Amid the rumors of singer and actress Suzy's marriage circulating within the securities industry, the agency's representative stepped forward to clarify the situation.
On the 28th, an unexpected rumor about Suzy's marriage emerged. The rumor, originating from the securities industry, claimed that Suzy was about to marry Kim Byung-hoon, the head of the cosmetics industry's top company by market capitalization. This quickly spread among those in the entertainment industry, and OSEN also moved to confirm the information. It was not true.
Kim Byung-hoon, born in 1988, is reported to have founded APRILSKIN (now APR) while studying at Yonsei University's Business Administration department in 2014. Since then, he has expanded his business into areas such as health food brands and fashion brands, currently holding the top position in the cosmetics industry by market capitalization.
As of the 21st, APR's market capitalization was approximately 8.1599 trillion won, and it was reported that Kim Byung-hoon holds about 2.5 trillion won.
Agency representatives also laughed off the absurd marriage rumors. However, a post claiming that 'Suzy is about to marry Kim Byung-hoon' surfaced in an online cafe, quickly spreading across online communities.
Ultimately, Kim Jang-kyun, the head of the management company, stepped forward. On that afternoon, he stated through his Instagram account, "If you spread rumors and get caught, you will be scolded," emphasizing that it was mere gossip.
In 2018, when rumors of marriage circulated regarding the agency's actors Gong Yoo and Jeong Yu-mi, Kim Jang-kyun also actively responded by saying, "Let's meet face to face soon."
Meanwhile, Suzy is set to release the Netflix series 'Genie, Make A Wish' on October 3 and is currently filming for Disney+'s 'Illusion', which is scheduled for release in 2026.
