Actor Jung Woo Sung has been making headlines after confirming he is the biological father of model Moon Ga Bi's child.

On the 22nd, Moon Ga Bi shared the news of her childbirth on social media, saying, "The news came so suddenly, and I wasn’t prepared at all. Instead of fully enjoying the joy of pregnancy or receiving congratulations, I quietly spent most of the pregnancy period surrounded by my family’s blessings." She added, "I wanted to show my child the bright and beautiful world I saw in the past, and for that, I knew I had to find the courage."

Soon after, reports confirmed that Jung Woo Sung is the father of Moon Ga Bi’s child. Jung Woo Sung's agency, Artist Company, confirmed the news, stating, "The child Moon Ga Bi revealed on SNS is indeed Jung Woo Sung’s biological child," and added, "We are discussing the best way to raise the child, and as a father, he will do his best."

Jung Woo Sung and Moon Ga Bi reportedly became close in 2022, with Moon Ga Bi becoming pregnant in June of the following year, and giving birth in March. With the news of Jung Woo Sung’s out-of-wedlock child, some have speculated that he may have been preparing for the potential personal life risks that could arise from this revelation.

Jung Woo Sung gained massive success last year with his film Seoul’s Spring, which became the first film in his career to reach 10 million viewers. The film, depicting a tense period of history in 1979, reached a total of 13 million viewers and was a huge box office success. However, since then, Jung Woo Sung has not signed any advertising contracts. Industry insiders have shared that while many offers came his way, he has been cautious, possibly due to concerns about potential "personal life risks" that could affect his career and image.

Coincidentally, after the news of Moon Ga Bi’s pregnancy, Jung Woo Sung also stepped down from his position as a goodwill ambassador for the UN Refugee Agency. He had held the position since May 2014, resigning after nine years of service.

These developments have led to speculation that the actor may be stepping back from public commitments to manage the situation. Recently, private photos of Jung Woo Sung with a non-celebrity woman were leaked, further fueling the ongoing controversy. His agency has commented on the matter, stating, "This is a private issue, and we cannot confirm anything," urging fans to avoid excessive speculation.

As Jung Woo Sung faces personal challenges, it seems that these events will likely impact the public image he has carefully built over the years.

Lee Kyung Gyu's star-making influence goes beyond Kang Ho Dong, as Hong Jin Kyung shares how he helped her kickstart her career.

On the April 24 episode of KBS 2TV’s Problem Child in House, legendary comedian Lee Kyung Gyu appeared as a guest—and a touching story from the past was revealed.

Hong Jin Kyung surprised everyone when she said, “He’s the teacher for all of us. Personally, he’s the one who helped me debut.” She even pinned a carnation flower on his chest to show her gratitude.

Lee Kyung Gyu smiled and said, “I still remember when Hong Jin Kyung walked up the stairs onto the stage for the first time.”

Hong Jin Kyung then shared her journey to becoming a star. “I joined a supermodel contest, but only the top 3 winners were noticed in broadcasting. I got a special prize, so I had no chance to be on TV."

She continued, "At first, I was just a backup for a show. But somehow, I became a regular the next week. I never knew why."

She added, "I thought the PD gave me a shot. But then one day, I randomly met Kyung Gyu sunbae, and he told me it was actually him who recommended me.”

Kim Sook asked with a smile, “So Kyung Gyu sunbae said nice things about you to the PD?”

Lee Kyung Gyu playfully replied, “Don’t say it in such a childish way,” making everyone laugh.

He then explained more seriously, “The show was Scoop TV Entertainment, and I was pretty much the main MC. When Jin Kyung showed up, I saw her determination and passion."

He added, "While others didn’t seem serious, she really stood out. I told the PD, ‘She seems unique. Why not keep her on the show?’”

Kim Jong Kook chimed in, “So if the main MC said that, doesn’t that mean you basically got her in?”

That made Lee Kyung Gyu happy. He grinned and replied, “Exactly! You speak well. Be like him!”

He added, “After that, Jin Kyung’s career took off. She started doing shows with Lee Young Ja and just kept going.”

Fans are now calling Lee Kyung Gyu not only a top MC, but also a quiet star-maker behind the scenes!
