Former Fin.K.L member and actress Sung Yuri, who recently made her television comeback following her husband's release from detention, faces disappointment as the program she starred in has ended. On the final episode of tvN’s ‘To the End’ aired on January 20, viewers witnessed Sung Yuri and Han Sang Jin engage in an honest conversation about the realities of “middle-aged weight gain.” The two discussed the changes in their bodies as they age, and an expert explained that, in one's 40s and beyond, muscle mass tends to decrease while fat increases, resulting in noticeable shifts in one’s physique.

During the broadcast, the cast visited Dongmyo, mingling with citizens and sharing everyday stories. As they browsed through antique shops, their footsteps led them to a CD and cassette tape store, sparking a wave of nostalgia. When Sung Yuri spotted a Fin.K.L CD in the display—a group she was part of—she bashfully gazed at her younger self in the album’s jacket, commenting with a laugh, "Back then, I didn't have any extra weight, and I was really pretty."

Han Sang Jin surprised Sung Yuri by gifting her a Fin.K.L music video DVD that he purchased at his own expense. Delighted by the unexpected gesture, Sung Yuri expressed her affection for her family by saying, “I want to show my children what their mother looked like in her youth.”

Later, the cast moved on to the flea market, where they continued exchanging stories about health and life. The program quietly ended without any formal farewell, concluding its run after 10 episodes.

Previously, Sung Yuri experienced an unexpected career hiatus due to controversy involving her husband, Ahn Seong Hyeon. He became embroiled in allegations that he colluded with Kang Jong Hyun, the alleged real owner of Bithumb—a major cryptocurrency exchange—in connection with listings on the platform. In December 2024, Ahn Seong Hyeon was sentenced to four years and six months in prison for violations of the Act on the Aggravated Punishment, etc. of Specific Economic Crimes and for bribery. However, his bail was granted, and he was released in June 2025. Against this backdrop, ‘To the End’ marked Sung Yuri's highly anticipated return to television after a prolonged absence, attracting considerable attention.
