Above all, the suspicion could be burdensome for Hwang Jae-gyun, who is playing every day in the middle of the season. In fact, baseball is famous as a sport that is heavily psychologically influenced. As a result, it is observed that Hwang Jae-gyun is struggling with the rumor of an unexpected divorce and cannot produce results, and furthermore, it could be a nuisance to his team, ktWiz.

Ironically, however, Hwang Jae-gyun's performance has been on the rise since the 25th, when rumors of divorce originally arose. First of all, Hwang Jae-gyun was not in the starting lineup in the game against the SSG Landers at Munhak Stadium in Incheon on the 25th, but he played as a substitute for Hong Hyun-bin in the top of the fourth inning. During the KT Wiz attack on the day, he took the batter's box three times in the top of the fourth inning, the top of the seventh inning, and the top of the eighth inning.




In the fourth inning, he was thrown out to right field with one out and a runner on second base, but in the seventh inning, he made the runner move one more base to a sacrifice bunt with no outs and runners on first base. At the time of the eighth inning, runners were on the first and third bases with two outs, and they entered the batter's box with a run scored.

It was a moment when Hwang Jae-kyun's shoulders were heavy depending on whether he could continue the team's momentum or break it. At the ball count of 2-2, Hwang Jae-gyun, who went all the way to the seventh with two fouls, finally hit a left-field double, bringing all the runners on the base home. That means he scored two RBIs.

On this day, ktWiz scored three points in the third inning and helped three more points in the eighth inning to beat SSG Landers with a final score of 6-1. Considering that Hwang was absent in the third inning, it can be said that Hwang contributed greatly to making two of the team's three points.




Of course, since he was playing at the time, Hwang Jae-gyun may not have known that his divorce was mentioned. However, the next day, the game on the 26th, is in a different situation. Until 6:30 p.m., the start of the game, rumors of Hwang Jae-gyun and Ji-yeon's divorce were ranked in the list of portal site entertainment news.

Looking at the above three games, Hwang Jae-gyun continued his remarkable record of batting average of 0.500 from the 25th when rumors of divorce first spread, to the 26th and 27th when the wavelength was growing. In particular, Bada recorded 0 for 2 in the match against LG Twins on the 23rd, just before rumors of divorce, and 0 for 1 in the match against Lotte Giants on the 20th, just before that.

In addition, looking at these previous records, it is the first time since May that Hwang Jae-kyun has boasted more than 50% of his hitting sense in a row as in the last three games.

As a famous baseball player from the national team and a star from a popular girl group, it is said that if the divorce is not true, the image could be damaged.

Above all, given that SNS and YouTube channels, where the two were newlyweds, were temporarily closed, it seems that the spark of 'divorce suspicion' is alive.

I'll come back with a bright side" left a message.
