Jung Yu-ra Targets Jung Woo-sung Again Over 'Acknowledging Illegitimate Child': "I Also Raise Three Kids, Applaud Me"

"Left-Wing Innocent, Right-Wing Guilty" Hypocrisy Targeted
Continuous Criticism Following the 24th

Actor Lee Jung-jae, who was embroiled in an 'extramarital child scandal,' received applause at the Blue Dragon Film Awards ceremony, which angered Jung Yura, the daughter of Choi Seo-won (formerly Choi Soon-sil).

Jung, who is raising three boys alone after two divorces, shared an article on Facebook on the 30th about Jung Woo-sung attending the '45th Blue Dragon Film Awards' and directly addressing the extramarital child controversy. She wrote, "I’m also raising three kids alone, so give me some encouraging applause. You leftist bastards." She added, "They criticized me, saying raising kids alone isn’t something to be proud of, or questioning if someone who can’t keep a family is a mother, but now left-wing innocence and right-wing guilt even apply to raising kids. This is ridiculous," expressing her anger.

This is not the first time Jung has criticized Jung Woo-sung. On the 24th, she said, "You told others to come out, but now it’s 'Where’s the kid’s father?'" and "This isn’t Hollywood, and they’re not even dating at that age, but seeing what they did is incredible." This appears to refer to Jung Woo-sung’s solidarity during the impeachment movement against former President Park Geun-hye amid the 'Choi Seo-won’s political meddling' scandal. At that time, during a stage greeting for the movie 'Asura,' in which he starred, Jung Woo-sung parodied by shouting, "Park Sung-bae (Hwang Jung-min), come out!" as "Park Geun-hye, come out!" Later, Jung Woo-sung’s fans used the slogan "Park Geun-hye, come out" at candlelight protests.

Jung also harshly criticized, saying, "It’s contradictory to say refugees are pitiful but not pity your own child who will carry the label of an extramarital child for life," and "People who say we should accept refugees on our land don’t even want their own sons in their homes." Jung Woo-sung was appointed as a UN Refugee Agency Asia-Pacific Regional Honorary Ambassador in 2014 and served for about 10 years before resigning as goodwill ambassador last July. He was particularly criticized for remarks advocating accepting refugees in 2018.

On the 29th, Jung Woo-sung attended the '45th Blue Dragon Film Awards' and said, "I sincerely apologize to everyone who sent love and expectations for causing concern and disappointment," adding, "I will take all criticism upon myself and bear it. As a father, I will fulfill my responsibilities to my son until the end." After Jung Woo-sung’s remarks, actors and industry officials in the audience gave him applause.
