Jun Hyun-moo unexpectedly became Hong Joo-yeon's 'you' on 'Saving Mr. Donkey's Ears.'
The KBS 2TV entertainment program 'Saving Mr. Donkey's Ears' aired on the 22nd, revealing the daily lives of KBS rookie announcers covering the vote counting of the 21st presidential election.
On this day, KBS Announcer Bureau's boss, Announcer Eom Ji-in, led her juniors in a practice session for the election vote counting broadcast. Experienced senior announcers like Announcer Park Ji-hyun were part of the review meeting, where the practice took place under significant tension.
During this, Announcer Hong Joo-yeon made the mistake of mispronouncing 'elected' as 'you.' While this might have been a cute blunder in a regular broadcast, the strict review meeting atmosphere persisted as they practiced for a vote counting broadcast conducted due to a vacancy election. Even small mistakes drew sharp advice and criticism, as if walking on thin ice.
However, the reaction in the 'Saving Mr. Donkey's Ears' studio was different. This was to be expected, as Hong Joo-yeon, who had been involved in a rumored romantic relationship with MC Jun Hyun-moo, made the verbal slip of 'you' sound unusual. Park Myung-soo jokingly remarked, 'Wasn’t that directed at Jun Hyun-moo?'
Eventually, Kim Sook and Kim Dae-ho joined in with applause and sang the trot hit 'The Meaning of You' by Lee Ja-yeon, shouting, 'You, my beloved you,' towards Jun Hyun-moo, drawing laughter. Jun Hyun-moo also broke into laughter. Kim Dae-ho, who joined KBS through 'Saving Mr. Donkey's Ears' and is a former MBC announcer, remarked, 'This is fun,' contributing to the cheerful atmosphere.
Meanwhile, Jun Hyun-moo has been creating buzz on 'Saving Mr. Donkey's Ears' amid a romantic atmosphere with Hong Joo-yeon. Speculations about their marriage have also arisen, drawing attention. However, Jun Hyun-moo expressed embarrassment over the romantic situation with 20 years younger Hong Joo-yeon, who is a junior announcer at KBS, saying, 'I feel sorry for that friend.'
