According to an exclusive report by OSEN on September 5th, a tip-off was received along with photos showing Hwang Jae-gyun at a drinking party that lasted from late at night until morning, with both men and women present.
In response, Hwang’s side confirmed, “It’s true that he was at a drinking gathering, but we cannot comment on the identities of those present as it is a private matter.“
The person who reported the sighting also shared photos of Hwang drinking with acquaintances at a bar.
The tipster added, “As the senior-most player of KT Wiz, it is hard to understand why a married man would be drinking with a woman until dawn during an important season, especially right before the postseason.“
Additional reports have surfaced on YouTube and online communities, with more sightings of Hwang Jae-gyun drinking late into the night with male and female acquaintances.
A KT Wiz representative answered OSEN, “We can confirm that Hwang Jae-gyun drank with others in Seoul until the morning after returning from a game in Daejeon on August 31st. It was a rest day with no game scheduled, so it did not affect his performance.“
Regarding the reports of him drinking with a woman, the representative cautiously stated, “As the identities of those present are part of the player’s private life, the club cannot provide further comments.“
Jiyeon and Hwang Jae-gyun, who married in 2022, were recently embroiled in divorce rumors after commentator Lee Kwang-gil mentioned Hwang’s divorce during a baseball game broadcast.
In June, Lee Kwang-gil sparked controversy by casually mentioning Hwang Jae-gyun’s divorce during a break in the game broadcast. The comment, which was live-streamed on a YouTube channel, quickly became a hot topic.
Now, with reports of Hwang Jae-gyun’s late-night drinking surfacing, the public’s interest in his marriage with Jiyeon has intensified.
