[Focus Y] Jung Woo-sung, who became "Dad," how much does Moon Gabi's son have to pay for child support?

While the fact that the biological father of the son who gave birth to the model Moon Gabi was known to be actor Jung Woo-sung, the issue of child support has emerged as a new concern.

On the 24th, Jung Woo-sung's agency, the artist company, said, "The child that Mun Ga-bi released on SNS is Jung Woo-sung's biological child." He then said, "As a father, I will fulfill my responsibilities to the end for my child," but he did not express any additional position on his marriage to Mun Ga-bi and whether he was dating.

Looking closely at this position, first of all, it was officially confirmed that Mun Ga-bi's child was Jung Woo-sung's biological child. However, he did not disclose his marriage to Mun Ga-bi, saying, "I will fulfill my father's responsibilities." If interpreted narrowly, it can be interpreted to mean that 'we will provide economic support in parenting'. Then, how will the child's child support expenses between Jung Woo-sung and Mun Ga-bi be determined?

First, various factors such as parents' income, property, children's age, and parenting environment are considered in the calculation of child support costs. According to the revised child support calculation standard in 2021, child support can be calculated from a minimum of 621,000 won to a maximum of 2.883 million won based on the combined income of parents and the age of their children. Considering the income of Jung Woo-sung and Mun Ga-bi, more child support is expected to be calculated.

In response, Noh Jong-eon, a lawyer with the existence of a law firm, said, "The standard table for calculating child support expenses is not legally binding. The court does not necessarily calculate child support expenses according to that standard table, he said. "Even if an agreement on this part is not reached and goes to court, it cannot be seen that it will result in favor of either side."

Lawyer Roh then said, "The biggest blind spot of the child support system, in particular, is that it does not take into account the fact that the main caregiver cannot do profit activities when he or she leaves his or her job and becomes a full-time housewife. "From the perspective of Mun Ga-bi, it is much more advantageous to write a clear contract than to have a legal dispute with Jung Woo-sung over the payment of child support," he explained.
