Actor Julien Kang delivered an unreserved critique toward Hwang Jung-eum.

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

During the video, Hwang said, "Julien must not be worried these days," referencing her marital life. In response, Julien Kang stated, "I have gained some stability."

Hwang added, "You married well. Finding a good partner and living happily is a great blessing."

Julien Kang also encouraged Hwang, saying she would soon meet someone special. He remarked, "Because of her kind personality and heart, she will surely meet a good person. She is fun, kind, and very honest. One thing I admire about Jung-eum is that she is genuine without pretense."

However, Julien Kang suddenly added, "Sometimes she is too honest," explaining, "It's not because of bad intentions, but simply because she doesn't know better or lacks common sense, so her actions come out purely." This unexpected remark drew laughter. Hwang immediately retorted, "Let's leave 'not knowing' out of it," causing everyone to burst into laughter.

Meanwhile, Hwang Jung-eum married former professional golfer Lee Young-don in 2016 and had two sons. The couple filed for divorce mediation in 2020 but reconciled the following year. However, they faced another breakup in 2024 and officially divorced last May.

Additionally, Hwang Jung-eum was engulfed in an embezzlement controversy in 2025. She was indicted on charges of embezzling approximately 4.3 billion won from the funds of a one-person agency in which she held shares. In the first trial, she was sentenced to two years in prison with a four-year probation period.
