'Hwang Jung-eum ♥' Basketball star Kim Jong-gyu was the owner of the Gangnam building 'He's seven years younger than Young & Rich'
Actor Hwang Jung-eum's new love was basketball player Kim Jong-kyu, seven years his junior, and he was a Gangnam building owner.

On the 22nd, Hwang Jung-eum admitted that she had a romantic relationship with a basketball star, saying, `It is right that I have recently had a good relationship with a basketball star.'" he said.

However, according to the sports world, Kim Jong-kyu was designated as a basketball player A, who enjoyed an open date with Hwang Jung-eum. Kim Jong-kyu is a member of Wonju DB Promy and is seven years younger than Hwang Jung-eum and has played for the national team for 14 years.

He is 206cm tall, 104.5kg weight, and 204cm wingspan, and his position is center. Hwang Jung-eum is 40 years old and Kim Jong-kyu is 33 years old, and the two have reportedly continued their public relationship without being conscious of their surroundings, such as enjoying dates in public places.

Hwang Jung-eum, a close aide, added "I got to know Hwang Jung-eum, who is in a divorce lawsuit, when she was having a hard time, so we became close by comforting each other."

Kim Jong-kyu is considered one of the highest-paid players in KBL history with a cumulative annual salary of nearly 5 billion won.

In particular, Kim Jong-gyu signed a contract to purchase buildings for housing and neighborhood living facilities located in Nonhyeon-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul by investing 4.45 billion won at the age of 31 in 2022. At that time, the two-story building was currently built as a four-story branch building on the first basement floor and owns 100% of the shares under the name of the corporation.

Earlier, Hwang Jung-eum married Lee Young-don, a former golfer-turned-businessman, in 2016 and had a son the following year, but faced a crisis of breaking up once in 2020. However, he later reunited and gave birth to his second son in 2022, but in February, he said he was in the process of adjusting for divorce. Later, during the divorce proceedings, Hwang Jung-eum drew attention by posting an article suggesting her husband's affair through her personal account. However, he has been accused of defamation by posting an article that incorrectly identifies an unrelated ordinary person.

Meanwhile, Hwang Jung-eum is on a break after the end of the drama 'Seven Resurrection'.
