Actor Jung Woo-sung’s past participation in a campaign for single mothers is once again drawing attention. This comes after he stated that he would only take responsibility for a son he had with model Moon Gabi. Jung Woo-sung had previously changed diapers and fed milk to a single mother’s baby, an act now being re-examined.
In 2018, Jung Woo-sung participated in the “Letters from Angels” campaign, which aimed to improve domestic adoption awareness. This campaign was organized by photographer Cho Se-hyun and the Korea Social Welfare Society. It had previously seen participation from top domestic stars and celebrities. During this campaign, Jung Woo-sung expressed his cautiousness, saying, “It feels burdensome. I wondered if I should participate in this campaign, both before and during the shoot, as it involves talking about life.”
Despite showcasing father-like qualities during the campaign, his recent actions regarding his biological son have led to criticism. On November 22, it was revealed that Moon Gabi had secretly given birth, and questions arose about the child’s father. It was then revealed that Jung Woo-sung was the father, which shocked the entertainment industry. According to reports, the two met in 2022 and stayed in touch, leading to Moon Gabi’s pregnancy in June of the previous year. However, their relationship was not intended to lead to marriage, and Jung Woo-sung plans to provide full support as a father.
Jung Woo-sung confirmed through his agency that the child Moon Gabi revealed on social media is indeed his and that they are discussing the best way to raise the child. Although he does not plan to marry Moon Gabi, he has stated his commitment to taking responsibility for the child. This unprecedented situation in the domestic entertainment industry has elicited a mixed response of shock, support, and congratulations from the public and fans alike.
Amidst this, Jung Woo-sung has become embroiled in another scandal, involving a rumored relationship with a non-celebrity woman he has been dating for over a year. She reportedly was unaware of Jung Woo-sung’s child with Moon Gabi and was shocked by the news. Additionally, a series of photos and videos of Jung Woo-sung with a non-celebrity woman have circulated online, but his agency has declined to confirm these due to them concerning his private life.
Jung Woo-sung, currently embroiled in multiple sensitive scandals, is set to attend the 45th Blue Dragon Film Awards on the 29th. It remains to be seen whether he will address these issues during the event.
