T-ara's Jiyeon (31) and baseball player Hwang Jae Gyun (37) have filed for divorce, with mediation expected soon.
Rumors of their split began in June after a commentator hinted at it on air, around the time Jiyeon paused her YouTube activities following Hwang’s on-field controversy. The couple married in December 2022.
Here are how K-netizens are reacting to the news:
"Making such a fuss about being a loving couple..."
"Well, where there's smoke, there's fire..."
"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?"
"LOL, it was a combination that felt like a mismatched button."
"As expected... today too, nothing changes."
"The caster's comment was right."
"She's not really the type to live as the wife of an athlete."
"It was already predictable, so it's not really surprising..."
"That's why celebrities and athletes should be careful about showing off on social media. There's no need to flaunt happiness to others..."
"These athletes love having their wives at home while stay out drinking with women until dawn."
