Actors Jung Woo-sung and Lim Ji-yeon were photographed sitting side by side at the Busan Ilbo Film Awards handprinting event, drawing attention.
Winners from the previous year attended the 34th Busan Ilbo Film Awards handprinting event held on the 18th at Signiel Busan in Haeundae District, Busan. At the event, Kim Geum-soon looked at Jung Woo-sung sitting next to her and joked, "I'm nervous to be sitting next to you again following last year," and Lim Ji-yeon also smiled while chatting with Jung Woo-sung, a senior from the same agency.
Jung Woo-sung, who had appeared tense, gradually relaxed as time passed, and he attracted attention by showing a bright smile during photo sessions.
Among them, the two-shot of Lim Ji-yeon and Jung Woo-sung drew even more interest. Lim Ji-yeon earlier, in a January interview after the drama "The Tale of Lady Ok" ended, had explained the scene last year at the Blue Dragon Film Awards in which she cheered for Jung Woo-sung. At the time, Jung Woo-sung acknowledged being the biological father of model Moon Gabi's son and became the center of an out-of-wedlock child controversy, yet he still took the stage at the Blue Dragon Film Awards. Lim Ji-yeon and Park Ju-hyun loudly applauded and cheered from the audience, while Hyeri, who sat beside them, was contrasted amid controversy by quietly clapping.
About this, Lim Ji-yeon said, "It was a fleeting moment, and I did not expect the public reaction. It was more a spontaneous emotion than a matter of right and wrong," expressing a cautious stance.
Their natural demeanor when they met again after about eight months at this Busan Ilbo Film Awards prompted responses calling it "senior-junior chemistry." Some internet users reacted positively, saying, "They're from the same agency so it's natural to support each other" and "It's nice to see Jung Woo-sung smiling after a long time."
Meanwhile, in November last year, Jung Woo-sung acknowledged that the son publicly revealed by Moon Gabi on social media was his biological child and said, "As a father I will do my best for the child." However, they did not enter into a marital relationship and decided to be committed to the child's life as parents.
