Jung Woo-sung said, "In preparation for controversy, did you resign as a Goodwill Ambassador without filming an advertisement? Speculation".

Actor Jung Woo-sung (51), who reported that he became a father while single, expressed his position that he was "doubtful" about the view that he might have prepared for the "out-of-wedlock scandal."

Jung Woo-sung has not signed an advertising contract after the NHN Han Game advertising model in 2022. In July, he resigned from the UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador for nine years from 2015.

Some speculated that he might have refrained from advertising in mind of the possibility of disclosure of his birth. Violation of the "Dignity Maintenance Agreement" clause, which requires celebrities to maintain their honor when signing an advertising contract, is likely to result in a penalty of several times the down payment. It is usually agreed to be several times the down payment and several months' worth of advertising.

However, an official from the agency's artist company told YTN today (26th) that it was "excessive speculation," adding, "It is absolutely not true that we have prepared in advance for this incident or resigned as a goodwill ambassador to the United Nations Refugee Agency."

Jung Woo-sung was nominated for the Best Actor Award for the film "Spring of Seoul" at the 45th Blue Dragon Film Awards on the 29th, and attention is being paid to whether he will attend.

In this regard, the agency said, "We are continuing to discuss whether to attend or not. We are putting the value of the film award first and trying to proceed accordingly," he said, expressing concern that the meaning of the awards ceremony would fade.

In addition, an official said, "We will do our best to take responsibility for the child's rearing and plan to continue to discuss it with her mother, Moon Gabi."

However, he declined to say, "There are so many stories about marriage and love right now that I think expressing a certain position could cause another misunderstanding."

On the 24th, it was revealed that the biological father of his son, who gave birth in March this year, was Jung Woo-sung.

After acknowledging this fact, Jung Woo-sung said through his agency, "We are discussing the best way to raise our child, and as a father, we will do our best for our child."

Jung Woo-sung is currently in the middle of filming the Disney Plus series Made in Korea.
