On the October 17th episode of JTBC's 'Talk Pawon 25 Hours,' Kim Won-hoon and Girls' Generation's Hyoyeon appeared as guests.
During the show, Kim Won-hoon expressed his admiration for Hyoyeon, saying, "It's my first time meeting her in person." He explained that one reason he's a fan is because "we are the same age." When Hyoyeon expressed surprise, thinking he was older, Kim humorously asked, "What made you think that?"
Kim further shared his fandom story, recalling, "Isn't she from Girls' Generation? I enlisted in the military in 2009 when 'Gee' was released." He reminisced about how he couldn't listen to music in the training camp and had to imagine the song from the lyrics he received in letters. "It was only after being assigned to my unit that I finally heard the song," he added.
Jeon Hyun-moo also commented on Kim Won-hoon's rising popularity, noting that he was nominated for the 'Baeksang Arts Awards' in the male variety category. "But he was only nominated," Jeon clarified, adding humorously, "He wasn't upset about it at all." However, Jeon playfully exposed, "What are you talking about? He practiced his acceptance speech all day in the waiting room, he was really expecting it."
Kim admitted, "I even prepared a spot for the trophy, but it's just gathering dust now. Still, being nominated was truly an honor." Jeon added, "He's such a top star that he even appeared on 'You Quiz.'" Kim shared, "My lifelong role model is Shin Dong-yup, but after meeting Yoo Jae-suk on 'You Quiz,' I'm torn between the two."
Lee Chan-won, listening to the conversation, asked, "So, are you weighing Yoo Jae-suk and Shin Dong-yup against each other?" Jeon then asked, "Who is your pick today?" Kim humorously replied, "Today, it's Jeon Hyun-moo." Jeon, pleased yet playfully dismissive, responded, "Oh, stop it," eliciting laughter.
