Former Baseball Star Hwang Jae-gyun Joins 'Yes Man' After Divorce from T-ara's Jiyeon

Former baseball player Hwang Jae-gyun, who recently divorced T-ara's Jiyeon, is set to make his variety show debut on 'Yes Man'. Hwang has signed an exclusive contract with SM C&C, marking a fresh start in his career.

On the upcoming episode of JTBC's 'Yes Man', airing on the 14th, Hwang Jae-gyun, a key player in securing two consecutive gold medals in baseball at the Asian Games, will join as a new member, shaking things up. Additionally, Yoon Seok-min, the first winner who was eliminated in the third episode, will rejoin the show, filling in for Jung Chan-sung, who is absent due to an injury.

Hwang and Yoon make a striking entrance, dominating the studio with their presence. Without any introduction, they walk to the center stage and dive straight into an AI dance challenge, delivering an unexpectedly sharp performance that surprises everyone. Ha Seung-jin exclaims, "Why are they so good?" while Lee Hyung-taek applauds, saying, "Yoon Seok-min came prepared."

Both express their unique determination for appearing on 'Yes Man'. Yoon Seok-min shares, "Not dancing last time kept bothering me," and adds humorously, "I lost 4kg after practicing for two weeks." Hwang Jae-gyun, making his variety show debut just two months after announcing his retirement, candidly admits, "Watching 'Yes Man' at home, I thought, 'I retired to be on this show,'" and reveals he accepted the offer in just one second.

'Yes Man' airs at 7:10 PM.
