Mother of Jung Woo-sung’s Son, Moon Ga-bi, Accused of Having a Child for Money: ‘Legal Action Needed for Defamation’
Recently, the birth of actor Jung Woo-sung and model Moon Ga-bi‘s child has sparked controversy. In response, a divorce attorney has urged the couple to leave a positive example and change public perception of single-parent families, stating, “I hope they set a good precedent.”
On October 28, divorce lawyer Yang So-young uploaded a video on her YouTube channel titled “What Parents Jung Woo-sung and Moon Ga-bi Should Do Now.”
In the video, lawyer Yang praised Moon Ga-bi for her courage in deciding to give birth and carrying it through. “We should celebrate the birth of this precious life,” she said.
She also addressed the criticism surrounding Moon Ga-bi, with some accusing her of having the child for financial reasons, saying, “This is something we need to reflect on. I hope Moon Ga-bi takes strong legal action against the slander and defamation comments.”
Yang pointed out that society’s judgment of the situation, questioning whether there were impure intentions, reflects the prejudice toward single mothers. “I hope society can watch over the child with warm eyes so that they can grow up well,” she added.
As for Jung Woo-sung, she commended his commitment to taking responsibility for the child, noting, “It’s not just about paying child support; as a father, he should do everything he can.” She also emphasized the importance of “visitation rights,” which refers to non-custodial parents having the right to meet or contact their children.
Yang expressed hope that Jung Woo-sung could set a good example in this regard, saying, “Jung Woo-sung has always done good work, and I hope he will create a model case through his actions of meeting his child. His example can positively influence other families.”
On the other hand, Jung Woo-sung publicly addressed the issue for the first time on November 29 at the Blue Dragon Film Awards. He began by saying, “I stand here today hoping my private matters won’t become a blemish on the movie ‘Seoul’s Spring,’ which I worked on with all the involved parties.”
He continued, “I sincerely apologize for causing concern and disappointment to everyone who has supported and loved me. I will bear all the criticism and take responsibility for it. As a father, I will fulfill my duties to my son to the end.”
