Singer and actress Jiyeon, formerly of T-ara, along with baseball player Hwang Jae Gyun, faced rumors of divorce just two years after their marriage.

On June 25th, a representative from Jiyeon's side clarified, "After confirming directly with Jiyeon, the rumors of their divorce are baseless."

Speculation about Jiyeon and Hwang Jae Gyun's divorce began circulating online after claims made by broadcasters during a live broadcast on KNN Radio in the Busan-Gyeongnam area. During a game involving the Lotte Giants and Kia Tigers, the announcer mentioned their divorce, which sparked widespread rumors.

The announcer's comment, suggesting that Hwang Jae Gyun's recent performance might be affected by marital issues, was captured in a visible radio clip on YouTube, despite not being aired during commercial breaks.

Additionally, suspicions grew when Jiyeon posted on her YouTube channel's community tab on the 20th, stating, "Due to personal reasons, it seems uploading videos will be difficult for a while. Thank you for your understanding. I will return with a bright appearance."

However, Jiyeon's representative firmly denied these rumors, attributing them to misunderstanding.

Jiyeon and Hwang Jae Gyun married in December 2022, and Jiyeon had previously shared their married life openly on her YouTube channel.

Recently, she expressed hopes of expanding their family with a second child.

BLACKPINK’s Jisoo shared a surprising story from her trainee days!

On January 29, the latest episode of Dex’s Fridge Interview was released on YouTube. During the chat, Dex asked Jisoo if she ever rebelled or broke the rules as a trainee. She confidently replied, “Not at all. The only rebellion I had as a trainee was eating.”

Dex then jokingly imitated her younger self, saying, “I’m perfect, so why are they telling me not to eat? I’m going to eat tteokbokki!”

Jisoo laughed and admitted, “Actually, I was really chubby back then. They kept telling me to lose weight, but I always said, ‘No, I need to eat. I like myself chubby.’”

She even recalled a moment with YG Entertainment’s founder, Yang Hyun Suk:
“The boss told me to lose weight, and I responded like that. He just walked away, thinking, ‘She’s a weird one.’ I literally said, ‘No! I like myself chubby!’”

Jisoo then revealed that after she debuted, she naturally lost weight. She added, “Later, after I debuted and naturally lost weight, he was like, ‘You didn’t lose weight when I told you to, but now that you debuted, you did.’”

Fans are loving Jisoo’s confidence and honesty! Meanwhile, her full interview on Dex’s Fridge Interview is now available on YouTube.
