“Hwang Jaekyun’s bar is not ‘Hunting Pocha’… It turns out to be the business of Shinwha’s Eric Mun’s sister-in-law.”

[OSEN=Ha Su-jeong, Kim Chae-yeon Reporter] While Hwang Jae-gyun was caught in a bar until the early morning, rumors started circulating that the bar in question is a hunting pub. The bar in question is actually run by Shinhwa member Lee Minwoo’s sister in Apgujeong, a famous hot spot in Seoul, and it is known that the bar was not originally intended to be a hunting pub.

Earlier, baseball player Hwang Jae-gyun was confirmed to have met with friends in a bar in Apgujeong until 6 a.m. on September 1st after finishing a game in Daejeon on August 31st.

At the time, a video of Hwang Jae-gyun in the bar was posted on the bar’s social media, and a fan who saw this sent photos to OSEN showing Hwang Jae-gyun conversing with friends among customers drinking late into the morning.

The informant claimed that Hwang Jae-gyun, who is a top player in the KT Wiz team, was drawing attention especially due to his presence in a mixed-gender drinking session until 6 a.m. amidst rumors of divorce sparked by broadcaster Lee Gwang-gil’s inappropriate remarks, during an important regular season and upcoming fall baseball season.

The reason why the eyewitness account of Hwang Jae-gyun’s bar visit garnered even more attention was because of recent rumors surrounding Jiyeon and divorce. An official from KT Wiz, the team Hwang Jae-gyun belongs to, responded cautiously to this, stating that it is difficult for the team to provide a separate response about who he was drinking with, as it falls under the player’s personal life.

Some media outlets reported that Hwang Jae-gyun visited a bar in Apgujeong, drawing attention. The place was explained as a space where you can meet the opposite sex, and the related search term on portal sites was described as ‘Apgujeong hunting pub.’

According to OSEN’s coverage, the pub located near Apgujeong Rodeo Station is known to involve some hunting among men and women, but it was not specifically designed as a hunting pub. It is known as a pub closer to a nighttime pub.

Even before the word ‘hunting pub’ was coined over a decade ago, Lee Minwoo’s sister, Lee Youngmi, started her business, and it later became famous among celebrities and influencers. Lee Minwoo’s sister still runs the place as the representative, and a recent SNS post showed Lee Minwoo hosting a birthday party with friends. In the past, in 2020, there was a rumor that K-pop artist Go Kyung-pyo took a photo with a BJ (Broadcast Jockey) at the pub, which led to a happening of visiting an entertainment establishment.

Lee Minwoo recently joined the KBS2 variety show ‘Master in the House’ as a fixed member, and his sister, Lee Youngmi, appeared directly, confessing an incident where their sibling suffered a scam of 2.6 billion won.

Meanwhile, the divorce rumors surrounding T-ara’s Jiyeon and Hwang Jae-gyun continue to persist. While Jiyeon’s close associates stated that these rumors are “completely groundless,” suspicions remain as Jiyeon has halted YouTube uploads citing personal reasons, her wedding ring is not visible in photos posted on social media, and both individuals have not provided any specific statement regarding the divorce rumors.
