There were rumors of Yesung being Chairman Kim Jong Il’s third son. It was written on German and Swiss newspapers.”

Yesung said, “My real name isKim Jong Woon. Because our names are similar and my pictures are all over the internet, I think the foreign newspapers misused my picture. The picture they used is actually a photo from our first single jacket.”
