As veteran actor Jung Woo-sung reportedly completes marriage registration with his longtime girlfriend, public attention has sharply turned to one burning question: Who is the woman he married and why is everyone calling her rich?
According to insider reports on August 5, Jung’s bride is not only a private individual but a woman of significant personal wealth, with long-standing ties to Korea’s high society.
This isn’t the first time she’s come under the spotlight. In December 2024, well-known entertainment journalist Lee Jin-ho disclosed on his YouTube channel that previous rumors about Jung dating a married accountant were false. He clarified:
“She’s not an accountant. She’s extremely wealthy and has been with Jung Woo-sung for a long time. They’ve even gone on double dates with Lee Jung-jae and Im Se-ryeong.”
The mention of Im Se-ryeong — a high-profile heiress and businesswoman — instantly elevated interest in Jung’s mystery partner. If accurate, this means Jung’s wife belongs to the same rarefied social circles as Korea’s chaebol elite.
Adding to the intrigue, rumors about her wealth had been circulating for months but were often buried beneath stories about Jung’s child with model Moon Ga-bi. With the recent marriage registration essentially confirmed, interest in his wife’s identity and fortune has only intensified.
One entertainment columnist noted: “For someone like Jung Woo-sung — known for his own enormous net worth — to be described as marrying up, it speaks volumes.” While neither Jung Woo-sung nor his agency has confirmed specific details about his wife, their decision to keep things private seems deliberate.
Artist Company responded cautiously to the marriage report: “As this concerns the actor’s private life, we are unable to provide an official statement.” Yet, the agency’s lack of denial has been taken by many as silent confirmation. With her name still undisclosed, speculation continues to swirl. Is she a businesswoman? A global investor? Or simply an ultra-private figure with elite roots?
