Actor Jung Woosung confirmed that he is the biological father of model Moon Gabi's son.
On the 24th, Jung Woosung's agency, Artist Company, released an official statement saying, "The child revealed by Moon Gabi on her SNS is indeed the biological child of actor Jung Woosung. Discussions are ongoing regarding the best approach to childcare, and he will do his best as a father for the child."
Earlier, the entertainment outlet Dispatch reported on Moon Gabi's childbirth and revealed that Jung Woosung was the father. According to the report, the two first met in 2022 and became close, with the pregnancy occurring in June of last year. Although Jung Woosung personally chose the child’s prenatal nickname and participated in discussions about postpartum care and hospital arrangements, it was clarified that their relationship was not based on marriage.
On the 22nd, Moon Gabi belatedly announced the existence of her son through her SNS, stating, "I was not prepared for the student news. I spent my pregnancy period quietly, surrounded by the blessings of my family. Through this announcement, I feel somewhat relieved."
Model Moon Gabi debuted in 2017 through OnStyle's Attractive TV and gained immense popularity for her exotic looks and vibrant, healthy charm. However, she has been inactive since 2020 and has mostly remained out of the public eye.

-Is it true the woman posted that on Instagram because she wanted marriage and the man didn't?
-That’s just the bare minimum. If he doesn’t take responsibility, he’s just trash.
-The child’s already been born, and they’re still discussing... They must have had serious disagreements.
-The kid should be babbling "Mom" and "Dad" by now... It’s so bitter that this is happening to their own child.
-Personally, I’d like to have a child without marriage, but that’s probably not acceptable in Korea.
-There can be different family structures. I think Korea is way too conservative.
-Even if they don’t marry, they should co-parent... It better not just end with him giving money.
-Why didn’t they use contraception?
-This is the problem with one-night stands.
-I don't think they have to reveal their childcare plans to the public, no?
-Why did he get her pregnant if he wasn't going to marry her? If he wanted to have some pleasure, he should've used contraception. This is so f*cking disappointing.
-???? What's going on here?
