Hwang Jae-gyun's divorce has once again become a topic of discussion. The baseball star, who married T-ara's Jiyeon in 2022, faced multiple rumors of separation and divorce before officially parting ways in October 2024.
On the October 14th episode of JTBC's 'Yes Man,' airing at 7:10 PM, Hwang Jae-gyun, known for his memorable Major League debut home run, joins the show following the elimination of soccer legend Kim Young-kwang. With Jung Chan-sung absent due to injury, Yoon Suk-min steps in to showcase his variety show skills, raising anticipation for the chemistry between the two baseball legends.
The episode kicks off with a lively exchange between Ha Seung-jin and Hwang Jae-gyun. Known as a fan of the Suwon Wiz, Ha Seung-jin greets Hwang with a provocative remark, "You can join 'I Live Alone' again now, right?" referencing Hwang's recent single status. As Ha continues to tease Hwang about a past bench-clearing incident, Hwang humorously retorts, "Are you really a fan of our team?" prompting laughter. Lee Hyung-taek chimes in, "Can you even pass through the Suwon tollgate now?"
The show also delves into the harsh training culture and discipline stories of the legends. Baseball representative Yoon Suk-min recalls, "During a 50-day training camp, we had to gather 150 times," expressing disbelief at the memory. Archer Ki Bo-bae shares, "To go out, we had to report to every senior," highlighting the strict hierarchy in archery. Kim Nam-il reveals, "I think senior Ahn Jung-hwan is a real stickler," to which Ahn immediately responds, "When did I ever do that?"
'Coach Seo' Seo Jang-hoon's struggles as a rookie are also shared. While discussing other sports, he notes, "Basketball is relatively free," but quickly adds, "After games, I had to hand wash clothes all day," and "It was hard to play in good condition," revealing his challenges. The unexpected confession prompts both teasing and sympathy from the cast, with comments like "Coach Seo is crying" and "Poor thing," adding to the anticipation.
