Cha Seung-won, "The truth about Noah's birth was told 16 years ago"

While actorCha Seung-wonannounced that he's not the biological father of his son Noah, apparently him and his wife already spilled the beans to the media 16 years ago.

Kim Dae-oh, a reporter from Oh My News reported on the 6th, "Cha Seung-wonand his wife Lee Soo-jin had an interview with Women's Daily in 1998 and admitted that Noah wasn'tCha Seung-won's son".

When the reporter found out this fact, "Thinking about the 8-year old Noah and his future, I couldn't report it the way I had heard it, so I shut my mouth".

According to the report, Kim Dae-oh didn't mention anything else about Noah's birth for 10 or more years until Noah became accused for sexual harassment.

Cha Seung-wonhad said then, "No matter what anyone says, Noah is my son. My son doesn't lie to me. I will reveal the truth and stand by him no matter what happens to my celebrity image".

Meanwhile, Kim interviewedCha Seung-wonthe day before his official statement was released.

During the interview, Cha said, "First of all, I'm worried about Noah, but he's calm. It's like he knew about it before and this is the first time we've talked about it together. We had to tell him the truth and he took it well. He comforted us".

"If lies about Noah become a problem, I am going to take full responsibility. However, I think that's up to Noah and I. I don't know how far this is going to go, but we are going to love each other more and become stronger".

Netizens say, "Cha Seung-wonhas him in his heart", "The reporter andCha Seung-wonlook pretty close", "Props to the reporter who shut his mouth this entire time" and more.
