Despite a burgeoning controversy regarding his paternity, Jung Woo Sung will attend the Blue Dragon Awards this week. Artist Company, representing the actor, confirmed on Monday that he will be present at the prestigious 45th Blue Dragon Awards ceremony, scheduled for November 29 at KBS Hall in Seoul. The acclaimed actor, nominated for Best Actor for his role in “12.12: The Day,” is set to participate in the event that honors the best in South Korean cinema annually. The 2023 film, a significant box office success, has earned nominations in several categories.
Jung Woo Sung has taken responsibility for raising a child after model Moon Ga Bi informed him of her pregnancy following their brief romantic involvement. Reports indicate he is now in a relationship with a non-celebrity, as per TENASIA. In response to recent paternity reports, Artist Company confirmed that Jung Woo Sung is the biological father of Moon Ga Bi’s son, born in March. Moon Ga Bi, in her 30s, shared this news on social media, and discussions are ongoing about the child’s upbringing.
Before the company’s confirmation, TENASIA reported that Jung Woo Sung has been dating a non-celebrity for over a year, who was unaware of his paternity status. Artist Company released a statement, “The child shared by Moon Ga Bi on social media is indeed Jung Woo Sung’s biological son. Discussions are ongoing regarding the best way to handle the child’s upbringing. Jung Woo Sung is committed to taking full responsibility for his child.”
The agency also addressed the actor’s relationship status, requesting privacy and avoiding excessive speculation about his personal life. Despite these explanations, the news has sparked a heated debate among K-entertainment fans.
Moon Ga Bi responded to the issue on social media, stating, “When I received this unexpected news, I was unprepared. Instead of fully celebrating the joy of pregnancy, I chose to spend most of my pregnancy quietly with my family’s blessings. That decision was made solely for the sake of the child I was carrying.” She has been relatively inactive on social media, with her latest post about her pregnancy appearing recently after a two-year hiatus.
Jung Woo Sung and Moon Ga Bi reportedly met in 2022, leading to their romantic involvement. Multiple sources suggest that Moon informed Jung of her pregnancy later that year, to which the actor responded by taking responsibility for the child. However, Jung Woo Sung has consistently expressed his stance against marriage, which is believed to have caused some tension between him and Moon Ga Bi.
