Writer Lee Seon Ok has raised concerns over the way actor Jung Woo Sung is being portrayed in connection to his recent scandal involving an out-of-wedlock child.

On November 26, Lee Seon Ok took to social media to share her discomfort with the public reaction to the situation.

She stated, “A woman, who is an adult, made the decision to have a child on her own. How can anyone say the man made her a single mother? A 35-year-old woman is not a brainwashed minor.”

She went on to question why, when a woman chooses to give birth and raise a child, the responsibility is being shifted to the man, even though they weren’t in a relationship.

She pointed out, “When talking about abortion rights, people often argue that a woman’s body belongs to her alone, and only she should have the right to choose. But when it comes to childbirth, suddenly the man is blamed for making someone a single mother.”

Lee Seon Ok also questioned, “Wasn’t the push for men to share responsibility in abortion laws meant to involve men in decisions post-birth?” She emphasized that “it’s not right to criticize or assign blame to others for their personal choices.”

In her post, she further criticized people who were assigning blame, stating, “If you think this incident harmed the woman’s life, then learn about proper contraception.”

On the same day, Democratic Party lawmaker Lee So Young also weighed in on the controversy, saying she didn’t understand why Jung Woo Sung’s choice not to marry had become such a topic of public criticism.

She pointed out that society accepts couples who have children and then divorce, and wondered if we should really criticize people who have children without marrying and live separately.

Meanwhile, Jung Woo Sung recently confirmed that he is the biological father of model Moon Ga Bi’s child, despite not being in a relationship with her at the time.

Moon Ga Bi gave birth to the child in March and is raising it alone. Jung Woo Sung’s agency has stated that they are discussing the best way to co-parent and that Jung Woo Sung is committed to being a good father.

Lee Jun Young recently opened up about the emotional toll of playing a villain—and how one powerful scene made him break down in tears behind the scenes.

On the May 1st episode of KBS 2TV’s variety show Problem Child in House, Lee Jun Young appeared alongside co-star Jung Eun Ji to promote their new KBS drama Pump Up the Healthy Love.

During the show, Lee Jun Young was asked about the most unforgettable villain he’s played. He chose his role as Han Su Gang in the film Brave Citizen.

He explained, “It was really tough to film. I had to act like I was leading school violence, and there was even a scene where I bullied a grandmother.”

The hosts were surprised, pointing out how kind and gentle he seems in real life. Lee Jun Young shared how he transforms for such roles.

“I try to act as bad as I can, but sometimes the director says, ‘You still look too nice.’ Then I focus even harder and adjust right away.”

He also revealed that filming one particular scene hit him hard emotionally. “My real grandmother was sick at the time,” he said.

“In one scene, there’s a grandma selling gimbap, and I ad-libbed by stubbing a cigarette out on the gimbap. I was really into character, but after filming, I just broke down. So many thoughts came to me and I started crying.”

Fans praised his dedication to acting but also felt moved by how deeply the role affected him. Lee Jun Young’s honesty gave a raw look at how even fictional roles can hit close to home.
