Actor Jung Woo-sung made his official appearance after a year since the controversy over his extramarital child and secret marriage registration.
On the afternoon of the 18th, Jung Woo-sung attended the 34th Busan Film Awards handprinting event held at Signiel Busan in Haeundae District, Busan, appearing with a beard in front of the press.
He expressed, "It is always a pleasure to be with the Busan Film Festival and the Busan Film Awards. It is an honor to have the opportunity to present an award as last year's winner. The only regret is that there are no works I am participating in this year."
Jung Woo-sung also mentioned his upcoming project 'Made in Korea', which is set to be released on Disney+ in December. He said, "It's a difficult work to explain briefly," but it was enough to stimulate anticipation. The project is a drama dealing with a huge incident intertwined with wealth and power in the 1970s, where Jung Woo-sung plays the role of prosecutor Jang Geon-young.
In particular, his appearance on this day drew attention as it was the first since he acknowledged the extramarital child controversy last November. At that time, Jung Woo-sung's agency stated, "The child born by model Moon Ga-bi is indeed Jung Woo-sung's biological child," and added, "There are no plans for marriage, but I will fulfill my responsibilities as a father." Later, Jung Woo-sung took the stage at the Blue Dragon Film Awards and bowed his head, saying, "I will take all the blame, and I will take full responsibility as a father."
Additionally, last month, news broke that Jung Woo-sung had completed his marriage registration with a non-celebrity woman, becoming a legal couple, which once again drew attention.
After maintaining a stern expression for a while, Jung Woo-sung smiled brightly while holding up a frame after completing the handprinting at the end of the event. The smile on his face and his beard seemed to be a moment that proved the tumultuous time he had experienced over the past year.
