T-ARA’s Jiyeon Updates Fans After Heartbreaking Sighting Of Her Crying
On October 5, 2024 (KST), Korean news outlets confirmed in reports that T-ARA‘s Jiyeon and baseball star Hwang Jae Gyun have filed for divorce. The official update came after the couple dodged and/or denied the divorce speculation for months.
Then, a few days after the news, Jiyeon was spotted in Macao at the fanmeeting held to celebrate T-ARA’s 15th debut anniversary. The event marked the idol’s first public appearance since the announcement of her divorce—so when she got emotional and burst into tears at the end of the event, she made headlines for her emotional response.

As Jiyeon commented through her divorce attorney, it seems the idol is indeed striving to “bring better news” for her fans.
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.
