The love line surrounding anchor Hong Joo-yeon in 'Boss's Ears Are Donkey Ears' has become tense.
In the episode aired on the 30th of KBS2's 'Boss's Ears Are Donkey Ears', the everyday lives of bosses such as chef Jung Ji-sun and anchor Eom Ji-in were depicted.
On that day, chef Jung Ji-sun had a meal and shared time with restaurant staff, including her husband, CEO Lee Yong-woo. After choosing doenjang jjigae as the menu, Jung Ji-sun asked her husband, "Isn't it different from what we eat at home?" To which her husband replied, "Have you ever made doenjang jjigae?" In the studio, Park Myung-soo added humor by mentioning his own family's circumstances, saying, "Does your wife make doenjang jjigae at home? It doesn't happen often, does it?"
Jung Ji-sun expressed concerns about her son's future. She said, "When I asked my son about his dreams, he said he wants to be a wealthy unemployed person. I was really frustrated, but I thought I need to nurture his dreams." The son, who is currently in the 5th grade of elementary school, boasts a strong physique at 168 cm and has reportedly been offered to join the school's shot put team. It was also confirmed that the son communicates a lot with his father and has promised gifts.
However, Jung Ji-sun appeared to be hearing this for the first time, and Kim Sook noted, "You would know if you went home. Recently, he came to me crying, saying an article about divorce came out." Jung Ji-sun said, "It was mentioned on 'Boss's Ears Are Donkey Ears' that we are the world's worst couple," to which Jeon Hyun-moo remarked, "On 'Boss's Ears Are Donkey Ears,' I got married and Jung Ji-sun got divorced. That's impressive."
Jung Ji-sun sought to increase the number of academies for her son's development. In response, Jeon Hyun-moo advised, "I have had experience with small math private tutoring while at Mokdong Kids. Among the three of us, I was the worst in math. I've had instances where I felt embarrassed because I didn't understand, but I got through it. Just sending him to academies won't be enough." Later, Jung Ji-sun rode along with her son to the academy for discussions, and he shocked her by saying that she looked "pitiful" for working so hard. After moving from jiu-jitsu academy to soccer academy, Jung Ji-sun transformed into a passionate mom, offering her enthusiastic support.
Earlier, anchor Eom Ji-in, who had been closely mentoring anchor Hong Joo-yeon, took it upon herself to closely mentor junior anchor Kim Jin-woong, even putting in weekend shifts. Kim Jin-woong, who arrived at dawn in a natural style, shocked everyone with an unexpected chest hair reveal. Eom Ji-in exclaimed, "Are you starting to resemble Jeon Hyun-moo with the chest hair?" and then composed herself before monitoring previous broadcasts to start mentoring Kim Jin-woong. After receiving criticism for his anxious gaze and misreading, Kim Jin-woong, while getting made up, boldly stated, "I've been told I resemble Lee Jay-hoon, Choo Young-Woo, and Byeon Woo-seok these days," but was immediately corrected, causing laughter. Eom Ji-in accompanied him to the live broadcast studio, leading Jeon Hyun-moo and others to raise suspicions about her marital status, saying, "Isn't she married?" and "I've never seen her husband."
After the live broadcast, Eom Ji-in provided feedback on Kim Jin-woong's performance. Amid endless critiques, Kim Jin-woong even heard the remark, "Isn't this why you can't date?" Eom Ji-in was extremely frustrated when Kim Jin-woong's mother entered the announcer's office with a jacket for the relay. Seeing her son being scolded, the mother's expression turned stern, but she requested, "If there's any reason to scold him, please scold him a lot." However, Eom Ji-in insensitively made negative remarks about Kim Jin-woong in front of his mother and was admonished.
Kim Jin-woong's mother watched her son at work, checking his seat, and had a meal together with Hong Joo-yeon. The mother particularly could not take her eyes off Hong Joo-yeon while offering her food, and while watching Hong Joo-yeon eat heartily, she expressed her ideal daughter-in-law as wishing for her to be "kind and with a good heart. Rather than having a good educational background, I hope she is cultured, dignified, cheerful, bright, and energetic." When she learned that Hong Joo-yeon was born in 1997, she commented, "She looks bright and cheerful, which I liked, and seeing her in person, she was much prettier and better." When Hong Joo-yeon asked about Jeon Hyun-moo, Kim Jin-woong, and Nam Hyun-jong, she replied, "Of all, Jin-woong sunbae is the best," which made her mother smile.
Watching the suddenly intensified love line, Kim Sook stated, "If I were in such a situation, I would compliment Hong Joo-yeon and say she has someone," which evoked laughter reminiscent of Jeon Hyun-moo. Jeon Hyun-moo remarked, "I should meet Kim Jin-woong separately later," but he praised Hong Joo-yeon's response, which made her mother smile, saying, "Well done."
