Former baseball player Hwang Jae-gyun has joined Tving's new original program, and he is attracting attention as he continues to lose weight day by day.
After retiring as an active baseball player, Hwang Jae-gyun signed an exclusive contract with the entertainment agency SM C&C and began full-scale broadcasting activities. Disney+ teamed up with PD Hyun Jung-wan of "Bloody Game" to launch a new survival variety show "Sulrae Game," and Hwang Jae-gyun's name was included on the cast lineup, drawing attention. In addition, on the 14th, CJ ENM announced that the Tving original dating program "Enemies in the outfield seats♥," which depicts the direct-romance of rival team fans, will be released in September.
Enemies in the outfield seats♥ is a dating program in which men and women who support different teams watch a game together at the baseball stadium and seek connections. The producers will identify participants' ideal types and make matches, and it vividly captures the rivalry between fans and the strange lines of affection amid the shifting excitement of the stands depending on the game situation.
In particular, Hwang Jae-gyun, who played in both Major League Baseball and the KBO and is scheduled to hold a retirement ceremony in September, will sit not on the field but in the "dating commentary box" and analyze the flow of the game and the dates simultaneously from the perspective of a baseball expert.
Above all, Hwang Jae-gyun has recently attracted attention by joining the "skinny-star" roster despite not being a female celebrity. His face and body, now half of what they were during his active career, are drawing attention. He was even spotted doing high-intensity training with wrestler Jang Eun-sil, with long hair evoking Jang Hyuk's look and a "chuno visual" style.
Meanwhile, Hwang Jae-gyun's retirement ceremony, which was scheduled for this month, was temporarily postponed due to the heat wave, and on his personal social media he wrote, "The retirement ceremony has been temporarily postponed because of the heat wave. It's regrettable, but we will meet again on a safer and better day," adding, "Please wait a little longer. I will give the final farewell properly. To be continued…".
