Actor Jung Woo-sung, "I am the first actor to come out as having a girlfriend."

Actor Jung Woo-sung explained that it's not that he didn't get married, but that he missed the timing.

On the 30th, actor Jung Woo-sung of the movie 'Spring in Seoul' (directed by Kim Seong-soo) appeared as a guest on the YouTube 'SUNG SI KYUNG' channel. In the released video 'Sung Si-kyung's I'll Meet l Jung Woo-sung in My Youth Jung Woo-sung in front of me', Jung Woo-sung expressed his thoughts on the current difficult situation in Korean movies.

On this day, Jung Woo-sung surprised Sung Si-kyung by revealing that he had stopped drinking for five months while filming a romantic drama. Seong Si-kyung asked, “Do you still drink a lot these days?” Jung Woo-sung said, “I filmed a drama recently, and it was a melodrama. Isn’t the quality of the film so good these days? In my previous works, the acting between men was fierce and that kind of thing. Being tired helped. “It was acting. But it shouldn’t have been melodramatic,” he said, mentioning the reason for quitting drinking.

Jung Woo-sung, who plays the role of Lee Tae-sin, commander of the Capital Security Command, in the movie 'Seoul Spring', which deals with the 1979 December 12 military uprising, explained the points he was concerned about while preparing for the character. Seong Si-kyung, who watched 'Spring in Seoul', expressed his impressions, saying, "It was fun to see each person's interpretation of the acting." In response, Jung Woo-sung said, "It is a film that explores human nature rather than judging historical events. (Lee Tae-shin) played the role of constantly calling and ejaculating, a human figure trying to overcome helplessness."

Regarding the situation where the Korean film crisis theory emerged, Jung Woo-sung also mentioned his own beliefs. Jung Woo-sung, who often visits theaters to watch movies, said, "'Korean movies are difficult' and 'theaters are difficult. Please find one.' Actually, those slogans are meaningless to me. I think they are shameless. Since one day, on-site ticket reservations have become easier. I feel this. I wonder how many actors there are. I also wanted to say something to the actors. ‘Please only come to the theater for the movies that are released in theaters.’ Instead, when you see Korean movies that are released in theaters, you go to the theater and watch them? This is what I want to say bitterly. Different actors, different Koreans. “You should definitely come and see a movie, whether it’s a small movie or a low-budget movie,” he said.

Jung Woo-sung, who debuted in 1994 with the movie 'Gumiho', said, "It was a vague dream to become a movie star. When I was in middle school, an acting academy opened up in Yeouido. I mustered up the courage to go there once. I met a manager and suddenly went on an audition. That was my debut film 'Gumiho'. “It was,” he said, referring to the moment he started acting in earnest.

Also, when asked about marriage, Jung Woo-sung said, "It's not that I didn't get married, it's that I missed the right time. I am the first actor to come out in the entertainment industry. I said, 'I have a girlfriend.'" In 2011, there were rumors of a romantic relationship with actress Lee Ji-ah, and it was revealed that Lee Ji-ah had previously married and divorced Seo Tai-ji.

At the time, Jung Woo-sung, who was her lover, also did not know about this fact, so everyone was shocked. Jung Woo-sung said, "Many people think of me as a victim, but where is the victim in love? I feel so sorry for actors and celebrities. They are the same person, so why can't there be someone just because of their fame?" Sung Si-kyung also said, "I will reveal it too, honey." “Come,” he joked.
