Actor Jung Woo-sung has emerged as an "icon of responsibility" regarding his personal life.
On the 5th, reports surfaced that Jung submitted a marriage registration with a non-celebrity woman he has been dating for a long time, while his agency, Artist Company, stated through OSEN, "The reports regarding the marriage registration concern the actor's highly private area, so it's difficult to disclose an official position," thus remaining silent. This vague stance has tilted the weight of speculation towards the marriage registration.
In November last year, Jung Woo-sung was embroiled in an unexpected issue. It was reported that model Moon Gabi secretly gave birth to a child out of wedlock, and that the child's biological father was Jung Woo-sung. In response, Jung's side confirmed paternity tests were completed and stated, "We are discussing the best way to raise the child, and as a father, I will do my best for the child."
Soon after, the 45th Blue Dragon Film Awards took place, and contrary to concerns, Jung Woo-sung appeared as the lead in the film "Spring in Seoul" and as the presenter for the Audience Choice Award. He had been known as an actor who enjoys film festivals, but on this day, he could not smile brightly until the moment his film "Spring in Seoul" received the Audience Choice Award.
Instead, he conveyed his true feelings to the public. Standing in front of the microphone, Jung Woo-sung expressed gratitude to all the audience members who watched "Spring in Seoul" while also saying, "I stand here hoping that my private matters won't leave a stain on the film. I sincerely apologize to everyone who has shown me love and expectations for causing concern and disappointment."
As an actor, Jung Woo-sung gathered courage and stated in front of his agency's juniors Lim Ji-yeon and Go Ah-sung, along with Kim Goeun, Tang Wei, Lee Jay-hoon, Han Ji-min, Koo Kyo-hwan, Jung Haein, Park Hae-jun, Lee Hye-ri, Ra Mi-ran, Lee Seong-min, Lee Hee-jun, Yeom Hye-ran, Lee Jeong-ha, Park Joo-hyun, Lee Joo-myung, that "I will take all the criticism upon myself. I will fulfill my responsibilities to my son as a father to the end."
Jung Woo-sung, who appealed for responsibility regarding his out-of-wedlock child, is interpreted to have signed the marriage registration in order to take responsibility for his long-time partner. According to initial reports, Jung and his wife have been through many ups and downs together over the years. Jung's wife has been particularly noted as a supporter who stood by him and provided emotional support during difficult times.
For Jung Woo-sung, it was likely that he considered the marriage registration out of a sense of responsibility not only for his out-of-wedlock child but also for his long-time partner whom he loves. Thus, he has established himself as an "icon of responsibility."
