Translation result

[MyDaily = Park Seoyeon] Former professional baseball player Hwang Jae-gyun discussed remarriage and fatherhood.

The 29th episode of MBN·Channel S’s variety show Jeon Hyun-moo Project 3 airs at 9:10 p.m. on the 1st. It follows host Jeon Hyun-moo, streamer KwakTube (Kwak Jun-bin) and food companion Hwang Jae-gyun on a food trip to Mungyeong, where they film a mukbang focused on hanwoo beef and yakdol-fed pork.

After arriving in Mungyeong, the trio headed to Mukja Alley, where butcher shops and restaurants sit side by side. They bought generous cuts of premium two-rank hanwoo and pork raised on yakdol feed at a butcher, then went into a nearby restaurant to grill the meat. While sampling toshi-sal (hanging tender) and flower galbi-sal (marbled ribeye), Hwang repeatedly praised the quality: “I go to beef restaurants a lot, but the meat here is really good.”

As the mukbang moved on to yakdol pork, KwakTube asked bluntly, “Why did you retire if your body wasn’t ready to retire?” Hwang paused, then spoke candidly about his reasons for stepping away from the game. The trio also took on an apple-splitting challenge to test the grip strength baseball demands. KwakTube, who went first, confidently said, “I hold my baby for five hours a day, so I think I can do it,” prompting Jeon Hyun-moo to quip, “I’m tearing up. Our Taesan!” — a nickname for KwakTube’s son — which sent everyone into laughter.

Later, Jeon Hyun-moo smoothly guided the conversation toward remarriage, saying, “Talk about it here~.” Hwang replied, “I want to remarry. I’m open to it,” and then added, “I want to have my own child.” He went on to say, “If I have a child, I’ll definitely have them play baseball,” and jokingly suggested, “Honestly, I think I’ll get married before Hyun-moo,” drawing more laughs. Jeon answered with an unexpected remark that flipped the mood. Amid their playful back-and-forth, they also disclosed their ideal types: Hwang said, “I’d like someone tall,” while Jeon said he prefers a “petite, cute” style, revealing contrasting tastes.

Hwang married T-ara member Jiyeon in December 2022; the couple divorced in November 2024.
