Former girlfriend of Kim Hyun-joong debuts as TikTok creator

Si-yu, who is raising the biological son of Kim Hyun-joong alone, has begun activities as a creator under the agency LIGHTNING CENTRAL. Following a 2020 Supreme Court ruling that Kim must pay her 100 million won, she held an SNS live broadcast to share updates on her son's life.

The former girlfriend of singer and actor Kim Hyun-joong has begun activities as a creator under the stage name Si-yu.

According to the TikTok live agency LIGHTNING CENTRAL on the 22nd, Si-yu is currently active as a creator belonging to the agency.

Si-yu dated Kim Hyun-joong for approximately three years starting in 2012, and gave birth to a son in September 2015. Following genetic testing, the child was confirmed to be Kim Hyun-joong's biological son, and Si-yu is currently raising him alone. Regarding a damages lawsuit, the Supreme Court of Korea ruled in 2020 that Kim Hyun-joong must pay Si-yu 100 million won. Kim Hyun-joong married a non-celebrity woman of the same age in 2022 and had another son that same year.

Regarding the legal dispute and relationship between Si-yu and Kim Hyun-joong, LIGHTNING CENTRAL stated, "It is all in the past," adding that "lawsuits for parental rights and custody have all been concluded."

After her debut as a creator was announced, Si-yu held an SNS live broadcast to share her daily life as a single mother and updates on her son. "I received so many messages today that I couldn't even eat," she said. "I am very busy in the morning. There is someone I have to take care of." Regarding her son, she said, "He studies well and is handsome. He serves as president and vice president at school. He is growing up well and diligently. When you ask like this, I have no choice but to brag."

Si-yu plans to present content themed around beauty and health by releasing various photos and videos on SNS.
