Jeon Hyun-moo Embraces Ideal Type Amid Dating Rumors with Hong Joo-yeon

On December 8, KBS 2TV's show 'Boss's Ears Are Donkey Ears' featured broadcaster Jeon Hyun-moo continuing to foster a romantic atmosphere with announcer Hong Joo-yeon, whom he considers his ideal type. Following a wave of dating rumors last week, Jeon addressed the speculation, expressing concern for Hong, saying, 'I feel sorry and worried that the rumors might affect her. I hope she doesn't get hurt.'

During the episode, Jeon met with junior announcers at the invitation of Eom Ji-in, surprising them with gifts. The other MCs playfully suggested that his generous gesture was influenced by his rumored relationship with Hong. Jeon awkwardly mentioned a recent article about him and Hong, to which she responded, 'I actually watched from afar in Paris,' adding to the flirtatious vibe. Jeon took care of Hong by grilling meat for her, saying, 'You can’t eat much,' which drew teasing remarks from the MCs about his attentive behavior towards her.

Jeon also engaged with each junior announcer, sharing his experiences interviewing international stars in English and Chinese, and advising a junior who wanted to pursue both news and entertainment that it was unrealistic to excel in both fields simultaneously. He encouraged Hong, who expressed a desire to work in sports, to seize the opportunity to study hard, saying, 'There are many possibilities for you. If I were you, I would be studying a lot right now.'

In a teaser for the end of the broadcast, when asked about her ideal type, Hong mentioned she likes 'cute guys' and pointed to Jeon as her ideal, to which he responded, 'I will accept that.' This exchange has left fans curious about their relationship status.
