Korean television personality Jun Hyun-moo has once again denied rumors surrounding his alleged $600 million fortune.

On the October 11th episode of KBS 2TV's variety show 'The Boss Has Donkey Ears,' anchor Um Ji-in was seen mentoring fellow anchor Park Chul-kyu at his home, where they co-host the show 'Morning Yard.'

During the episode, Um Ji-in and her junior anchors visited a property. Upon hearing that the apartment's selling price ranged from "5 billion to 7 billion won," Kim Jin-woong commented, "I heard senior Jun Hyun-moo has 600 billion won." Um Ji-in added, "Didn't senior Hyun-moo start from a studio apartment and end up buying an apartment in Gangnam?"

Comedian Park Myung-soo chimed in, "I think Hyun-moo having 600 billion won is true," to which Jun Hyun-moo responded, "If I had that much wealth, I wouldn't be working this hard," dismissing the claim. When Kim Sook mentioned, "Isn't it like the rumor of Seo Jang-hoon having 2 trillion won?" Jun Hyun-moo humorously replied, "I believed the Seo Jang-hoon 2 trillion rumor."

Later, Um Ji-in expressed satisfaction after having breakfast at the visited apartment and jokingly asked Jun Hyun-moo, "Can't you move into that apartment, senior?" Park Myung-soo humorously remarked, "I think Hyun-moo's nutrition is lacking. There's no one to cook for him, so he should eat downstairs and then sleep again," eliciting laughter. Jun Hyun-moo showed interest, saying, "I'm tempted by the food."
