Jung Woo-sung participated in the 16th “Letters from Angels” campaign in November 2018 with Marie Claire. “Letters from Angels” is a campaign hosted by photographer Cho Se-hyun and the Korea Social Welfare Society, aiming to raise awareness about domestic adoption. Over 350 stars and prominent public figures have participated, significantly influencing public perception on adoption in Korea.
In the video from the campaign, Jung Woo-sung is seen cradling a newborn baby during a photoshoot. When the baby cries, Jung Woo-sung is shown desperately trying to comfort and soothe the child.
In the video, Jung Woo-sung confessed, “It’s overwhelming. Before and during the shoot, I kept thinking, ‘Is this a campaign I should even participate in?’ because it’s about a life. It’s not easy, as it involves social awareness and issues surrounding a person’s life, so it’s quite a burden.”
Earlier, Moon Ga-bi shared the news of her pregnancy on the 22nd, stating, “It was such a sudden announcement that I wasn’t fully prepared. Instead of fully enjoying the joy of pregnancy or receiving congratulations, I spent most of the time quietly with my family’s blessings.” She also mentioned, “The reason I chose to keep it hidden was solely for the sake of the child I’m carrying. I’ve always believed that sometimes, to protect something precious, it’s best to keep it hidden.”
A media outlet later reported that the biological father of Moon Ga-bi’s child is actor Jung Woo-sung, who is 16 years older than her. The two first met in 2022, during which Moon Ga-bi informed Jung Woo-sung of her pregnancy. After a paternity test, she gave birth to the child in March. The two are not in a formal relationship, but Jung Woo-sung’s side stated that they are discussing the best approach to raising the child and will take full responsibility.
After the news broke, Jung Woo-sung’s past participation in the “Letters from Angels” campaign has been gaining attention again. Netizens have responded with comments like, “I didn’t know Jung Woo-sung had participated in a single-mother campaign,” “How many things are happening in one day?” “He did exactly what the campaign called for,” “His actions contradict the campaign’s message,” and “Now it feels like it’s not someone else’s issue, but something we should all support.”
Despite the controversy, Jung Woo-sung is still scheduled to attend the 45th Blue Dragon Film Awards on the 29th as planned.
