Korean TV Host Jun Hyun-moo Shares Thoughts on Marriage and Past Relationships

Jun Hyun-moo, a 48-year-old South Korean television host, recently opened up about his thoughts on marriage.

On the October 1st episode of KBS2's 'The Boss Has Donkey Ears', a segment called 'News Live Review' featured KBS's 51st class of new announcers: Lee Sang-cheol, Shim Soo-hyun, and Park Hyo-jin. The segment tested the new announcers' ability to handle various emergency situations during a live news broadcast. Each announcer delivered a three-minute impromptu speech on a given topic. Observing from the studio, the panelists asked Jun Hyun-moo to give a one-minute speech on the topic of marriage.

Despite the sudden request, Jun Hyun-moo delivered a smooth and natural one-minute speech. He began by quoting the ancient Sumerians of Mesopotamia, saying, "Marriage is enjoyable, but divorce is even more so." He continued, "For 4,000 years, humanity has struggled with the concept of marriage. Should we marry? Marriage, both then and now, requires careful consideration. I won't rush into it. I'll think it over carefully and announce my marriage news on 'The Boss Has Donkey Ears'." He concluded his speech with a humorous 'idol ending pose'.

Jun Hyun-moo also recently spoke about his last relationship. On the September 29th episode of KBS2's 'Problematic Men', he revealed that his last relationship was "about three years ago." Regarding marriage plans, he stated, "I'm almost 50 now. I do think about marriage. If I meet someone and feel 'I want to marry this person,' I will. But I don't want to marry just for the sake of it. I'd rather be lonely than miserable."

Additionally, Jun Hyun-moo expressed interest in participating as a male contestant on a dating show, preferring natural encounters over arranged meetings.
