Kim Jong Min recalled a past interview he had with Jun Hyun Moo.
On the 319th episode of KBS2's variety show 'Boss in the Mirror,' which aired on August 17, announcer Um Ji In held a test to select the successor for KBS1's morning program 'AM Plaza's 'Tuesday Guest Corner' before taking her vacation.
As Kim Jin Woong, Heo Yoo Won, and Jung Eun Hye competed for the next MC position on 'AM Plaza,' Koyote shared the secret behind maintaining their 30-year career as a co-ed group, along with some of their recent struggles.
In the midst of this, Kim Jong Min named an interview with Jun Hyun Moo as his most memorable moment, which immediately heightened Jun Hyun Moo's tension. Kim Jong Min described it as the "most uncomfortable interview" he had ever experienced, recalling that it took place just as he was about to begin his alternative service for mandatory military duty.
He explained, "It was a KBS announcer. The announcer said, 'Jong Min, you're going to the army, right? Looks like you have ringworm on your face,'" reenacting the awkward exchange.
When Kim Sook cautiously remarked, "I think that announcer was Jun Hyun Moo," Kim Jong Min confirmed everyone's suspicions, saying, "That's right," before adding, "Back then, he dragged on the ringworm questions for five minutes straight."
Jun Hyun Moo later admitted, "I was just trying to be funny," and confessed, "Honestly, I stubbornly kept going until I thought he would laugh," acknowledging his mistake in what has since become known as the "ringworm interview," one of his most regrettable moments.
Now, attention is drawn to the past bittersweet encounter between Jun Hyun Moo, who couldn't take his eyes off Kim Jong Min's face, and Kim Jong Min, who had to publicly discuss his personal ringworm struggles before enlisting because of that interview.
