Trot singer Suk Haeng has faced legal consequences regarding allegations of infidelity. In September 2026, the Suwon District Court Seongnam Branch ruled in favor of a plaintiff in a civil lawsuit for damages. While Suk Haeng had previously argued she was a victim who believed the man’s marriage was already dissolving, the court partially accepted the plaintiff's claims.

By October 2026, the court ordered Suk Haeng to pay 30 million won in alimony. The ruling determined that she engaged in misconduct by dating and cohabitating with the man starting in January 2025. The court rejected her defense due to insufficient evidence.

Public scrutiny intensified following the release of CCTV footage showing intimate behavior between Suk Haeng and the man in an elevator. As the singer attempted to return to the public eye through a solo concert in Seoul, the man’s wife released further evidence, including text messages and audio recordings. These materials reportedly include messages where Suk Haeng told the wife to resolve her own marital issues. Although an audio recording exists of the singer apologizing and claiming she was a victim who believed the man was divorcing his spouse, public reaction remains largely critical.
