Actress Moon Gabi has made a bold statement clarifying that her relationship with actor Jung Woo Sung, who has kept a low profile since the announcement of an illegitimate child in December, is not what some may have assumed.

In a New Year's message posted by Artist Company, the agency founded by Jung Woo Sung and fellow actor Lee Jung-jae, key omissions were noticeable, according to XportsNews.

Although many actors from the agency sent out New Year greetings, one person who was missing from the list was Jung Woo Sung.

His absence has led to speculation that it is a reaction to the unfolding controversy around his personal life.

Moon Gabi announced her baby in the open on December 22 and stated Jung Woo Sung is the biological father.

This has led to widespread media coverage of the two not being married yet.

In an official statement, Jung Woo-sung expressed that he would take full responsibility for his son and that he owned up to being a father.

Moon Gabi is determined to clear controversies regarding her involvement with Jung Woo Sung.

She also responded to speculation on December 28 that their child was 'born out of wedlock' with 'no relationship prior.'

She said, "The child is not the mistake or a result of a mistake," and denied any assertion that she requested Jung to marry her or provide financial support for the child.

Moon elaborated on her connection to Jung, revealing that they became acquainted at a meeting in 2022 but kept dating until late 2023.

She stressed how she has not seen Jung since January 2024 and that she never pushed him to marry her.

While Moon Gabi at least proactively attempts to clarify her story, observers say that Jung Woo-sung takes an extremely passive attitude toward the events at hand.

All eyes are on both celebrities as they navigate their lives and careers under a microscope in the public eye following the contrasting reactions.
