Jung Woo Sung Branded “Disgusting” As His Old Comments On Age Gaps Resurface

Following the surprising announcement that Jung Woo Sung became a father and had a baby with model Moon Gabi (aged 35), past comments made by the actor about age differences have come under scrutiny. Jung Woo Sung, now 51, is facing backlash as netizens dig up his previous statements on the topic, accusing him of hypocrisy.

A specific moment that has reignited controversy is a clip from 2017 that was recently re-shared online. An article reiterating the interaction tells of Jung Woo Sung politely turning down a fan’s marriage proposal. The fan mentioned being willing to overlook their age gap, to which Jung Woo Sung disagreed.

Recently, a video of Jung Woo Sung rejecting a marriage proposal was uploaded to the official YouTube channel of Artist Company. He has long been known for his straightforward and decisive way of turning down proposals. In 2017, when a fan expressed their willingness to overcome the age gap and proposed marriage, he cheerfully responded with a bright smile, saying, “Age differences can’t be overcome.”

Known for his blunt yet charming rejection of such proposals, the comment was initially well-received and earned the actor lots of praise.

However, in light of the recent news, many are questioning the consistency of his stance. The actor’s relationship with Moon Gabi, who is 16 years younger, has sparked accusations that his remarks were disingenuous.

The lack of a marriage announcement has also added fuel to the fire, with some questioning why marriage is off the table despite the birth of their child.

One online post retelling Jung Woo Sung’s words has attracted over 60,000 views and hundreds of comments, many of them harshly criticizing the actor for what they perceive as double standards and hypocrisy.

• “Turns out he’s such a pretentious person…”
• “He can’t overcome the age difference, which is why he can’t marry her.”
• “They had a child, but marriage isn’t possible because of the age gap? Wow.”
• “Marriage isn’t okay, but everything else is fine, lol.”
• “LOL.”
• “So, not getting married makes what he said technically true? Disgusting.”
• “So, age difference is fine for pleasure-seeking, like having sex, but not for sharing a life together through marriage? Really?”
