Jeon Hyun-moo Considers Joining a New Dating Show on KBS2's 'The Boss Has Donkey Ears'

KBS2's 'The Boss Has Donkey Ears' (also known as 'Sadangwi') sees Jeon Hyun-moo receiving an offer to join a dating show. Previously, he expressed his interest in participating in a celebrity version of 'I Am Solo' during a broadcast in 2024.

'The Boss Has Donkey Ears' is a self-reflection program where South Korean bosses voluntarily engage in role reversal to create a more enjoyable workplace. The previous episode achieved a peak viewership rating of 7.8% and a nationwide rating of 5.3%, continuing its streak as the number one variety show in its time slot for 194 consecutive weeks, according to Nielsen Korea.

In the 346th episode airing on March 1st, Jeon Hyun-moo meets with KBS Entertainment Center Director Lee Hwang-sun and becomes intrigued by a new program concept called 'Announcer Dating Program.'

During his meeting with Director Lee, Jeon Hyun-moo expresses gratitude, calling him the benefactor who gave him his first appearance as a variety show guest and his debut as a variety show MC. He shares his dream of creating great content through collaboration between announcers and the entertainment department, suggesting bold ideas like 'Announcer Cooking Battle' and 'Announcer Choir,' leaving Director Lee bewildered.

Contemplating Jeon Hyun-moo's suggestions, Director Lee counters with, "How about appearing on a dating show, Mr. Hyun-moo?" This piques Jeon Hyun-moo's interest. Director Lee mentions considering a dating program featuring Jeon Hyun-moo and other single announcers, to which Jeon Hyun-moo responds enthusiastically, believing he could genuinely find a partner. He even begins drafting a list of potential announcer participants, raising anticipation for the possible creation of an announcer dating show featuring Jeon Hyun-moo.

As anticipation builds over whether Jeon Hyun-moo will indeed join a dating show, the program planning meeting between KBS Entertainment Center Director and Jeon Hyun-moo will be revealed in the upcoming broadcast of 'The Boss Has Donkey Ears.'
