KBS2 'Sadanggwi' reveals Jun Hyun-moo's "perfect type" third-year middle school photo, and the studio is thrown into an uproar.
KBS 2TV 'The CEO's Ears Are Donkey Ears' (directed by Choi Seung-hee, hereafter 'Sadanggwi') is a voluntary role-reversal and self-reflection program by Korea's bosses to create workplaces that make people want to work. The last episode recorded a peak rating of 7.8% and a national rating of 5.3%, and it renewed its highest nationwide rating of 2026, continuing its 194-week streak as the No. 1 entertainment show in its time slot.

On the March 1 episode (Sunday) of 'Sadanggwi' episode 346, a quiz to guess the ages in Jun Hyun-moo's past photos draws attention. As soon as Park Myung Soo sees a photo and calls out third year of high school, Kim Sook instead yells 25, saying, "Don't try to be funny, tell the truth," which provokes laughter. Even Jun Hyun-moo is confused, saying, "I can't guess either," at the photo's unusual aura. Guesses range widely from third year of middle school to 25, spanning a full decade.
When the age is revealed, the studio erupts instantly with exclamations like "No way" and "Don't lie." The correct answer was the youngest guess, third year of middle school. Park Myung Soo, saying, "Even the teacher can't let his guard down," is taken aback by Jun Hyun-moo's overwhelmingly mature appearance in third year of middle school, and Umji even says, "He's around the same age as my 11-year-old daughter Bona, but there's a big difference," invoking her daughter. Kim Sook also opens her eyes wide and, "Really third year of middle school?" asks again, prompting laughter.
Jun Hyun-moo tries to play it cool, saying, "That kind of face doesn't age easily," but ultimately reveals, "At the time a woman passing by on the street asked, 'Sir, where is the real estate agency?'" and confesses that he was already called "ajusshi" in third year of middle school, causing uproarious laughter.
The debate over Jun Hyun-moo's photo, which already exuded an unusual aura at 15, can be seen on the 'Sadanggwi' main broadcast.
