July 29, 2025, During the Lotte Giants game held at Sajik Baseball Stadium in Busan, commentator Lee Soon-cheol cited Jeong Cheol-won's poor performance at home as the reason. “Lack of support from wife” The controversy began with the mention of .

 
He is on air "If you can't do it at home, it could be because your wife isn't taking proper care of you." He repeatedly said things like that and shocked me.

 

There were many reactions that said that I crossed the line by talking about installing blackout curtains and imagining the situation at home.

Jeong Cheol-won's wife is Kim Ji-yeon, who appeared in Mnet's 'Love Catcher' Season 1.

Kim Ji-yeon also cutely expressed her husband's affection by saying, "Won (Jeong Cheol-won) is more of a mess," making fans smile.
