getting married and having a child while keeping it hidden. These suspicions arose following an incident during Kim Sung Joo’s livestream.
Kim Sung Joo eagerly played a voice message from fellow UNIQ member Li Wenhan, wishing him a happy birthday, without listening to it beforehand. In the message, Li Wenhan, besides singing happy birthday to Kim Sung Joo, unintentionally Kim Sung Joo’s secret by saying: “Has your son gone to bed? If not, call on video and let him come hug me.”
Upon hearing Li Wenhan’s words, Kim Sung Joo abruptly wiped the smile off his face, without saying a word, and ended the livestream with an awkward expression.
Numerous netizens flooded Kim Sung Joo’s personal account with questions about whether he had secretly married and become a father, but the idol remained silent.
Immediately, netizens revisited the videos recently posted by Kim Sung Joo. They spotted children’s toys in his house, even catching snippets of a woman’s voice. On social media, netizens dubbed Kim Sung Joo “Wu Chun 2.0” – someone who also kept marriage and parenthood under wraps to maintain the image of a single idol for fangirls.
Despite the widespread speculation across various social media platforms and forums, UNIQ’s company, Yuehua, refrained from commenting on Kim Sung Joo’s personal life.
Kim Sung Joo, born in 1994, is a member of the Chinese-Korean idol group UNIQ, alongside Wang Yibo, Zhou Yixuan, Li Wenhan, and Cho Seungyoun (Woodz).
In 2018, Kim Sung Joo was rumored by an entertainment blogger to have secretly tied the knot. However, since the blogger failed to provide evidence at the time, the rumor was soon forgotten.
