Jung Woo-sung marriage rumors spark fresh backlash at Moon Gabi…"Why are arrows aimed at her again?"
As marriage rumors about actor Jung Woo-sung, who is called a public asset of the entertainment industry, stirred the internet, model Moon Gabi, known as his ex-lover, was again put on the chopping block. This time, despite having issued no comment, she became the target of malicious online comments.
On the 5th, one outlet reported that Jung Woo-sung had completed a marriage registration with a longtime partner. The outlet said, "Jung Woo-sung and his wife have been by each other's side for a long time," and added, "They are not legally a married couple, but Jung Woo-sung received great comfort during a difficult time." Artist Company said it could not confirm the report, but the coverage continued with interpretations close to acknowledgment.
The problem is that the fallout was directed at a completely unrelated person. Some netizens resurrected past allegations of Jung Woo-sung having an out-of-wedlock child and swarmed Moon Gabi's social media, leaving mocking and critical comments. Sarcastic remarks such as "Jung Woo-sung really got caught" and "the ultimate scandal girl" continued, leaving Moon Gabi hurt again.
In December last year, Moon Gabi directly addressed rumors surrounding her and Jung Woo-sung, explaining, "It is untrue that I demanded marriage because of a pregnancy." She added, "We met at a gathering in 2022 and had a good relationship, but after January 2024 there was no contact," and emphasized, "I never demanded marriage or money." Despite that, malicious comments continue online.
In particular, recent photos Moon Gabi posted on social media—her first in 11 months—rekindled controversy. In the photos, Moon Gabi was spending relaxed time on the beach and grass in matching outfits with her son, but some netizens attacked her again, asking, "Why reveal Jung Woo-sung's son's face?" and "Why post this now?" Ultimately, Moon Gabi disabled comments entirely and left only the photos.
Reactions among internet users are divided. "It's Jung Woo-sung's marriage rumor; why is Moon Gabi being cursed? I don't get it," "She was just trying to protect the child's face, yet they pile on," and "Moon Gabi has already explained enough. Leave her alone now," were among the responses. Some voices of reflection have grown louder, saying, "The photo Moon Gabi posted of her son was just an ordinary update, but unnecessary secondary harm keeps repeating."
