On the Feb. 25 broadcast of MBC’s “Radio Star,” Park appeared alongside Hwang, Yu Hui-gwan and Noh Min-woo.
Hwang said he had wrapped up a 20-year playing career. “Everyone tried to stop me, but I’d been thinking about it since the start of last season,” he said.
He added that this is normally the time he would be heading to spring training, and that it felt strange to be in South Korea during the cold season for the first time in 20 years.
Park then asked who was at home. When Hwang replied that he had two dogs, Park reacted with surprise and asked, “Aren’t you married?” drawing awkward reactions in the studio.
Park followed up, asking if Hwang had split up, then joked, “Nice to meet you. I suddenly feel affectionate. Don’t worry,” prompting laughter.
