T-ARA’s Jiyeon Wipes Ex-Husband From Her Platforms Following His Divorce Statement

After dodging rumor after rumor for months, it was confirmed after all that T-ARA member Jiyeon and baseball star Hwang Jae Gyun have filed for divorce. After the news broke, Jiyeon asked for grace in a short statement given shared alongside her divorce attorney’s statement.

Hello, this is Jiyeon. First of all, I want to express my apologies for greeting you with unfortunate news. [Hwang Jae Gyun and I] have mutually agreed to undergo mediation procedures for our divorce. I ask for your understanding for not addressing this matter sooner. I will strive to greet you with better news in the future. Thank you.

— Jiyeon

Hwang Jae Gyun also admitted to the divorce, citing “personality differences” as the reason for their split. He added that both Jiyeon and he agreed to continue supporting each other moving forward.

Jiyeon and I have agreed to get a divorce after much consideration due to personality differences. We have already submitted a divorce mediation application to the Seoul Family Court and plan to conclude the process amicably.

Although our relationship as a couple has ended, we will continue to support each other’s paths moving forward. I sincerely apologize to our fans for any disappointment this may have caused.

— Hwang Jae Gyun

Jiyeon then took to her Instagram and wiped all traces of her now ex-husband from the feed, amid a flood of comments sending love and support her way.

• “Just don’t look at the news for a while. Eat well. Korea is a great place to live, but it can also be a terrifying and difficult place. Hang in there.”
• “Doesn’t matter what people say, you’re the best. You are the only thing that your fans need, so do whatever your heart desires. You’re always right.”
• “Hwaiting, Jiyeon!”
• “Hang in there, Jiyeon. Know that there are tons of people rooting for you through this.”
