“All criticism should be directed at me, and I will bear it all. As a father, I will take full responsibility for my son,” said Jung Woo-sung during the awards ceremony held at KBS Hall in Yeouido, Seoul, on November 29.

While his attendance had been uncertain due to the recent controversy, he ultimately decided to forgo the red carpet event and participate in the main ceremony.

When presenting the Audience Choice Award for Most Popular Film, Jung maintained a somber demeanor. After 12.12: The Day was announced as the winner of the Audience Choice Award for Most Popular Film, Jung expressed his gratitude to the viewers, saying, “I am deeply thankful to everyone who watched 12.12: The Day. I stand here today with the hope that my personal matters will not cast a shadow on the film or the efforts of everyone involved in its creation.”

He continued, “To all those who have shown me love and support, I sincerely apologize for causing concern and disappointment. I will accept all criticism and carry it with me.”

Recent Controversies

Jung Woo-sung recently came under scrutiny when it was revealed that he is the biological father of model Moon Ga-bi’s son, who was born earlier this year. His agency confirmed the paternity, stating, “The child shared by Moon Ga-bi on social media is indeed Jung Woo-sung’s biological son. We are currently discussing the best approach to parenting, and Jung is committed to fulfilling his responsibilities as a father.”

However, the agency has remained silent on other aspects of the controversy, including Jung’s alleged long-term relationship with a non-celebrity woman and leaked photos showing him in close physical contact with another individual.

Despite the mounting rumors, Jung Woo-sung’s agency requested understanding, stating, “These are matters of personal privacy, and we ask for restraint in speculative commentary.”

Jung’s heartfelt speech at the ceremony marks his first public acknowledgment of the situation. His apology and commitment to responsibility resonated with many, as the public continues to watch how he navigates these challenges in the future.
