Today's (22nd) broadcast of 'Sadanggwi' will show Jun Hyun-moo returning to the KBS announcer's office for the first time in 14 years to celebrate winning the 'KBS Entertainment Awards,' and the revelation of unexpected good deeds that were previously unknown draws attention.
When Jun Hyun-moo arrived at the KBS announcer's office, warm welcomes from many senior and junior colleagues brought smiles. Among them, announcer Kim Bo-min, who is three cohorts senior to Jun Hyun-moo, gave an enthusiastic welcome and revealed their special connection. Kim Bo-min said that Jun Hyun-moo was the first to cover the scene when she gave birth to her first son after marrying former 2002 World Cup star Kim Nam-il. Jun Hyun-moo said, "Senior Kim Bo-min purposely said she would allow the interview if I came as a reporter. At the time it helped solidify my position as a reporter on Entertainment Weekly. I was very grateful," expressing thanks to Kim Bo-min for looking out for him.
Kim Bo-min recalled the difficult period during a long KBS strike, saying, "There was a time when KBS went on strike for a long time," and revealed, "At that time Jun Hyun-moo donated 20 million won," surprising everyone. Kim Bo-min added, "It was so much that we returned some of it," prompting laughter.
Jun Hyun-moo said, "I was also an announcer, so I know. If you don't get a paycheck for even one month, you're immediately worried about card bills," revealing his concern for colleagues who went long periods without pay. At the time, after winning the MBC Entertainment Award, Jun Hyun-moo said in his remarks, "I earnestly hope spring breeze blows in my hometown," expressing support for his KBS family and moving many. In response, Eom Ji-in said, "It was a great comfort at the time," offering special thanks.
Hearing this, Park Myung Soo also revealed an unexpected fact that surprised everyone. Park Myung Soo said, "When I also couldn't receive appearance fees because of the strike, Hyun-moo said, 'If you're having a hard time, tell me. I'll lend you money,'" and added, "Hyun-moo has a good character," acknowledging Jun Hyun-moo's loyalty. It was also revealed that Jun Hyun-moo has consistently made donations every year, and the story says everyone applauded his unexpected side.
Anticipation is building for the main broadcast of 'Sadanggwi,' where the unexpected good deed of 'donation angel Jun Hyun-moo' will be revealed.
