Korean Entertainer Jeon Hyun-moo Opens Up About Love Life and Family on 'Problematic Men'

Korean entertainer Jeon Hyun-moo recently shared insights into his personal life, including his last relationship, on KBS2's 'Problematic Men'.

Jeon, who made history as the first former announcer to win the KBS Entertainment Award, appeared on the show to celebrate its 300th episode. When asked about his marriage plans, Jeon expressed his mixed feelings, saying, “I’m almost 50, and it’s confusing.” Despite the complexity, he cautiously admitted that he still considers marriage. Jeon then sought advice from Kim Jong-kook, who has been married for five months, leading to a heartfelt discussion that viewers can catch on the broadcast.

Jeon also expressed a strong desire to participate in a dating show as a male contestant, revealing that his last relationship was three years ago. He confessed that the idea of dating with marriage in mind feels overwhelming and prefers natural encounters over arranged meetings.

Known for his 'natural encounter' style, Jeon shared his interest in joining a dating show with fellow entertainers Seo Jang-hoon and Heo Kyung-hwan, who are also known for being homebodies. He emphasized the lack of opportunities for celebrities to meet people and expressed a desire to create a space for organic connections.

In addition, Jeon spoke about his father’s illness, showing deep affection for his family. Last month, during his KBS Entertainment Award acceptance speech, he revealed his father's health struggles. Jeon mentioned that he now spends more time with his father, driving himself to the hospital after work.

He also shared his parents' reactions to his award win, noting that they watched him receive the KBS Entertainment Award, a milestone achieved 20 years after joining KBS. What words did his parents share with him after this significant achievement?

KBS2's 'Problematic Men' will air on Thursday, the 29th, at 8:30 PM.
