Anchor Jeom Ji-in was curious about anchor Kim Seon-geun's reason for declaring as a freelancer.
On the 23rd episode of KBS2's 'The Boss's Ears are Donkey Ears,' Jeom Ji-in was seen meeting with fellow anchors Kim Jin-woong and Hong Ju-yeon, along with a freelancer.
That day, Jeom Ji-in called both Kim Jin-woong and Hong Ju-yeon to an APT. Kim Jin-woong, who recently mentioned he frequently watches broadcasts featuring Jeon Hyun-moo, when asked about netizens' reactions, noted, "I feel like he might leave the company soon as he's the second Jeon Hyun-moo. He is going to freelance soon." Jeom Ji-in retorted, "Is that all you saw in the comments? As for me, I only see that I'm loud."
Continuing, Jeom Ji-in expressed suspicion, saying, "Both Ju-yeon and Jin-woong's situations raise suspicions. Since Jin-woong is only doing broadcasts with Jeon Hyun-moo. Are you two planning to go freelance?" and mentioned that she had prepared a special meeting for mental training.
As a result, she received remarks from the studio, and anchor Jeom Ji-in responded, "Jin-woong's shoulders are too broad."
The place Jeom Ji-in brought the two was the house of former anchor Kim Seon-geun. Here, anchor Kim Hyun-wook also joined to have a conversation. Upon seeing the two, Kim Jin-woong stood up to greet them, emphasizing regarding the suspicion of a freelance declaration, "I buried my soul in KBS."
Jeon Hyun-moo said, "You can leave your body while your soul stays. My soul is still here," and both Jeom Ji-in and Kim Hyun-wook nodded. In particular, they mentioned Jo Woo-jong, saying, "He said he would run the company but left first."
Furthermore, Jeom Ji-in noted, "There is a reason I brought the juniors today. Recently, Mr. Kim Dae-ho also left MBC, so every time someone leaves, it makes those still inside feel unsettled. Can those who left understand how cold it is outside?"
Jeom Ji-in was also curious about anchor Kim Seon-geun's true reason behind leaving the station three years ago. She remarked, "If you become a freelancer, anchors like Jeon Hyun-moo and Jo Woo-jong have recognition, and Jo Chung-hyun has family wealth. As for Kim Seon-geun, what does he have? It's a remarkable mystery."
In response, Kim Seon-geun revealed, "I left because of money. I received a call while filming '6 O'Clock, My Hometown' saying I've won the lottery. I couldn't concentrate on filming. Between the down payment, first payment, second payment, and education expenses for my children, as well as caring for my parents, I was overwhelmed, stating, 'I could not handle everything with my salary.' I don't know what will happen, but if I leave, there is a chance of earning a little more. At that time, the audition for 'Mr. Trot 2' came up, so I left at that timing but was eliminated quickly."
