SEONGKYEO of G-ZER0 reveals insight on his relationship with his family on latest episode of WEEKLY IDOL
On the latest episode of weekly idol, leader and lead rapper of G-ZER0, Yong Seongkyeo (better known as Kyeo by his fans), raised eyebrows at the denial of giving a heartfelt message to his family back home.
Towards the end of the episode, the group as a whole was asked to speak a few lines to their families back home given their latest uprising of fame with their comeback “YOU NEVER WALK ALONE” and promotions of “Spring Day” earlier in the year. The aspiring solo artist and songwriter was the last person to be asked to speak, to which he curtly responded with, “I have nothing to say to my family back home,” with a brief apology afterward. This has since raised a few speculations on just what happened before Seongkyeo had joined Mirage and G-ZER0.
It was only a last year he had revealed on a V APP LIVE that he had been with the company since before he was even put into his group at the age of seventeen. Most fans found this extremely surprising because of the age he was, but other fans just brushed it off as his will to become something he had always wanted to as a child. He later revealed in another V APP LIVE that he was in the company interning, writing song lyrics and, “never intended to actually be in a group within the company, but after watching everyone use my work and nobody really noticing me, I tried out for a group and got into the big name G-ZER0.” He also states that it was an exciting feeling, but he always refuses to go any further back than that when it comes to his past. It is not even known if he has any siblings.
Upon the comment while on the variety show, he was asked by the hosts, who have known him for hosting on the show before, in fact, why he did not want to give a message to his family. Seongkyeo simply replied that he does not have contact with his family and that he feels that even if he did say anything, nothing good would come out of it. His statement is below:
“I don’t have any contact with my family, so if I wanted to send them a message on air, it’s not like they would see it or even know about it. But even if they did, I don’t really think it would matter, because nothing good would come out of it.”
The host’s attempts to pressure Seongkyeo for more answers were to no avail, as he only replied with saying that his family was now his group mates, and that was all that he cared about in the moment. He also expressed his love for his fans and career, saying that was his message to his family; everyone who had supported him and his group throughout his career.
Ever since the show, many fans have been wondering just what hides behind Seongkyeo and his heavy past. Some fans have asked him to expose the problems between him and his family, but he either declines or flat out ignores them. He eventually addressed it to the public in an instagram post as seen below:
It is expected that fans will continue to support the group and the leader without hesitation, but there will always be a mystery surrounding Seongkyeo’s past. He has told the public that the company is allowing him to stay quiet about it and any heavy rumors or speculations will be dealt with accordingly.
Despite it all, Seongkyeo seems to have moved on very quickly and happily from the situation, continuing to do all he can to help promote G-ZER0’s comeback and prepare for future projects.
