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 fan’s 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, “Age differences can’t be overcome.”

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 Sung’s relationship with Moon Gabi has reignited discussions about the actor’s 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:

• “Turns out he’s such a fake person…”
• “He says he can’t overcome the age difference, so he doesn’t get married.”
• “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 sex, but not for sharing a life together through marriage? Really?”

The lack of clarity regarding their relationship and family dynamics has further fueled the backlash.

The Public’s 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.
