She posted in March that she had welcomed a son but did not disclose the father’s name. By late November, Dispatch identified Jung as the child’s father. His agency, Artist Company, later confirmed the report. Jung acknowledged paternity and agreed to financially support the child. The timing drew public attention, especially since he was said to be in a long-term relationship with another woman when Moon was pregnant. Moon later clarified their relationship, stating they were together from 2022 to early 2024 and that the baby was not unplanned. She denied any requests for marriage or child support after their breakup.“We met at a gathering in 2022 and got to know each other and continued to be in a good relationship until the last day of 2023. Since sometime in January 2024, I have never met face-to-face with the child’s father and have never demanded marriage or anything else from him because of my pregnancy. This child was neither a mistake nor the result of a mistake," Moon said (Korea JoongAng Daily reported).Meanwhile, Jung’s girlfriend was reportedly unaware of the child until the news broke.Jung Woo-sung has stayed out of the public eye since the controversy but is scheduled to appear in the Disney+ drama Made in Korea this year. This will mark his professional comeback since 12.12: The Day and A Man of Reason in 2023.
