On November 29, KST, actor Jung Woo Sung made his first public appearance since the birth of his son with model Moon Gabi at the 45th Blue Dragon Film Awards.
Jung’s appearance at the event was uncertain after the birth of his son became a huge controversy due to the fact that he and Moon are not married. This shocked the Korean public and turned his personal life and history into a major scandal. Though it was initially reported that Jung was planning to cancel his appearance, he decided to show up at the ceremony after lengthy discussions with the organizers.
He first appeared on stage as the presenter for the Most Popular Film Award. He went up on the stage a second time to accept the award for his film 12:12: The Day. His acceptance speech directly addressed the ongoing controversy regarding his personal life as he urged audiences not to let it affect the hard work of everyone involved in the movie.
I am deeply thankful to everyone who watched 12.12: The Day. I stand here today with the hope that my personal matters will not cast a shadow on the film or the efforts of everyone involved in its creation.
— Jung Woo Sung
Jung also apologized to fans for “disappointing” them with this controversy and vowed to shoulder all responsibilities of fatherhood sincerely.
To all those who have shown me love and support, I sincerely apologize for causing concern and disappointment. I will accept all criticism and carry it with me. As a father, I will take all the responsibility of my son till the end.
— Jung Woo Sung
Meanwhile, Jung Woo Sung confirmed that he was the biological father of Moon Gabi’s newborn son on November 24. According to a Tenasia report, the two never dated, but after she got pregnant, Moon wanted to get married, while Jung opposed the idea.
