Jun Hyun-moo's Past as a KBS Announcer Unveiled on 'The Boss Has Donkey Ears'

The intriguing past of broadcaster Jun Hyun-moo during his days as a KBS announcer is set to be revealed.

In the 345th episode of KBS 2TV's 'The Boss Has Donkey Ears' (directed by Choi Seung-hee), Jun Hyun-moo makes a triumphant return to the KBS announcer's office for the first time in 14 years to commemorate his win at the 'KBS Entertainment Awards' last year.

On this episode, Jun Hyun-moo captures attention as he meets with announcer Park Ji-hyun, who once testified, "He was my junior, but he was really scary. He scolded me every day." Park Ji-hyun surprises everyone by revealing, "Because of senior Hyun-moo, our batch had to work an additional two months at a regional station."

Park Ji-hyun further explains, "Senior Hyun-moo did many noticeable things, so the announcer director said, 'Don't be like Jun Hyun-moo. Everyone needs more training,' which led to us working two extra months in the provinces," testifying to Jun Hyun-moo's 'troublemaker' days.

Additionally, announcer Kim Ki-man reveals, "The reason Hyun-moo failed the first round of the announcer exam multiple times was because of his appearance," sparking interest in the background of this statement. The endless anecdotes from Jun Hyun-moo's unique announcer days will be unveiled in the full broadcast of 'The Boss Has Donkey Ears.'

Previously, a person known as 'Injection Auntie' A, who was accused of illegal medical practices on broadcaster Park Na-rae, posted and then deleted a message seemingly targeting Jun Hyun-moo. Jun Hyun-moo's side repeatedly denied any connection with A and clarified the situation. Jun Hyun-moo had been at the center of controversy after a scene from 'I Live Alone' showing him receiving an IV drip in a car resurfaced. However, his agency SM C&C clarified that it was a legal treatment based on hospital diagnosis and medical prescription.

They also released medical records to emphasize that there were no illegal procedures or private medical calls involved. During this process, it was revealed that Jun Hyun-moo had been prescribed medication for erectile dysfunction.

Meanwhile, KBS 2TV's 'The Boss Has Donkey Ears' airs every Sunday at 4:40 PM.
