It became known that the biological father of model Moon Ga-bi's son is actor Chung Woo-sung, and it has been revealed that he has not signed any advertising contracts since last year. On the 25th, according to industry insiders, Chung Woo-sung has not signed any advertising contracts since the last one in 2022 for 'NHN Hangame.' In July of this year, he also resigned from his position as a UNHCR goodwill ambassador, a role he had held for nine years since 2015. Insiders reported that since his debut in the film 'Spring in Seoul' released in Korea last year, he has become the first '10 million actor' (an actor with works that have attracted over 10 million viewers) but has not been proactive in signing advertising contracts. A distribution industry insider revealed, 'Actor Chung Woo-sung was considered as a model candidate, but I heard that the actor's side declined.' He was active as an advertising model for 'WeMakePrice,' 'Pernod Ricard Korea (Ballantine's),' 'Samsung Fire (Direct Auto Insurance),' and 'GIORDANO' in 2017. In the distribution industry, he served as a model for 'Lotte Hi-Mart' in 2019 and 'Paldo' in 2021. Some speculate that he may have refrained from advertising activities considering the possibility of his biological child's existence being made public. If a celebrity violates the 'dignity maintenance clause' that requires them to maintain their honor during advertising contracts, they could face penalties amounting to several times the contract amount. Typically, they would have to pay several times the contract amount or several months' worth of advertising fees. Prior to this, Chung Woo-sung's agency, Artist Company, stated on the 24th, 'The child that Mr. Moon Ga-bi revealed through social media is the biological child of actor Chung Woo-sung,' and 'We are discussing the best way to raise the child and will do our best as a father.' However, agency representatives stated, 'We cannot confirm the timing of the child's birth, the relationship between Moon Ga-bi and Chung Woo-sung, or any marriage plans as they are private matters.' On this day, Korean media Dispatch reported that the two met for the first time at a gathering in 2022, and after keeping in touch, it was discovered that Moon Ga-bi was pregnant in June of last year, and she gave birth in March of this year. It was reported that Chung Woo-sung was delighted to hear the news of the pregnancy and even named the child himself. He promised to take responsibility, discussing postpartum care facilities and hospitals.
