[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Jeong-ho] Singer Sung Si-kyung mentioned the reason why he could not get verification on social networking services (SNS).

On the afternoon of the 25th, singer BoA and Sung Si-kyung, who are celebrating their 20th debut anniversary, appeared on JTBC's entertainment program 'Knowing Bros'.

On this day, Sung Si-kyung revealed a recent frustrating experience during the "Guess Me" segment. He said, "I started SNS last year. I’m not good at showing my life or taking selfies, so I deliberately didn’t do it," adding, "After starting SNS, I only posted cooking every day, and I hoped my followers would increase, but the number didn’t go up."

He continued, "So I wanted to get the blue verification badge for Sung Si-kyung SNS. I was supposed to send my passport photo to the headquarters, but I tried 10 times and they didn’t verify me," recalling the time.

Sung Si-kyung revealed, "One day, I received a direct message from the SNS Korean branch proposing a home concert. I wondered why they contacted me without verification. That person checked with the headquarters and said they thought I was a cooking person. They immediately gave the OK and gave me the badge," sharing the misunderstanding.

Furthermore, Sung Si-kyung expressed his interest in cooking. He said, "I have done cooking programs for a long time and tried all the delicious things at home. Since I started SNS, I kept posting cooking content and the response was good. I wanted to do better. Cooking is fun," then shared muffins he baked at home with the brothers.

Meanwhile, Knowing Bros airs every Saturday at 9 PM.
