Fans Rally Behind Jung Woo-sung During Controversy
On November 25th, fans expressed their support for actor Jung Woo-sung through a statement published on the “Jung Woo-sung Gallery“on DC Inside, an online community platform. The statement addressed the recent controversies surrounding the actor’s personal life, emphasizing their unwavering belief in his commitment to his children.
A Call for Open-mindedness
The fans remarked, “In light of the situation, we hope this incident encourages South Korea to foster more progressive attitudes while contributing to the growth of its pop culture.” They highlighted the case of international soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo as an example of a public figure facing similar challenges.
Urgency for Clarity at the Blue Dragon Film Awards
Furthermore, they insisted that Jung Woo-sung should provide an explanation regarding these matters during the upcoming Blue Dragon Film Awards on November 29th. This step, they argued, is crucial for maintaining his reputation as a respected actor and ambassador.
A Longstanding Advocate
Jung Woo-sung’s supporters also pointed to his dedication as a humanitarian. Since 2014, he has been serving as the honorary ambassador for the UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees) in the Asia-Pacific region. He famously stated, “Interest in refugees isn’t merely about assisting those in need; it reflects our collective effort to eliminate conflicts entirely.”
Parallels with Cristiano Ronaldo’s Life
The fans drew a parallel with Cristiano Ronaldo, who acknowledged paternity of his son, Cristiano Ronaldo Jr., after a DNA test while dating model Irina Shayk. Following this, he welcomed twins through surrogacy and later had two daughters with fiancée Georgina Rodríguez.
Upcoming Awards Ceremony and Attendee Considerations
Jung Woo-sung is set to compete for the Best Actor award at the 45th Blue Dragon Film Awards for his role in the film 12.12: The Day. He faces notable contenders including Lee Sung-min for Handsome Guys, Lee Je-hoon in Escape, Choi Min-sik for Exhuma, and Hwang Jung-min, also for 12.12: The Day.
However, recent criticisms regarding the scandal surrounding his extramarital child have led to speculation that Jung Woo-sung might reconsider attending the awards ceremony.
Clarifications from the Actor’s Agency
The controversy gained momentum when Dispatch revealed on November 24th that Moon Gabi’s son was fathered by Jung Woo-sung. His agency, Artist Company, later confirmed this, stating, “The child revealed by Moon Gabi through social media is indeed Jung Woo-sung’s biological child. Discussions are ongoing to determine appropriate co-parenting strategies, and Jung Woo-sung is committed to fulfilling his parental responsibilities.” However, the agency did not address whether Jung Woo-sung and Moon Gabi intend to marry.
