Actor Jung Woo Sung made headlines this year when it was discovered that he was involved in a paternity scandal with model Moon Ga Bi, while in the midst of a longterm relationship with someone else. Moon Ga Bi recently gave birth to their son, and Jung Woo Sung stated that he will “fulfill his duties as a father”.

Now, attention has been drawn to the actor once again after netizens discovered that he was excluded from his company’s New Year’s greetings. Jung Woo Sung’s entertainment company, Artist Company (of which Jung Woo Sung is also a founder) recently released a set of special handwritten holiday greetings from the actors belonging to the company, including Lee Jung-jae, Yeom Jung-ah, Park Hae-jin, Kim Jong-soo, Park So-dam, Lim Ji-yeon, Go Ah-sung, Kim Jun-han, Kim Hye-yoon, Bae Sung-woo, and Won Jin-ah.

However, there was one notable exception. Though he was tagged alongside the other participating actors, Jung Woo Sung’s handwritten greeting was not included. This is especially significant given his position as the representative actor and director of Artist Company. While some netizens are speculating over whether his exclusion was intentional or not, it is widely presumed that the absence of Jung Woo Sung's New Year's greetings is related to his recent scandal.
