On June 6th, a video titled “Happy Jiyeon’s day” was posted on Jiyeon’s YouTube channel.
Jiyeon expressed her excitement as she did her makeup, “It’s only a few days away from my birthday. Today, Jae-gyun’s plans were canceled due to the rain so he got off work early. So, to celebrate my birthday coming soon, I’m going out to eat with my husband.“
Jiyeon expressed her expectations, “Last year, my husband was abroad for a game, so we were video-calling and he told me to open the door. When I did, there was a present. I was so surprised, and I had no idea. ‘What should I do this year?’ And now we’re going to eat.”

When Jiyeon met Hwang Jae-gyun, she expressed her joy, “When I was doing my makeup earlier, I thought about what we did last year for my birthday and we spent my birthday last year apart. And now it’s my first birthday after we got married.” Jiyeon added “Today, my husband made a restaurant reservation as a surprise“, curious about where they were going. Hwang Jae-gyun jokingly said, “Kimbap Heaven.”
It turned out that Hwang Jae-gyun reserved the place where he had proposed to Jiyeon. Jiyeon said, “I can’t believe we’re here again.” Hwang Jae-gyun asked, “You cried the last time we were here, right?” Jiyeon replied, “I did cry. You proposed to me here. I had no idea. Now that we’re here again, I remember that day.” Hwang Jae-gyun continued, “You didn’t know I were proposing, and you said, ‘Take my picture!’” Jiyeon added, “You ordered a dessert we hadn’t tried yet. We were like, ‘We’re at this nice place, let’s try it!’ But suddenly the employees came in… They put down a cake and brought the box and gave me flowers… The moment they walked in, I was bawling. I was like, ‘What’s this?’ I instantly started crying.”

After a satisfying meal, Jiyeon received another surprise. She was presented with a cake with a birthday message, happily concluding their meal.
Meanwhile, Jiyeon has been dealing with malicious comments related to her husband Hwang Jae-gyun. On June 5th, during the 2024 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League game between KT Wiz and Hanwha Eagles at Suwon KT Wiz Park, a bench-clearing incident occurred after the game. After the game, Jang Sung-woo and Hwang Jae-gyun called out Park Sang-won, leading to the bench-clearing. This resulted in Hanwha fans flooding Jiyeon’s SNS with malicious comments aimed at Hwang Jae-gyun, causing controversy.
