Actress Hwang Jung-eum is confirmed to be dating basketball player Kim Jong-kyu, who is seven years her junior. Hwang Jung-eum has been nurturing a romantic relationship with Kim Jong-kyu, according to Spotv News on the 22nd. Hwang Jung-eum ended her marriage with former golf player Lee Young-don in February. The two married in 2016 and welcomed their first son in 2017. They faced a divorce mediation in 2020 but reconciled, only to part ways again three years later. Hwang Jung-eum began her career in 2002 as a member of the girl group Sugar before transitioning to acting. She has starred in several hit dramas, including 'High Kick Through The Roof (지붕뚫고 하이킥!),' 'Giant (자이언트),' 'Listen to My Heart (내 마음이 들리니),' 'Golden Time (골든타임),' 'Kill Me, Heal Me (킬미힐미),' 'She Was Pretty (그녀는 예뻤다),' and 'The Escape of the Seven (7인의 탈출).' Kim Jong-kyu, an acclaimed basketball player, has been active since his university days in 2011. He debuted professionally in 2013 and played for Changwon LG Sakers before joining Wonju DB Promy in 2019, where he remains a key player. Known for his striking resemblance to actor Lee Min-ho, Kim has earned the nickname 'Idol of KBL' due to his popularity and good looks. Last season, Wonju DB Promy won the regular league championship, with Kim Jong-kyu making significant contributions as a center. This season, he will play alongside Lee Kwan-hee, a global star from 'Single’s Inferno 3,' who recently transferred to Wonju DB Promy.
