Ji-yeon (29, Park Ji-yeon) of the group T-ara and Hwang Jae-gyun (35, KT Wiz), a professional baseball player, are getting married this winter.



The two announced their marriage through SNS on the afternoon of the 10th.

Ji-yeon and Hwang Jae-gyun announced the news of their marriage to their fans in a handwritten letter on their respective SNS.



Jiyeon said, "I got to know a boyfriend last year through an acquaintance, and I met a boyfriend with good feelings." He said, "I promised to get married in the coming winter with a boyfriend who was like a gift in my life, who always took care of me first, cared for me, and taught me that happiness is happiness. "he said.

She added, "I will live a pretty and happy life with a reliable boyfriend who firmly held my unstable me and gave me a shoulder to lean on."

Along with this, she shared a photo she took with Hwang Jae-gyun.



Hwang Jae-gyun also said, "I decided to get married with a friend who helped me a lot just by being by my side, holding me firmly when I was shaken when I met him during a difficult time last year."



He said that the reason the wedding was held in winter was to not damage the team.

Hwang Jae-gyun said, "The reason I am saying this all of a sudden is that, during the season, when I am concentrating on the match, my team, KT, who is running hard with one goal of winning because of my devotees or marriage articles, may be in an upsetting atmosphere. I had a thought,” he explained.

He added, "I will love you happily until the wedding and even after marriage."



The professional baseball season starts in April and ends before November.

Last year, Jaekyun Hwang's team, KT Wiz, delivered the news of their first win, and Hwang also tasted the thrill of winning his first win since his professional debut.



Ji-yeon and Hwang Jae-gyun have been dating for six months.

Hwang Jae-gyun appeared on KBS 2TV's entertainment program 'The Household Men' last month and said, "I have a girlfriend and it's been about 4 months."



Jiyeon, who was born in 1993, has continued her active career since her 2009 debut with 'T-ara'.
