KBS announcer Hong Joo-yeon caught the attention of many while sharing her recent updates following rumors of her marriage to broadcaster Jun Hyun-moo.
On the afternoon of the 8th, Hong Joo-yeon appeared as a ceremonial pitcher at the game between the Kiwoom Heroes and LG Twins held at the Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul for the '2025 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League'.
That day, she wore white shorts and a Kiwoom Heroes uniform, showing off a graceful yet lively charm. With her long wavy hairstyle and natural smile, coupled with a stable pitching form, she drew the enthusiastic attention of the crowd.
Hong Joo-yeon, a representative announcer for KBS, is a figure beloved for her trustworthy hosting in news and cultural programs. However, she has recently become the center of attention due to her romantic relationship and marriage rumors with Jun Hyun-moo.
The origin of the marriage rumors stemmed from the KBS2 program 'Boss's Ears are Donkey Ears'. During the broadcast, Jun Hyun-moo mentioned his ideal type in the presence of KBS announcers, and Hong Joo-yeon pointed to him while saying 'a cute guy', creating a peculiar atmosphere.
Afterward, Jun Hyun-moo jokingly said on another broadcast, 'Has it been a month since we started dating?', and surrounding figures like Kim Byung-hyun chimed in, leading to the spread of 'Jun Hyun-moo March marriage rumors' on social media and online communities. Jun Hyun-moo expressed his bewilderment, saying, 'Even my mother and Choo reached out to me', and ultimately, the rumor was put to rest following his clarification.
However, even after that, jokes about 'Then let's make it May' continued on the show, bringing the 'May marriage rumors' back to light, and Hong Joo-yeon was placed in the center of it. Both sides later denied the rumors but maintained a boundary, yet public interest has not easily settled down.
Through this ceremonial pitch, Hong Joo-yeon, who appeared in an official capacity for the first time in a while, did not mention the marriage rumors and focused on her natural self, greeting baseball fans with a bright smile.
