Who is Model Moon Ga-bi, the Mother of Jung Woo-sung's Child?

Model Moon Ga-bi (문가비), 35, has recently made headlines after revealing that the father of her newborn child is none other than actor Jung Woo-sung (정우성), 51. This revelation has sparked significant public interest in Moon Ga-bi.

On December 22, Moon Ga-bi shared a photo with her son on her Instagram, announcing the birth. Just two days later, on December 24, media reports confirmed that the child is indeed Jung Woo-sung's biological son. Jung Woo-sung's agency, Artist Company, released an official statement on the same day, confirming the news.

Currently, Moon Ga-bi and Jung Woo-sung are not in a romantic relationship and have no plans to marry. Jung Woo-sung's team stated, "We are discussing the best approach for raising the child and will do our utmost as a father."

Born in 1989, Moon Ga-bi is 35 years old, while Jung Woo-sung, born in 1973, is 16 years her senior. Standing at 170 cm with a sun-kissed complexion and exotic features, she has often been mistaken for a mixed-race or foreign individual, but she is actually from Incheon, South Korea. Her name, 가비 (Ga-bi), is her real name written in Hanja, not a stage name. She graduated from Incheon Arts High School and reportedly traveled to the United States for language studies after completing her first semester in college.

Moon Ga-bi began her career abroad before making a name for herself in South Korea. In a past interview, she mentioned, "I was scouted as a model while on vacation in Hong Kong, which led me to start my modeling career. The opportunity to travel the world was the biggest reason I pursued modeling." She won the Miss World Bikini competition in 2011 and was awarded Miss Press at the international beauty pageant 'Miss Tourism Planet' organized by the Greek Ministry of Tourism in 2014.

She made her domestic television debut in 2017 with OnStyle's 'Charming TV' and continued to appear in various shows, including SBS's 'Law of the Jungle,' KBS2's 'You Are My Destiny,' and MBC's 'Section TV Entertainment Communication.' She has also participated in numerous fashion brand advertisements and runway shows, including Hera Seoul Fashion Week. However, she has not been active in broadcasting since 2020.

After a hiatus of about two years and five months, Moon Ga-bi returned to Instagram in June 2022 to announce her new role as a mother. She expressed her gratitude to those who have supported her, stating, "I thought I might be forgotten, but I wanted to share my honest feelings with those who still care about me. Now, as a mother, I have found the courage to live a more ordinary life filled with happiness."

She added, "I know I will face many people and questions in the future, but sharing my story has lightened my heart. A simple congratulations is enough for me. I will walk step by step with this little one who has given me a new world."
