Former baseball player and broadcaster Hwang Jae-gyun surprised viewers with a face so changed he was unrecognizable.
On the 27th, the TVING Sports official account uploaded a post titled "Chuno appeared on TVING" along with a clip from 'TVING super match'.
In the video, Jeong Geun-woo, while preparing for filming, spotted long-haired Hwang Jae-gyun and exclaimed, "Today you totally look like Jang Hyuk?" In fact, Hwang Jae-gyun attracted attention with his hair grown long enough to cover his neck, tied back, and his bangs swept back.
In response, Hwang Jae-gyun admitted, "Chuno," and joked, "Someone needs to go beat someone up right now." When asked, "How long will you grow your hair?" he explained, "I'm continuing to grow it. Until I can tie it by myself."
He added jokingly, "Until the comments stop telling me to cut my hair. If even one says it, I'll keep growing it. If none say it later, I'll be the one writing 'cut your hair'."
In particular, Hwang Jae-gyun drew attention not only for his long hair but also for looking so gaunt that he appeared to have lost a lot of weight. Netizens who saw his surprising condition expressed shock, saying, "I want to see the neat Hwang Jae-gyun, it really doesn't suit him," "Are those two antennae crickets?", "Cut your hair," "Why did you lose so much weight?", "You look older because you lost so much weight," and "Aren't you sick?"
Meanwhile, Hwang Jae-gyun married T-ara member Ji-yeon in 2022, but after repeated divorce rumors he finalized divorce mediation in November 2024, bringing his marriage to an end. After retiring from baseball last year, he signed an exclusive contract with SM C&C in February of this year and transitioned to a career as a broadcaster, and he is currently active as a TVING baseball commentator.
