Actor Jung Woo Sung is under fire after old remarks he made about age differences in relationships resurfaced. The controversy follows the announcement of his fatherhood with Moon Gabi, a model 16 years his junior, sparking accusations of hypocrisy.
The Viral Clip From 2017
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 fanโs marriage proposal.
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, โAge differences canโt be overcome.โ

At the time, the comment was praised for its decisiveness and humor. However, in light of his relationship with Moon Gabi, critics are revisiting these words with skepticism.
Netizens Question His Consistency
Jung Woo Sungโs relationship with Moon Gabi has reignited discussions about the actorโs stance on age gaps. Adding to the debate is the fact that the two were reportedly not in a relationship when Moon Gabi became pregnant, and no marriage announcement has followed.
Online reactions have been sharp, with some accusing Jung Woo Sung of having double standards:

โTurns out heโs such a fake personโฆโ
โHe says he canโt overcome the age difference, so he doesnโt get married.โ
โThey had a child, but marriage isnโt possible because of the age gap? Wow.โ
โMarriage isnโt okay, but everything else is fine, lol.โ
โLOL.โ
โSo, not getting married makes what he said technically true? Disgusting.โ
โSo, age difference is fine for pleasure-seeking like sex, but not for sharing a life together through marriage? Really?โ
The lack of clarity regarding their relationship and family dynamics has further fueled the backlash.
The Publicโs Overall Reaction
While some have defended Jung Woo Sung, arguing that personal circumstances can evolve over time, many remain critical. The discussion continues to attract significant attention, with thousands of comments debating whether his past remarks were genuine or contradictory.
