As actor Jung Woo-sung's attendance at the Blue Dragon Film Awards remains uncertain, he has already caused quite a nuisance. Interest in the new MC Han Ji-min, who follows Kim Hye-soo, and expectations for the award-winning works have faded. All eyes are solely focused on whether Jung Woo-sung will attend, and if he does, whether he will address the personal life controversies that began with the extramarital child scandal.
Jung Woo-sung is nominated for Best Actor for the film "Spring in Seoul," which has attracted ten million viewers, at the 45th Blue Dragon Film Awards ceremony taking place today (29th) at 8:30 PM at KBS Hall in Yeouido, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul. He was also scheduled to attend as a presenter.
Initially, Jung Woo-sung intended to attend the Blue Dragon Film Awards despite the extramarital child scandal, but as more details about his past began to surface, leading to personal life controversies, he decided to skip the ceremony.
However, after repeated discussions with the film festival organizers and related parties, he has suddenly remained silent, stating that he is "reconsidering" his attendance at the ceremony.
If Jung Woo-sung attends, it will be his first official appearance since the extramarital child controversy, and there is keen interest in whether he will directly address the issues surrounding him. Even in this situation, if he does attend, his chances of winning Best Actor will naturally increase. There is much curiosity about what choice he will ultimately make, given that he has not commented on the personal life controversies at all.
Previously, it was revealed that Jung Woo-sung is the biological father of a child born to model Moon Ga-bi, which caused a shock. In response, Jung Woo-sung's agency stated, "As a father, I will take full responsibility for the child," but drew the line regarding marriage to Moon Ga-bi.
Following this, reports emerged that he is in a long-term relationship with his current girlfriend, and messages exchanged via Instagram DM (direct message) with a non-celebrity woman were leaked, leading to further personal life controversies. Jung Woo-sung's side has stated, "We have no further comments regarding personal matters. There will be no additional statements."
This year, following Kim Hye-soo's departure from the hosting position last year, actors Lee Je-hoon and Han Ji-min are hosting the Blue Dragon Film Awards. The nominees for Best Picture include "Veteran 2," "Spring in Seoul," "The Burial," "Past Lives," and "Handsome Guys."
