Did Jeon Hyun-moo Bring Up Ex Lee Hye-sung, 15 Years His Junior? "I Get Along Well with People Born in 1992"

Jeon Hyun-moo appeared to make a remark that reminded viewers of his former girlfriend Lee Hye-sung, who is 15 years younger than him, when he said he gets along well with people born in 1992.

On the June 12 broadcast of MBN's "Jeon Hyun-moo Plan 3," Jeon made a comment that naturally called to mind Lee, his former public partner. The moment came during a conversation about age gaps, relationships and how well couples communicate.

Jeon Hyun-moo and KwakTube, whose real name is Kwak Jun-bin, set out on a tour of hidden restaurants in Seoul's back alleys with their "food friends," the married couple Bae Sung-jae and Kim Da-young.

During the outing, KwakTube brought up the 14-year age difference between Bae Sung-jae and Kim Da-young. He asked the couple, "Do the two of you communicate well?" Jeon Hyun-moo then jumped into the exchange, saying, "When there is about that much of an age gap, conversation actually does not get blocked."

Kim Da-young immediately asked, "Are you speaking from experience?" Jeon Hyun-moo responded by quickly apologizing, saying, "I'm sorry." His reaction drew attention because Jeon previously had a public relationship with Lee Hye-sung, a broadcaster and former KBS announcer who was born in 1992. The two have a 15-year age gap.

Later, while talking about marriage and childbirth, Jeon Hyun-moo said, "I always have plans to date." KwakTube tried to lighten the atmosphere by saying to Kim Da-young, "Maybe you could introduce him to one of your colleagues." Kim Da-young then jokingly asked, "Is someone born in 1992 okay?"

Jeon Hyun-moo answered, "I like people born in 1992. I like them very much. KwakTube was born in 1992, and I think I get along well with people born in 1992." His repeated reference to that birth year once again drew attention to his past relationship with Lee Hye-sung.
