Jung Woo Sung
- Name: Jung Woo Sung
- Native name: 정우성
- Also Known as: Young Old Man, Jeong U Seong
- Nationality: South Korean
- Gender: Male
- Born: April 22, 1973
- Age: 51
He made his film debut in 1994 with "Kumiho" based on the Korean legend of a supernatural fox with nine tails that disguises itself as a beautiful woman. Two years later, he starred in "Bea"t, which put him on the map of Korea's film industry, wherein he portrays a high school dropout who struggles to survive and help his friend who has gone to work for the mob.
He won the 29th Blue Dragon Film Awards' Most Popular Actor for "The Good, the Bad, and the Weird" in 2008.
He grew up under difficult circumstances and ended up dropping out of high school. People were supposed to hold a high school diploma to be enlisted in the army until 2020. While it’s not applicable any more as the regulation was lifted, he was exempted from military service because he didn’t meet the academic requirements.
He fathered a child with model Moon Ga Bi. His statement came after South Korean entertainment portal Dispatch Korea announced that he is the baby’s father and Moon Gabi had announced that she had welcomed a baby earlier this year with an unnamed person. Both the stars confirmed the news shortly after.
