The child, born in March, was kept a secret by the couple until a report by Dispatch on Nov. 24.

Jung and Moon first met in 2022 at a social event and developed a closer relationship over time. In June 2023, Moon informed Jung of her pregnancy, and he responded with joy, committing to take responsibility for raising their child. However, according to Ten Asia, the two have never been romantically involved and have no plans to marry.

The couple carefully planned the arrival of their son, making decisions about the hospital and postnatal care together. Despite not planning to marry, they are dedicated to providing their son with a happy life and fulfilling their parental duties. Jung even gave his son a special nickname.

The news came just two days after Moon shared a photo of her son on Instagram to celebrate her 35th birthday. Shortly after the Dispatch report, Jung's agency, Artist Company, confirmed the news. A representative stated: "He learned about the pregnancy last year and is committed to protecting this precious life. As a father, he will provide full support."

Known as the "Perfect Gentleman," Jung ranked fourth on Entertainment Weekly’s 2020 list of South Korea’s "Most Coveted Bachelors."

Jung's only known public relationship was with actress Lee Ji Ah in 2011, but it ended after details of Lee's past marriage to K-pop icon Seo Taiji became public.

Moon, born in 1989, gained fame as a model and TV personality, appearing on shows like "Attractive TV", "Get It Beauty", and "Law of the Jungle".
