Hyeri’s “indifferent” expression towards Jung Woo Sung’s entrance at an awards ceremony has sparked reactions online.
The 2024 Blue Dragon Awards were held on November 29, leading to numerous Korean celebrities receiving recognition. Jung Woo Sung, who has been in the spotlight lately due to his paternity scandal, appeared at the event to interact with the audience.
For context, it has been confirmed that Jung Woo Sung is the biological father of model Moon Gabi’s son. This was later verified by Jung Woo Sung’s Artist Company agency, as well as Moon Gabi, who confirmed her pregnancy with the child.
Reports also revealed that Jung Woo Sung was in a 10-year relationship with someone else, who had no idea about Moon Gabi, triggering accusations of cheating.
Also, the model reportedly wanted to get married, but the actor vehemently refused as he was firmly against the idea of marriage.
Meanwhile, during the ceremony, Jung Woo Sung’s film “12.12: The Day” won the People’s Choice Award for Most Popular Film, presented by the actor. When he introduced himself, the camera showed the audience clapping and cheering.
Numerous celebrities left a sour note with netizens, who chastised stars for showing support to Jung Woo Sung despite his scandal.
However, netizens noticed Hyeri’s subdued reaction, who appeared less enthusiastic at Jung Woo Sung’s entrance than the majority’s applause.
At a community forum, Korean and international netizens applauded the Girl’s Day member’s actions.
OP said, “She seemed a little bitter, probably because the actors were loudly cheering for him around her.”
