As this information was suddenly revealed by insiders in the industry, Kim Joo Na's agency was suspected of intentionally leaking the info to promote the singer. However, her side denied that they released the info. Her label stated on July 22, "It's true that Kim Joo Na is Kim Soo Hyun's half-sister. The news came out so suddenly that we were caught offguard. Kim Joo Na hasn't debuted officially yet."

The rep added, "There was no intention to promote her with the news that she's Kim Soo Hyun's half-sister. We didn't try to hide the fact either, and we feel burdened that it's unintentionally made headlines. Kim Joo Na herself is also surprised."

Kim Soo Hyun's side also commented, responding to those wondering why he was previously known as an only child. His agency stated, "Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Joo Na have never even lived with each other before, and there was never any visiting between the two. Though he wishes for her to do well as she's his half-sister, he didn't purposely hide it from people either."

His label explained, "To be honest, Kim Soo Hyun is an only child from his mother's perspective. It seems as if he's worried that his mother might be hurt. Maybe he's said he was an only child thinking of his mother. We hope his fans understand."

What do you think about both sides' comments?
