Former baseball player Hwang Jae-gyun faces a situation in which the world's first retirement ceremony is postponed due to the heat wave.
The MBC variety show Omniscient Interfering View, airing tomorrow (29th) at 11:10 p.m., episode 413, will portray Hwang Jae-gyun's bittersweet daily life after his retirement ceremony was tentatively postponed because of the heat wave.
In the episode, Hwang prepared commemorative items worth about 6 million won, including a souvenir bat and a commemorative uniform engraved with the retirement date, and waited only for the ceremony, but when the event was postponed due to the heat wave, everything he had prepared fell through. Still, as he wrote his retirement speech thinking of the ceremony that will be held someday, he became overwhelmed with emotion and finally burst into tears, evoking sympathy.
Also revealed is Hwang Jae-gyun's drastically changed condition: he lost 18 kg in six months and achieved a body fat percentage of 3.9%. With long hair and a thinner face, he even earned the nicknames "Chuno" and "Jangchen," and he said he underwent a grueling diet after retirement to complete his body profile.
But immediately after finishing the body-profile shoot, Hwang faced the unprecedented situation of the retirement ceremony's postponement and quickly transformed from a "diet machine" into a "binge machine." From morning he devoured pizza, pasta, donuts and snacks without restraint, exploding the appetite he had held back, but reportedly could not fill the empty feeling in his heart, leaving a bitter aftertaste.
