[K-enter] Jung Woo-sung’s Privacy Controversy Continues Day After Day

29/11/2024


Time for our daily dose of K-enter news with Walter Lee. Let’s start off with an update on the Jung Woo-sung situation.

On Monday we reported that 51-year-old Korean actor Jung Woo-sung is the biological father of model Moon Gabi’s son. At first, this was surprising news for the public which soon turned to discontent. Reports claim that Jung has been in a long-term relationship with another woman. This escalated further when a photo of Jung Woo-sung appearing affectionate with a woman surfaced on social media.

The reason why this has caused a big stir in Korea is that Jung was once seen as a gentlemanly figure, however, his actions have seemed to contradict his actions leaving the public surprised. In 2018 Jung took part in a campaign to support single mothers and adopted children which has resurfaced in light of the controversy adding fuel to the fire.
There are voices though who are calling for the actor’s privacy.

We have some K-movie news.

Plus M Entertainment has announced that Song Joong-ki’s new movie, Bogotá: City of the Lost has a release date. But first, let me give you a little rundown on the plot for anyone who is interested.

Song Joong-ki plays the role of Guk-hee. In the 1990s, 19-year-old Guk-hee relocates to Bogotá with his family in search of a better life, only to find themselves struggling to survive. Starting from the very bottom, he endures countless hardships and eventually rises to control Bogotá’s black market. The teaser trailer showcases the stunning landscapes of Colombia and hints at a unique story unfolding in this unfamiliar land.

Bogotá: City of the Lost, will be released on December 31st.

Finishing off with some K-pop news, tell us more.
