Jung Woo Sung has confirmed he has a son with model Moon Gabi, igniting a wave of divided opinions online.
On the night of the 24th, Jung Woo Sung released an official statement through his agency, sharing, “I have a son with Moon Gabi, and we are currently discussing the best way to raise him. As a father, I will do my utmost for my child.”
Notably, his remarks did not include plans for forming a traditional family. While the actor refrained from detailing the circumstances, reports suggest that Jung Woo Sung and Moon Gabi were never in an official relationship. Unverified claims have also surfaced about disputes between the two regarding parenting and marriage.
This has led to polarized reactions among netizens. Some expressed disapproval, with comments like, “He was irresponsible from the start,” and, “I know what it’s like to grow up without love in a family. It’s heartbreaking.” Others highlighted societal stigma, saying, “Does he not know love children are still widely frowned upon in Korean culture?”
Meanwhile, others voiced support for the actor’s decision. “It’s unconventional, but what else can you do? He should focus on being a good father and providing support,” one commenter wrote. Another added, “Just because there’s a child doesn’t mean marriage is the only answer, as long as he takes responsibility.”
Amid this controversy, concerns are growing about how this revelation may impact Jung Woo Sung’s upcoming projects. He is currently filming Made in Korea, a highly anticipated crime drama co-starring Hyun Bin. Set in the 1970s, Made in Korea follows the tense conflict between a corrupt man consumed by greed and a principled prosecutor determined to take him down.
With Jung Woo Sung’s personal life under the spotlight, both industry insiders and fans are closely monitoring how this controversy might impact his career going forward.
