Lee Jin-ho "'Accountant Girlfriend' Rumor Not True"
"Wealthy Person... Been Together for a Long Time"
"Often Dates with Lee Jung-jae Couple as Well"
Amid reports that actor Jung Woo-sung and model Moon Ga-bi have an extramarital child, rumors that Jung Woo-sung had an inappropriate relationship with a married accountant have been confirmed to be unfounded.
On the 3rd, former entertainment reporter and YouTuber Lee Jin-ho posted a video titled "The Truth Behind the Accountant Girlfriend Rumor. Jung Woo-sung's True Feelings? Why Lim Ji-yeon Cheered" on his YouTube channel 'Entertainment President Lee Jin-ho.' In the video, he opened by saying, "All the information related to Jung Woo-sung has come out, but one thing that hasn't appeared is the rumor sheet," and introduced the rumor sheet mentioning Jung Woo-sung and his girlfriend.
According to the content, a law firm employee, Mr. A, stated, "A female accountant received legal consultation at the law firm where she works. This accountant had committed an affair long ago and lived in a common-law marriage with her lover for 10 years," adding, "The accountant divorced her husband to marry her lover. However, the man had multiple affairs during that time and even impregnated an influencer model." He continued, "The accountant decided to break up, and the man told her he would bring his own child to her. He said they should raise the child together and live as a family," and added, "This man is Jung Woo-sung, and the model is Moon Ga-bi. She sought consultation at a small law firm with a high success rate, but the rumor had already spread."
Reporter Oh Mi-jung, who appeared in the video, said, "That rumor is baseless," and added, "If such stories came out from a lawyer's office, that law firm should close. Many celebrities visit law offices to discuss and consult about their issues, so if such talk came from a law firm, it lacks credibility." Lee Jin-ho also agreed, saying, "This is different from the facts. This rumor sheet appeared after the existence of the extramarital child between Jung Woo-sung and Moon Ga-bi became known," and "It would be difficult for such detailed information to come through a law firm."
Reporter Oh further emphasized, "Law firms and lawyers have a strong obsession with confidentiality," and "If such stories leaked, that law firm cannot operate properly." Finally, Lee Jin-ho explained, "After additional investigation, the woman in question was not an accountant," and "She was a wealthy person and had been in a long-term relationship, often dating with the Lee Jung-jae couple."
Earlier, on the 22nd of last month, Moon Ga-bi confessed to giving birth by posting on her social media account, "As a mother of one child, I gathered the courage to live enjoying a more ordinary happiness." Subsequently, reports revealed that Moon Ga-bi's son is Jung Woo-sung's biological child, causing a major scandal regarding their extramarital child. The British public broadcaster BBC reported on the incident, stating, "South Korea demands excessively high social standards from celebrities," and "Jung Woo-sung's recent announcement reflects the reality of Korean society where personal choices and social expectations collide."
