Actress Hwang Jung-eum expressed gratitude to Julien Kang, whom she met through 'High Kick'.

On the 9th, Hwang Jung-eum uploaded a video titled "The Day I Learned Exercise and Mukbang from Julien Kang" on her YouTube channel.

That day, Hwang Jung-eum began by saying, "When I was going through a really tough time, Julien and his wife invited me to their home."

She continued, "We all went out with the children, and Julien taught my sons Wang-sik and Kang-sik how to exercise and genuinely worried about them. I am truly grateful."

In response, Julien Kang calmly recalled, "I just asked because I consider Hwang Jung-eum a friend and was concerned about how she was feeling."

Hearing this, Hwang Jung-eum reminisced about the filming of MBC's 'High Kick! Revenge of the Short Leg', where they appeared together, saying, "We worked on the same project, and our relationship became so close that we developed a bond like comradeship," expressing her affection.

Meanwhile, Hwang Jung-eum married former professional golfer Lee Young-don in 2016 and has two sons. The couple submitted a divorce mediation application to the court four years into their marriage in September 2020 but reconciled in July 2021. However, three years after the reconciliation, it was revealed in February 2024 that they had filed for divorce.

Subsequently, Hwang Jung-eum was indicted in May 2025 on charges of embezzling approximately 4.3 billion won from her one-person production company's funds and received a sentence of two years in prison with a four-year probation period at the first trial. Since Hwang Jung-eum did not appeal the first-instance verdict, the sentence was finalized as is.
