T-Ara Jiyeon Receives Backflash After Her Husband’s Reckless Move : ‘Warn Your Husband Properly’

In a clash that transcended the boundaries of the baseball diamond, the 8th match of the 2024 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League between KT Wiz and Hanwha Eagles, held at Suwon KT Wiz Park on June 5th, ended in a resounding victory for Hanwha, securing a 12-2 win and marking a successful streak for the team.

However, the jubilation of Hanwha’s victory was soon overshadowed by a post-game incident involving KT players, adding an unexpected layer of drama to the already intense matchup.

The incident unfolded in the bottom of the 8th inning when Hanwha’s Park Sang-won’s strikeout celebration, amidst their significant lead, triggered a wave of displeasure from the KT camp, with player Jang Sung-woo and others voicing their immediate objections.

Efforts to defuse the tension saw Hanwha’s pitching coach, Park Seung-min, and veteran player Ryu Hyun-jin extending apologies to the KT bench in an attempt to quell the escalating emotions.

Despite these efforts, the situation took an unexpected turn when KT player Hwang Jae-gyun, unable to contain his anger, confronted Park Sang-won on the field after the game concluded.

The heated confrontation led to a bench-clearing altercation, eventually diffused by the intervention of both teams’ managers and seasoned players.

However, the fallout extended beyond the realm of sportsmanship as baseball fans directed their ire towards a surprising target: Jiyeon, the wife of Hwang Jae-gyun.

In the aftermath of the incident, Jiyeon found herself inundated with a deluge of negative comments on her social media accounts, including platforms like SNS and YouTube.

Critics took aim at Jiyeon with remarks echoing across the cyberspace.

Despite the barrage of criticism, there were voices advocating for restraint and empathy.

HERE ARE SOME OF THE NETIZENS’ COMMENTS:

“Warn your husband properly”

“Professionals should act professionally”

“Your husband needs to manage his temper”

“Why take out anger on an unrelated person?”

“It’s chaos on the player’s wife’s SNS not her”

Supporters rallied behind Jiyeon, questioning the logic of directing anger towards an unrelated individual and condemning the chaotic atmosphere that permeated her social media channels.

As the storm of controversy rages on, it’s worth noting that Jiyeon’s connection to the incident stems from her marriage to baseball player Hwang Jae-gyun, tying her fate to the tumultuous events that unfolded on the baseball field.

Married in December 2022, Jiyeon finds herself thrust into the spotlight, not for her own actions but as a collateral target of the fervent emotions ignited by the clash between KT Wiz and Hanwha Eagles.
