[TV Daily's Kim Ji-ha] A popular K-Pop male artist has come under scrutiny following reports of an offspring born out of wedlock. According to MHN Sports, singer A had a child with a former partner in the latter half of 2022. However, the legal recognition of this child remains unconfirmed. Sources indicate that the report contains information regarding the circumstances of the birth and the acknowledgment of paternity, but official confirmation about legal proceedings remains absent. Furthermore, while A has been providing a certain level of financial support for the upbringing, the specific amounts and criteria are still unclear. A family law expert has pointed out that such financial support alone does not absolve legal responsibilities, as the matter pertains to the child's legal status. Currently, there has been no official statement from A's camp.
