Actor Jung Woosung (51) has reportedly been in conflict with model Moon Gabi (35), the mother of his biological son, over issues surrounding childcare and marriage. Despite their attempt to wrap the situation beautifully by saying 'doing their best in their respective positions,' the reality is not actually that good.
According to Ten Asia on the 24th, Jung Woosung and Moon Gabi recently met to discuss matters concerning their child’s upbringing and the possibility of marriage, but there was a disagreement. Moon Gabi wanted to get married and provide their child with a stable family, while Jung Woosung firmly opposed the idea of marriage. Sources suggest that Moon Gabi's recent disclosure on social media about giving birth was triggered by this conflict.
The two reportedly had several private encounters in the past but were never in a romantic relationship. The exact details of how they came to meet remain unclear. While rumors suggested that a famous actor had introduced them, Ten Asia confirmed this was not true.
Shortly after their meetings, Moon Gabi informed Jung Woosung of her pregnancy, and she eventually gave birth. Following a paternity test, Jung Woosung acknowledged his biological role as the father but refused to take on the role of 'Moon Gabi’s husband and the child’s father' in a traditional sense. He provided financial support for child support and childbirth expenses but insisted on not getting married.
On November 22, Moon Gabi publicly revealed that she had secretly given birth. However, she didn't disclose details about the child’s father, marriage, or her partner, sparking public curiosity.
“As a mother, I wanted to live a somewhat more ordinary and happy life, so I gathered my courage,” Moon Gabi wrote. She added, "I was not prepared for the student news. I spent most of my pregnancy period quietly, surrounded by the blessings of my family, rather than openly celebrating the joy of it.”
Moon Gabi further explained her decision to keep her pregnancy discreet, saying, “I made this choice solely for the sake of my unborn child. Deep down, I always believed that in order to protect something precious, I had to keep it hidden."
-At over 50 years old, does he still not understand 'no condom, no sex'?
-Ah... So the woman wanted to get marriedㅋㅎ...
-How can he marry someone he doesn't love? They don't have to get married just because one of them wants to. It's their own mistake for not using contraception.
-He's acting so recklessly despite his age.
-So, he's a complete jerk.
-Please, people, use contraception.
-If he doesn't want to add the child to his family register, does that make the child illegitimate?
-Not wanting to get married but not using contraception is absolutely irresponsible. What is there to defend?
-I've always disliked Jung Woosung. I'm done with him. Bye.
-What...? I thought they didn't get married because the two of them agreed not to. But it turns out that the woman actually wants to get married? What the f*ck?
-As someone who doesn't trust men, this is not surprising. I just hope the mom and baby live well.
-They didn't even date in the first place. Therefore, using the baby to demand marriage is a bit too much... Financial support is the best solution.
-If the man acts like that, it’s better not to have the child than to live as a single mother and illegitimate child.
-Even if they have 16 years of age gap, she's in her mid-30s. It's kinda hilarious for her to demand the man to take full responsibility.
