T-ara’s Jiyeon (31) and professional baseball player Hwang Jae Gyun (37) have officially filed for divorce, with mediation expected to take place soon. The couple, who tied the knot in December 2022, had been facing split rumors since June of this year. These rumors surfaced after a commentator made hints about their relationship during a broadcast, shortly before Jiyeon took a break from her YouTube activities following an on-field controversy involving Hwang.
K-Netizens Reactions:
The couple’s relationship, which had seemed strong, has now reached its end, with netizens expressing their thoughts. Here’s a look at how K-netizens have reacted to the news:
- “Making such a fuss about being a loving couple…”

- “Sometimes just by reading the headlines, it seems like it’s a love for the ages, but it didn’t even last 2 years. They seemed to like each other so much—why did it end?”
