Former baseball player Hwang Jae-gyun revealed his true feelings about having a second generation.
On the 31st, the MBC variety show Omniscient Interfering View (hereafter "Omniscient Interfering View") episode 383, which aired yesterday, revealed Hwang Jae-gyun living a new life after retiring from active play. Along with the lifestyle changes after putting baseball aside, his views on family and thoughts about the future were naturally conveyed.
That day Hwang Jae-gyun drew attention by visiting his manager's children and spending time with them in person. When people nearby said, "He really seems to like children," he laughed openly, saying, "I really like kids." The manager also acknowledged his exceptional affection, saying, "If Hwang Jae-gyun Jr. is born, it will really be chaos."
The conversation naturally moved to Hwang Jae-gyun's plans for a second child. He honestly said, "I want to have a son and let him try baseball," which stirred the studio. When asked, "Wouldn't a daughter be good too?" he nodded and smiled, saying, "That's true, too."
In particular, Hwang Jae-gyun said that the existence of his nephew greatly moved him. He confessed, "Since my nephew was born, my thinking has changed a lot," and "I often think, 'I also want to have my own child someday,'" showing how the direction of life after retirement has changed and how his concerns about family have deepened.
Meanwhile, Hwang Jae-gyun married Jiyeon, formerly of the group T-ara, in December 2022, but their marriage ended when a divorce mediation was finalized through Seoul Family Court in November 2024. After experiencing both divorce and retirement, the change in Hwang Jae-gyun—talking about his life in a calmer and more candid way—was portrayed strikingly.<
