According to JTBC News, the couple filed for divorce mediation at the Seoul Family Court last month and are in the process of divorcing.
Jiyeon and Hwang Jae Gyun got married in December 2022. After living together with the famous baseball player, Jiyeon often shares about her sweet and happy married life on her YouTube channel.
But in June this year, Hwang Jae Gyun was embroiled in controversy due to a scuffle with an opponent during a match. This affected Jiyeon, who had to endure many malicious comments because of her husband's incident.
At that time, Jiyeon announced that she would temporarily stop working on YouTube and social media accounts for personal reasons, causing confusion among fans.
In that situation, an announcer of Busan - Gyeongnam regional TV station mentioned the rumor that Hwang Jae Gyun and Jiyeon were divorced. The TV station later apologized for the announcer's statement and said it was careless. Meanwhile, Jiyeon's former colleague affirmed: "The divorce rumor is baseless."
However, in early September, Hwang Jae Gyun was found drinking at a bar with a member of the opposite sex until early morning. A video clip of Hwang Jae Gyun at the bar was provided as evidence.
At that time, Hwang Jae Gyun's representative stated: "It is true that he went drinking, but we cannot confirm who he went with because it is a private matter."
Meanwhile, Jiyeon's close associate told the media: "Seeing such photos can be hurtful, so we need to be careful."
Finally, the couple "went their separate ways" after nearly 2 years of marriage.
