Former baseball player Kim Tae-kyun is facing criticism for mentioning his ex-boyfriend Oh Seung-hwan in front of Kwon Yu-ri, a member of Girls' Generation and an actress.
On the 17th, during the live broadcast of Tving's 'True Fan Zone 2', Kim Tae-kyun, Kwon Yu-ri, and Song Sang-eun appeared.
They were discussing while cheering for the '2025 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO Playoffs' game between the Hanwha Eagles and the Samsung Lions.
During the conversation, Kim Tae-kyun asked Kwon Yu-ri, "What do you think about the game between Samsung and Hanwha?" Kwon Yu-ri hesitated and replied, "Of course, it's fun. How can it be like this? It's like it's scripted."
Not stopping there, Kim Tae-kyun indirectly mentioned Oh Seung-hwan by saying, "I even attended his retirement ceremony." Kwon Yu-ri appeared flustered and did not respond further.
Kwon Yu-ri and Oh Seung-hwan, a former player of the Samsung Lions, publicly revealed their relationship in 2015 but broke up six months later.
Immediately after the broadcast, netizens criticized Kim Tae-kyun's remarks. It has been 10 years since the two broke up, and especially since Oh Seung-hwan is already married with a son.
Netizens reacted by saying, "Was it really necessary to bring that up?", "It's very rude," and "Kwon Yu-ri is a bigger person."
