Hong Jin-kyung's Han River Encounter Revealed on 'Problematic Men'

A surprising revelation about Hong Jin-kyung (48), who announced her divorce last August after 22 years of marriage, has emerged.

On the upcoming episode of KBS2's 'Problematic Men' airing on the 23rd, legendary KBO League players turned baseball coaches, Park Yong-taek and Kim Tae-kyun, will make an appearance.

During the show, Park Yong-taek shares a past encounter with Hong Jin-kyung at the Han River, capturing everyone's attention. Park reveals that he saw Hong Jin-kyung at the Han River riverside during his high school days. Upon hearing Park's account, Hong Jin-kyung immediately seeks to verify the facts. The full story of Park Yong-taek's Han River sighting of Hong Jin-kyung will be unveiled in the broadcast.

Meanwhile, Kim Tae-kyun raises eyebrows by suggesting that Park Yong-taek's emotional broadcast was staged. Park, who earned the nickname 'Crying Taek' after shedding tears during a broadcast when South Korea's national baseball team reached the WBC quarterfinals for the first time in 17 years, shares that he received over 3,000 messages, many questioning if he was experiencing menopause, which brought laughter.

Kim Tae-kyun claims that Park's tears were a strategic move to boost ratings during a time when viewership was declining, suggesting the emotional broadcast was orchestrated.

Additionally, Kim Tae-kyun's lavish past is revealed, boasting a cumulative salary of 20 billion won. As the first KBO player to earn a 1 billion won annual salary and holding the title of salary king for five consecutive years, Kim confesses to owning six supercars. He shares an anecdote about competing with global soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo, buying the same supercars Ronaldo posted online.

'Problematic Men' airs on the 23rd at 8:30 PM.
