Hong Joo-yeon, a KBS announcer, shared her feelings about the marriage rumors with Jeon Hyun-moo in May.
The dating and marriage rumors involving Hong Joo-yeon and Jeon Hyun-moo began last December. While Jeon Hyun-moo was appearing on KBS2's 'Boss's ears are donkey ears,' Hong Joo-yeon mentioned, 'Actually, I've been watching from afar in Paris,' referring to their connection to the 2024 Paris Olympics. During a time when Jeon Hyun-moo was providing 1:1 personalized mentoring, he asked Hong Joo-yeon about her ideal type, to which she responded, 'A cute guy like Jeon Hyun-moo,' leading to an explosion of dating rumors.
In particular, during the broadcast on the 2nd, when Kim Byung-hyun appeared in the studio after a long time, Kim Sook and Park Myung-soo conspired to trick him, saying, 'Jeon Hyun-moo is getting married next month.' When they hinted, 'Haven't you seen the dating rumors?' Jeon Hyun-moo added, 'It's been a month since we started dating,' and Kim Byung-hyun, surprised, asked, 'Really?' which brought laughter.
This evolved into marriage rumors for March, and Jeon Hyun-moo said, 'What's with the March marriage rumors? My mom contacted me asking, 'Are you getting married?' Choo sent a message saying, 'Congratulations.' There are too many things that aren't true.' In response, Park Myung-soo suggested, 'Then let's say May,' to which Jeon Hyun-moo agreed but immediately expressed discomfort, saying, 'Then there will be articles saying the marriage is postponed.'
The dating and marriage rumors originated from a variety show. Jeon Hyun-moo stated again, 'At first, I felt sorry for that friend. So, I asked, 'Isn't this too uncomfortable for you?' I don't care since I'm already a mess, but if the other person says, 'It's okay,' I let it be, and 'That person can receive attention through it, so that's good. The broadcasting environment is not like it used to be, so it's actually not easy for a new announcer to get attention. If they can become known through this, isn't that good? The other person is also in a situation where they say, 'OK.'
Hong Joo-yeon also reacted cautiously to being in the spotlight due to the dating and marriage rumors with Jeon Hyun-moo through 'Boss's ears are donkey ears.' Despite that, she spoke directly about the related content after two months.
On the 27th, at the 30th anniversary press conference for KBS1's 'TV Show Genuine Goods (hereafter Genuine Goods)' held at the KBS New Hall International Conference Room in Yeouido, Hong Joo-yeon said, 'The broadcasts are exaggerated, and articles have come out, so this is the first time I am receiving such attention. I wouldn't say I'm upset, but I have been surprised by things I have not experienced before. I want to shed the burden and gradually show my true self as a Genuine Lady. I hope the name Genuine Lady appears frequently in my articles.'
Hong Joo-yeon will join 'Genuine Goods' as a Genuine Lady. She expressed her honor and excitement about being part of a program that has reached its 30th anniversary, saying, 'I will work hard to show my unique charm so that I do not become a burden to the program.' She added, 'Receiving more attention than I expected has put a burden on me, but I was worried because I have not shown much on air. I am thankful to be part of this good moment. It is a burden, and in the announcer's room, everyone told me not to be nervous and to do well. I have shown my nervous side to those around me, but I want to integrate without showing that side on air. I will do my best to learn well.'
Meanwhile, 'Genuine Goods,' which is undergoing changes in celebration of its 30th anniversary, is broadcast every Sunday at 10:55 a.m.
