Actor Jung Woo Sung has been caught in a whirlwind of rumors suggesting an inappropriate relationship with a married accountant. However, new claims have surfaced to refute these allegations, stating that they are baseless.
On December 3rd, YouTuber and former journalist Lee Jin Ho Lee Jin Ho uploaded a video titled “The Truth Behind the Accountant Girlfriend Rumor… Jung Woo Sung’s True Intentions? Why Lim Ji Yeon Cheered” on his personal channel.
Previously, online communities and social media were flooded with messages purportedly sent by a legal firm employee. The messages alleged that a female accountant, referred to as B, had been in a de facto relationship with Jung Woo Sung for 10 years.
B, allegedly a married woman, was said to have divorced her husband after meeting Jung Woo Sung. The rumor further claimed that Jung Woo Sung had cheated multiple times, most recently with model Moon Gabi, leading to her pregnancy. It was even suggested that B had sought legal counsel on how to gain custody of Moon Gabi’s child.
These allegations quickly spread online, fueled by the lack of a clear source and the ambiguous identity of the individuals involved.
Addressing the rumors, Lee Jin Ho stated in his video that while Jung Woo Sung had been in a long-term relationship, the woman in question was not an accountant. “She was someone of considerable wealth and had been in a long-term relationship with Jung Woo Sung, even going on double dates with Lee Jung Jae’s couple. The rumor seems like something fabricated for fun, but it’s well-structured for gossip. If it were true, the industry would already know about it,” he explained.
Lee also cast doubt on the authenticity of the claims, particularly the alleged legal consultation. “When rumors come through law firms, they’re usually vague. Detailed stories like this don’t leak because firms are strict about confidentiality. If such a leak had genuinely occurred, that firm would have to shut down.”
Despite the swirling rumors, Lee Jin Ho suggested that Jung Woo Sung’s career remains relatively unaffected. “While the situation is unusual and shocking, most film industry professionals don’t believe it will impact his casting opportunities. Jung Woo Sung is highly respected in the film community, known for his sincerity and dedication to cinema.”
Lee also referenced actress Lim Ji Yeon’s enthusiastic cheer for Jung Woo Sung at a recent event, suggesting it reflected the film industry’s overall support for him. “It was likely a reflection of the film community’s atmosphere. Being among fellow entertainers might have made him feel less burdened than addressing the situation elsewhere.”
Last month, on November 24th, reports surfaced claiming Jung Woo Sung had become a father with model Moon Gabi without marriage.
Additional reports about his relationship with a non-celebrity girlfriend further fueled controversy. Leaked photos of Jung Woo Sung engaging in affectionate behavior with a woman and screenshots of direct messages added to the speculation.
In response, Jung Woo Sung’s agency confirmed his paternity regarding Moon Gabi’s child but refrained from addressing other personal matters, stating, “As this falls within the actor’s private life, it is difficult to verify. We apologize for the inconvenience.”
