Last month, Jiyeon posted several photos showing her current status on her personal Instagram account without any specific comments. Under the post, many netizens left messages of support such as, “No matter what others say, you are the best”, “We will support you whatever decision you make”, AND “I hope you are always happy.”
Previously, Jiyeon married baseball player Hwang Jae-gyun in 2022, which received congratulations from many. However, recently, rumors of divorce have surfaced. The speculation began when it was mentioned on NN PowerFM radio by commentator Lee Gwang-gil and a host. A representative from Jiyeon’s former agency denied the rumor, stating that Jiyeon confirmed that it was not true.
Before the divorce rumors, Hwang Jae-gyun was criticized for a bench-clearing incident during a game in June. As a result, malicious comments were also directed at Jiyeon’s personal Instagram and YouTube channels, leading her to temporarily stop her YouTube activities.
On September 5, OSEN reported that Hwang Jae-gyun was drinking at a bar until 6 a.m. According to the report, he was drinking with a group that included women until the early hours of the morning. A representative from KT Wiz clarified to OSEN that Hwang Jae-gyun confirmed that he was drinking until the morning of September 1 after a match in Daejeon, stating that it was his day off with no scheduled matches or practices.
Meanwhile, Jiyeon recently announced her comeback on YouTube.
