Hyeri Praised for 'Restrained' Reaction to Jung Woo Sung's Entrance Amid Loud Cheers: 'The Only Sane Person'

Hyeri's "indifferent" expression towards Jung Woo Sung's entrance at an awards show has sparked reactions online.

On November 29, the 2024 Blue Dragon Awards was held, bringing in numerous Korean celebrities to receive recognition. Jung Woo Sung, who has been in the limelight lately due to his paternity scandal, appeared at the event to interact with the audience.

For context, Jung Woo Sung was confirmed to be the biological father of the son of model Moon Gabi. This was later verified by Jung Woo Sung's agency Artist Company, 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, igniting cheating allegations.

Further, the model reportedly wanted to get married, but the actor vehemently refused as he was firmly against the idea of marriage.

Meanwhile, at the ceremony, Jung Woo Sung's movie "12.12: The Day" won the award for the Audience Choice for Most Popular Film, which the actor had presented. When he introduced himself, the camera showed the audience clapping and cheering.

Numerous celebrities left a sour note to netizens, who called the stars out for showing support for Jung Woo Sung despite his scandal.
