Many are expressing their delight at Jiyeon’s return to activity.

In June, Jiyeon was caught up in divorce rumors with her baseball player husband, Hwang Jae-kyun. During a broadcast by KNN, a regional sports channel in Busan and Gyeongnam, a conversation included the question, “Did you know Hwang Jae-kyun is divorced?” Although this conversation was not aired, it was released on the YouTube channel “Visible Radio,” leading to the rapid spread of the divorce rumors across various online communities. The broadcasting team later apologized, saying, “There was a misunderstanding.”

Jiyeon’s former agency also stated, “After confirming with her, the divorce rumors are not true.” Nonetheless, Jiyeon’s lack of a wedding ring was noted, which further fueled the divorce speculation.

Prior to these rumors, Jiyeon had been suffering from negative comments due to Hwang Jae-kyun’s bench-clearing incident. As a result, she eventually suspended activities on her online channel ‘Jiyeon JIYEON.’

Meanwhile, Jiyeon, who debuted with T-ara in 2009, gained significant popularity with numerous hit songs such as “Roly-Poly,” “Crazy Because of You,” and “Bo Peep Bo Peep.” Jiyeon and Hwang Jae-kyun were married in December 2022.
