Has actor Jung Woo-sung finally found true love?

On Aug. 5, reports surfaced that Jung had completed a marriage registration with his girlfriend. The woman is said to be the same partner he was linked to during last year’s dating rumors.

In response, a representative from Artist Company, Jung’s agency, told Xportsnews, “We ask for your understanding that we cannot offer an official statement on matters concerning the actor’s private life.”

Amid the speculation, Jung’s past remarks about marriage have drawn renewed attention.

In a December 2023 appearance on singer Sung Si-kyung’s YouTube channel, Jung said, “It’s not that I didn’t get married. I just missed the right timing.”

He also said, “I was the first actor in the entertainment industry to come out and say I had a girlfriend,” expressing his views on dating openly. “Celebrities are just regular people. Why should they be treated differently just because they’re famous?”

The actor previously stirred controversy when it was revealed last year that he had fathered a child out of wedlock.

In November 2024, model Moon Ga-bi revealed on her personal social media account that she had been pregnant and gave birth. Public interest surged when it was revealed that the father was Jung. He was born in 1973, while Moon was born in 1989 — a 16-year age gap.

Jung’s agency later acknowledged the child and said, “Discussions are ongoing to find the best path forward, and he will fulfill all responsibilities as the father.”

While Jung chose to confront the out-of-wedlock controversy head-on, he has remained silent on the reports of marriage registration. Public attention is now focused on how he will reappear in front of his fans.
