Understanding Jung Woo-sung’s Position

Ahn highlighted that Jung Woo-sung’s refusal to marry stems from deeper considerations, even in light of public backlash. “Despite facing significant criticism, he has firmly decided against marriage,” Ahn remarked.

According to Ahn, Jung acknowledges his role as the biological father of the child but is not interested in formalizing the relationship through marriage. “He is determined to provide for child support and childbirth expenses, indicating a clear boundary between financial responsibility and marital ties,” Ahn explained. This perspective diverges from societal norms where marriage is often seen as the default choice when raising a child.

The Legal Perspective on Financial Risks

Ahn elaborated on the financial implications of marriage for Jung. He referenced a 2021 estimation that suggested Jung’s income per commercial exceeds 700 million KRW, with total earnings from advertisements soaring past 40 billion KRW. His overall wealth is estimated conservatively at 60 billion KRW, raising significant concerns about divorce settlements in Korea, particularly under the “5-Year Efficiency, 10-Year Promise” principle.

This principle states that if a couple divorces after five years, 30% of joint assets are divided, escalating to 50% after ten years. For Jung Woo-sung, this means potential payouts of 18 billion KRW after five years and 30 billion KRW after ten years. Even short-term settlements could reach up to 10 billion KRW.

Child Support Considerations

In contrast to the financial stakes tied to marriage, Ahn noted the mechanics of child support in Korea: “The system sets income brackets for determining support obligations. The highest bracket is designated for individuals earning over 12 million KRW monthly. No matter how significant the income—whether 20 million, 30 million, or even 100 million KRW—monthly child support rarely exceeds 3 million KRW.”

Conclusion and Current Developments

Jung Woo-sung’s deliberation about participating in the upcoming Blue Dragon Film Awards has also come under scrutiny amidst these controversies. As public discussions continue to evolve, how Jung navigates his obligations—both legal and personal—remains a point of significant interest.
