The report that actor Jung Woo-sung has completed his marriage registration with his partner has led to the dominant opinion that he has effectively acknowledged it by responding with 'private life.'
On the 5th, Jung Woo-sung's agency, Artist Company, told OSEN, "Regarding the report of Jung Woo-sung's marriage registration, this is a personal matter, and we ask for your understanding that it is difficult to provide an official position," and added, "We hope excessive interest and speculation will be refrained from." The agency's stance, which did not directly deny the fact, has led to interpretations in the entertainment industry that it is "effectively an acknowledgment."
On the same day, a media outlet reported that Jung Woo-sung recently completed his marriage registration with his long-term partner. According to the report, Jung Woo-sung's wife has been a 'supporter' who has quietly offered advice and comfort whenever he was struggling, both professionally and psychologically, and the two are known to have built a deep trust over the years.
Jung Woo-sung has been embroiled in various dating rumors over the years, but he has rarely officially acknowledged any relationship. In particular, last November, he generated a major shock among the public due to the controversy surrounding model Moon Gabi's 'secret childbirth and paternity acknowledgment.'
At that time, Moon Gabi secretly gave birth while taking a break from her career for four years, and reports followed that Jung Woo-sung was the biological father of the child. Subsequently, Jung Woo-sung's agency acknowledged, "The child revealed by Ms. Moon Gabi is indeed Jung Woo-sung's biological child," and stated, "I will do my best as a father for the child."
Jung Woo-sung also bowed his head at the Blue Dragon Film Awards, saying, "I will take all the blame and bear it. I will fulfill my responsibilities as a father to my son to the end."
Amidst this situation, regarding the resurfacing marriage registration rumors, Jung Woo-sung reportedly said he is "worried that revealing the facts may hurt his wife." This is interpreted as a willingness to protect his wife if the marriage registration rumors are true, indicating he is becoming more cautious about revealing his marital status.
Meanwhile, Jung Woo-sung has previously mentioned that "marriage is not a prerequisite for life," and because Moon Gabi has had a child out of wedlock, some have perceived him as a 'non-marriage advocate.' However, the recent marriage registration report and the agency's response indicate that Jung Woo-sung is not a thorough non-marriage advocate who has decided against marriage.
Jung Woo-sung is currently set to release the Disney+ original drama 'Made in Korea' and is shouldering not only his responsibilities as an actor but also as a father. It remains to be seen whether he will directly address the marriage registration rumors in the future.
