Actor Jung Woo-sung’s agency addressed his rumored relationship with a non-celebrity, saying it could not confirm details regarding his private life.
An official from Jung's agency, Artist Company, said, “We ask for your understanding as we are unable to confirm matters related to the actor’s personal life. We also request restraint from excessive speculation.”
Earlier that day, TenAsia, an online media outlet, reported that Jung has been in a long-term relationship, suggesting that his rumored partner was shocked to learn about Jung’s child from his relationship with model Moon Ga-bi.
Jung and Moon met recently to discuss issues surrounding marriage and child-rearing but could not reach an agreement, TenAsia reported, citing sources.
While Jung expressed his willingness to provide child support for Moon’s son, born out of wedlock, he maintained his stance against marrying Moon or taking on the role of a father in a traditional family setting, it reported.
Moon’s recent social media post, where she revealed the birth of her son and her journey to motherhood with the words “I found the courage,” is understood to be connected to the breakdown of these discussions, it said.
