Actor Hwang Jung-eum's new love turned out to be Kim Jong-gyu, a basketball player seven years his junior.

"Hwang Jung-eum is recently developing a pretty love with Kim Jong-kyu, a basketball player who is seven years younger than Wonju DB Promy," Sportb News reported on the 22nd.

Earlier on this day, Hwang Jung-eum stated his position that "It is right that I have recently had a good relationship with basketball star A". As a result, basketball star A was found to be Kim Jong-gyu.

Kim Jong-kyu, a member of Wonju DB Promy, is 33 years old this year and Hwang Jung-eum is 40 years old, and the two overcame the age difference of seven years and began a careful romantic relationship.

In addition, Hwang Jung-eum is reportedly filing for divorce, but she is not conscious of her surrounding eyes in public and is enjoying dating by focusing on their own time.

A close aide to Hwang added that they got to know each other when they were having a hard time, comforting each other and getting close.

Meanwhile, 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 had a second son in 2022, but in February, he said he was in the process of adjusting for divorce.

In the process, Hwang Jung-eum also drew attention by posting an article suggesting her husband's affair through her personal account. However, he was accused of defamation by posting an article that wrongly identified him as an affair partner.

Hwang's new lover, Kim Jong-kyu, has been a national basketball player for 14 years. Debuting as a professional player in 2013, he is currently considered a key player in Wonju DB. Last season, he averaged 11.9 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks, helping his team rank first in the regular league.

Kim Jong-kyu, who appeared on KBS 2TV entertainment program 『The boss's ears are donkey ears" in 2019, was nicknamed 「Changwon LG's Lee Min-ho" as an idol star in the basketball world at the time. In response, Kim Jong-gyu also showed humility, saying, `I'm not saying that, but because people in Changwon like me so much.'
