Actor Jung Woo-sung (51) has been revealed to be the biological father of a son born to model Moon Ga-bi (35), and Jung Yoo-ra (28), the daughter of Choi Soon-sil (renamed Choi Seo-won) and a former national equestrian athlete, harshly criticized him.

On the 24th, Jung Yoo-ra posted a message on her social media account targeting Jung Woo-sung's out-of-wedlock child birth. Earlier on the 24th, entertainment media Dispatch reported that the son recently born to Moon Ga-bi is Jung Woo-sung's biological child. In response, Jung Woo-sung's side stated, "We are discussing the best way to raise the child and will do our best as a father."

She opened by saying, "You told others what to do, and now it’s 'I’m the father of the child'?" and added, "This is neither Hollywood nor Vietnam, yet starting from refugees to out-of-wedlock children, you’re living globally alone." She continued, "At that age, you’re not even in a relationship but didn’t use contraception? That’s incredible. There must have been quite a few similar incidents," and criticized, "You talk a lot about politics and tell people not to mix it with politics, but now you give birth and say don’t link it with marriage."

Jung Yoo-ra said, "Is this Vietnam? You get a woman pregnant but say marriage is not an option? That’s truly selfish. You didn’t even say 'Jung Woo-sung is the father' on SNS, you just posted about the birth, so why are you making a fuss about not consulting?" She added, "You say you’ll take responsibility but don’t want to marry?what does that mean? If Jung Woo-sung ever gets married, the child will still be treated as an out-of-wedlock child or a concubine’s child, so how is that responsibility?" She claimed, "Even early 20-somethings these days don’t do that. If they’re going to take responsibility, they marry; if not, they don’t play word games about 'taking responsibility.'"

Furthermore, she said, "Feeling sorry for refugees but not for your own child who will carry the stigma of being out-of-wedlock for life?this contradiction is exactly a characteristic of the left," and fiercely attacked, "Those who say we should accept refugees on our land don’t even want their own sons in their homes." She also said, "From now on, people who recklessly expose their lower bodies and can’t even take care of their own child in a country suffering from low birth rates should stay out of politics," and added, "I hope the child grows up well and, if the father pretends not to know him later, shouts 'Jung Woo-sung, come out!'" Finally, she said, "I have hated this person all my life, but thinking that in his later years he will live without being treated as a person because he abandoned his child makes me feel sorry for the first time," and added, "The most painful thing in the world is a child’s resentment, and the hardest thing to turn around is the heart of a child who has already drifted away."

Meanwhile, Jung Woo-sung served as a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) for nine years before resigning in July.
