T-ara’s Jiyeon is preparing to return to YouTube activities, according to an OSEN report on the 5th. Jiyeon’s representative confirmed that she is planning to resume uploading on YouTube, although the specific timing has not been revealed.
Jiyeon had suddenly stopped uploading videos on her YouTube channel in June, citing personal reasons. This decision sparked rumors of her divorce from baseball player Hwang Jae-gyun, which were further fueled by commentator Lee Kwang-gil’s remarks during a radio broadcast.
However, Jiyeon’s former agency denied the divorce rumors, and commentator Lee Kwang-gil apologized for spreading unconfirmed information. Despite this, the rumors persisted, and Jiyeon’s social media activities came to a halt.
Recently, Jiyeon uploaded a photo of herself on Instagram, sparking rumors of her return to activities. According to OSEN, Jiyeon is indeed planning to start YouTube again soon.

OSEN obtained a report on Hwang Jae-gyun’s current status and photos from the scene. According to the informant, Hwang Jae-gyun was seen drinking with acquaintances at a bar until 6 a.m. during the important regular league season and ahead of the upcoming fall baseball season.
Photos and videos taken at the scene captured Hwang Jae-gyun talking to acquaintances among customers drinking until 6 a.m., drawing attention. An official from KT Wiz, which Hwang Jae-gyun plays for, confirmed that he had indeed gone out for drinks, but stated that it did not interfere with the game.
However, regarding reports that he had drinks with members of the opposite sex, the official was tight-lipped, saying that it was difficult for the team to provide a separate answer as to who he drank with, etc., as that was the player’s private life.
Hwang Jae-gyun was recently substituted in a game due to a herniated disc in his lower back. He will continue to receive treatment while accompanying the team, and his condition will be monitored.
