52-year-old Korean movie star Jung Woo-sung was revealed at the end of last year to have been in a relationship with a non-celebrity girlfriend for 9 years, while also reportedly impregnating model Moon Ga-fei (also known as Moon Ga-bi). His image as an unmarried father was shattered. Korean media outlet mydaily reported on the 5th that Jung Woo-sung had recently registered his marriage with his girlfriend and shared the happy news with close friends, officially bidding farewell to single life. In response, the management company 'Artist Company,' which he operates, kept a low profile and said, "As this is a personal matter, the company cannot provide an official statement," neither confirming nor denying the report.
According to mydaily, a source familiar with Jung Woo-sung and his girlfriend revealed, "Jung Woo-sung and his girlfriend recently registered their marriage and have informed those who know about their relationship." Another insider stated, "They have gone through many good and difficult times together. Especially during low points in Jung Woo-sung's career or personal life, his wife played a reliable role as a life mentor. That’s how life is—now it's a matter concerning the couple. We hope everyone can bless them and let them overcome everything together. Jung Woo-sung is most worried that his wife will be hurt because of this."
Last November, Moon Ga-fei revealed the secret of having a child out of wedlock by posting a photo of her son's hand on IG for her birthday. News later broke that Jung Woo-sung was the father, which shocked everyone. Jung Woo-sung later confirmed that he had become a father, stated he would take responsibility, but had no plans to marry Moon Ga-fei. Originally not planning to attend the Blue Dragon Awards where he was nominated for Best Actor, he changed his mind last minute to appear in person, apologizing on stage: "I will accept all criticism, and as a father, I will be fully responsible for my son." Now with news of marrying his non-celebrity girlfriend, he has again become the center of attention.
In fact, at the time Jung Woo-sung was caught in the illegitimate child scandal, rumors circulated that he already had a long-term girlfriend, which made netizens shake their heads and slam him as a scumbag and playboy. With Jung Woo-sung now married to his girlfriend, some believe this closes the chapter on the controversy, but others remain skeptical, saying, "If he cheated once, he may cheat again." Still, some are willing to give him a chance, hoping he’ll put aside his playboy ways and be a good husband.
