The studio of KBS 2TV's variety show 'The Boss Has Donkey Ears' was thrown into chaos when a photo of Jeon Hyun-moo from his middle school days was revealed.

In the 346th episode, airing on the 1st, a quiz to guess Jeon Hyun-moo's age in a past photo captured everyone's attention. As soon as Park Myung-soo saw the photo, he guessed it was from Jeon's senior year of high school, while Kim Sook humorously suggested he looked 25, causing laughter. Even Jeon Hyun-moo himself was confused, admitting, "I can't even guess," as guesses ranged from middle school to 25 years old.


When the actual age was revealed, the studio erupted with exclamations like "No way!" and "Stop lying!" The correct answer was the youngest guess: middle school 3rd year. Park Myung-soo was shocked by Jeon's mature appearance at that age, saying, "Even the teachers couldn't speak informally to him." Um Ji-in compared him to her 11-year-old daughter, Bona, noting the stark difference. Kim Sook, wide-eyed, asked again, "Is he really a middle schooler?" sparking more laughter.

Jeon Hyun-moo tried to play it cool, saying, "Faces like this don't age easily," but eventually confessed, "Back then, a lady on the street asked me, 'Sir, where's the real estate office?'" revealing he was mistaken for an adult even in middle school, which caused an uproar of laughter.

'The Boss Has Donkey Ears' airs every Sunday at 4:40 PM.
