Former baseball player Hwang Jae-gyun will appear on "Omniscient Interfering View" after announcing his retirement.
The preview at the end of the MBC "Omniscient Interfering View" episode that aired on the 24th revealed the daily life of Hwang Jae-gyun, who recently announced his retirement.
That day Hwang revealed his new home, from a room displaying trophies he received during his baseball career to a room packed with hobby items. However, Hwang was sleeping in bed even at the time he would normally have morning training. In response, Hwang's manager, his friend of 22 years, reported, "(After retirement) he sleeps a lot, eats a lot, and lies down a lot. He's half unemployed."
The manager said, "Honestly, he probably doesn't think about baseball yet. But since all he has done until now is baseball, he will feel very empty and miss it. Sometimes he spaces out and looks out the window." In fact, Jamsil Baseball Stadium can be seen from Hwang Jae-gyun's home.
As Hwang Jae-gyun's daily life was revealed in earnest, he met his peers born in 1987 Ryu Hyun-jin, Yang Eui-ji and Kim Hyun-soo. Ryu Hyun-jin exposed his postretirement routine, saying, "Jae-gyun exercises three times a day," and Hwang explained, "Still, you have to stay healthy, right?"
Hearing this, Yang Eui-ji and Kim Hyun-soo fired blunt remarks that only close friends could make: "You're going to rest anyway," and "You're alone anyway, and besides."
Hwang Jae-gyun also opened up about the 고민 he had before deciding to retire. When asked, "Do you have any lingering attachment to baseball?" he said, "I do feel regret," adding, "Everyone around me advised against it. They told me to think it over. But I think it's meaningless if I'm not satisfied."
Meanwhile, Hwang Jae-gyun married T-ara member Ji-yeon in 2022 but faced divorce two years into the marriage. Hwang, who joined Hyundai as the 24th pick in the third round of the second round of the 2006 rookie draft, recently decided to retire.
