On October 5, Jiyeon’s legal representative announced the divorce between her and Hwang Jae-kyun, saying, “The two parties could not overcome each other’s differences, so they decided to divorce after separation and filed a divorce mediation application with the Seoul Family Court to proceed with the trial. Then he said: “We sincerely ask you to refrain from inflammatory posts and speculative comments.“
Jiyeon also said through her legal representative: “I apologize for the bad news. We have arrived at proceeding with the mediation process for the divorce by mutual consent. Please understand that I was unable to express my position quickly. I will try to meet you in a better way in the future.“
Hwang Jae-gyun said: “First of all, I would like to apologize for the bad news to many fans. Jiyeon and I decided to divorce post-separation after agonizing over our personality differences. We have already submitted an application for divorce mediation to the Seoul Family Court and will conclude it smoothly through the mediation procedures.“
“Even if our relationship as a couple is over, we will continue to support each other on the journey,“he added. “I am sorry once again for disappointing fans and respectfully ask that you refrain from indiscriminate speculation and posts.“
Previously, rumors of Jiyeon and Hwang Jae-gyun’s divorce first surfaced in June. A commentator who was broadcasting baseball on KNN radio in Busan and South Gyeongsang Province said: “You know what? Hwang Jae-gyun is divorced.” At the time, Jiyeon denied the divorce theory.
However, Jiyeon’s post on the YouTube channel community states: “For the moment it will be difficult for me to upload videos to YouTube due to personal circumstances, so I ask for your understanding.“ At the same time, the wedding ring was found missing in Ji-yeon’s hand, increasing suspicion.
Also last month, Hwang Jae-gyun was seen drinking until dawn with an unknown girl at a pub in Gangnam, Seoul, hinting at a rift in his relationship with his wife.
Netizens who heard the news of their divorce responded, “I hope you find your happiness,” “If the personality doesn’t fit, it’s wise to leave you soon,” “I support you both,” “It might be because love and marriage are different,” and “You just have to live well in the future .”
