In the KBS 2TV entertainment program ‘The Boss Has Donkey Ears’ (hereafter ‘Donkey Ears’), announcer Hong Joo-yeon confessed to broadcaster Jeon Hyun-moo. At the end of the episode aired on the 8th, Hong Joo-yeon was depicted pursuing Jeon Hyun-moo directly. Previously, Jeon Hyun-moo had appeared as a one-day mentor for announcers Kim Jin-woong (46th class), Hong Joo-yeon (48th class), Heo Yoo-won, and Jung Eun-hye (50th class).
Uhm Ji-in, an announcer who stars as a ‘boss’ on ‘Donkey Ears’, remarked, “Isn’t office romance okay?” Hearing this, Hong Joo-yeon said, “People keep telling me to engage in office romance.” Jeon Hyun-moo asked her, “What is your ideal type?” To which Hong Joo-yeon replied, “I like cute men.” When Jeon Hyun-moo further inquired, “Specifically, what kind of man are you referring to?” Hong Joo-yeon boldly confessed right in front of him, “I like a man like Jeon Hyun-moo.” Jeon Hyun-moo, shy yet accepting, responded, “I’ll take that.”
Meanwhile, Jeon Hyun-moo developed a romantic relationship with model Han Hye-jin while appearing on the MBC entertainment program ‘I Live Alone’ in 2018, publicly acknowledging their relationship in February of that year. However, they announced their breakup in March 2019 after a year of public dating.
