Jeong Woo-sung extramarital affair controversy spreads...won't attend Blue Dragon Film Awards

Actor Jung Woo-sung is facing a controversy over his extramarital affair. The actor is reconsidering whether or not to attend the upcoming Blue Dragon Film Awards after his relationship with model Moon Gabi and the birth of their child became public.

On April 24, Jung Woo-sung acknowledged that he is the biological father of the child Moon Gabi gave birth to and said he would support the child's upbringing. However, the news of their disagreements over their marriage caused a stir."

While Moon Gabi wanted to set up a home for the child, Jung Woo-sung reportedly stuck to his stance that marriage was difficult. This is also the reason why Moon Gabi announced the birth of her child on social media.

The controversy over Jung Woo-sung's personal life didn't stop there. A media outlet reported that Jung Woo-sung had been in a serious relationship with a non-celebrity woman for a long time, and that he was close enough to enjoy double dates with his close actor couple Lee Jung-jae. His agency, Artist Company, responded by saying that it is difficult to confirm this as it is the actor's private life.

The controversy is also taking a toll on Jung Woo-sung's image. As he has always maintained a serious and trustworthy image and has been loved by the public, many reacted with disappointment to his extramarital affair. Especially since Jung Woo-sung has been a vocal advocate for social issues such as refugees, his attitude towards his child has been criticized.

Meanwhile, Jung Woo-sung is nominated for Best Actor at the 45th annual Cheongryong Film Awards on Monday. His film Spring in Seoul was a hit with 13 million viewers, but it's unclear whether he will attend the ceremony amid the controversy.

"He is cautiously considering attending because he is worried that the controversy will damage the awards ceremony," his agency said, adding that Jung Woo-sung is also feeling the pressure of an official appearance.
