Actress Hwang Jung-eum is known to be in a relationship five months after announcing her divorce, and her partner is basketball player Kim Jong-gyu.

According to Ten Asia's coverage on the 22nd, it was revealed that the basketball star that Hwang Jeong-eum has been meeting recently is Kim Jong-gyu.

Kim Jong-gyu is a professional basketball center for Wonju DB Promy and was born in 1991. He is 7 years younger than Hwang Jeong-eum, born in 1984.

On this day, Hwang Jung-eum's agency, Y1 Entertainment, said, "Hwang Jung-eum and basketball star A have recently developed a crush," and added, "They are still in the stage of carefully getting to know each other."

According to the broadcasting industry, Hwang Jung-eum was recently spotted dating basketball star A. It is said that the two enjoyed their alone time even in public places without being conscious of the gaze of those around them.

Last February, Hwang Jung-eum announced the news of her divorce from golfer Lee Young-don after eight years of marriage. Hwang Jung-eum and Lee Young-don married in 2016, gave birth to their first son in 2017, and filed for divorce in 2020. The two resolved their conflict and reunited and had a second son in 2022, but their relationship broke up in 2024.

Hwang Jeong-eum attracted attention by leaving a post on social media that seemed to imply an inappropriate relationship with Lee Young-don. It was also known that he lent about 900 million won to Lee Young-don and later filed a civil suit because he was unable to get it back.
