In KBS2 'Boss's Ears Are Donkey Ears', announcer Kim Jin-woong's mother throws a direct question at announcer Hong Joo-yeon, asking who she thinks is better between Jeon Hyun-moo and Kim Jin-woong.
KBS 2TV 'Boss's Ears Are Donkey Ears' (directed by Ahn Sang-eun, hereafter referred to as 'Boss's Ears') is a voluntary program for self-reflection and perspective-taking among bosses in South Korea to create a pleasant working environment. The 298th episode recorded the highest viewership rating of 7.1%, maintaining its position as the No. 1 entertainment show in the same time slot for 147 consecutive weeks. (based on Nielsen Korea)
Today (30th), the 299th episode of 'Boss's Ears' will feature announcer Um Bo-suk, who is willing to come to work on weekends, eager to mentor his junior announcer Kim Jin-woong closely. However, during this process, Kim Jin-woong's mother makes an unexpected visit while waiting for her son, leading to a tense meeting among Um Bo-suk, Kim Jin-woong, Hong Joo-yeon, and Kim Jin-woong's mother.
On this day, Kim Jin-woong's mother, who stopped by the announcer's office to deliver clothes her son left behind, expressed her affectionate love, saying, "My son is the precious and beloved only child at home." However, while checking Kim Jin-woong's messy desk and cabinet, she powerfully reprimands her son, saying, "Daniel (Jin-woong's childhood name), be quiet," capturing everyone's attention with her gentle charisma.
In particular, while keeping an eye on the constantly nagging announcer Um Bo-suk, Kim Jin-woong's mother warmly gazes at the composed Hong Joo-yeon, capturing everyone's attention. Revealing that she has retired as a middle school English teacher, Kim Jin-woong's mother stops Hong Joo-yeon, who is about to leave, saying, "I prepared a lunch box. I really hope you eat it," and affectionately watches Hong Joo-yeon eating the mother's lunch box deliciously, saying, "I want a kind and good-hearted daughter-in-law," making Um Bo-suk's ears perk up.
She continues by saying, "I hope my daughter-in-law is cheerful, bright, and lively," while not taking her eyes off Hong Joo-yeon. Looking at Kim Jin-woong and Hong Joo-yeon side by side, she comments, "I know my desires may seem excessive, but you two look good together," causing a stir in the studio.
Eventually, Kim Jin-woong's mother surprises everyone by asking Hong Joo-yeon, "I saw you on the broadcast. It seems like you were with Hyun-moo. Who do you think is better between Jeon Hyun-moo and Kim Jin-woong?" Hong Joo-yeon is taken aback, and Jeon Hyun-moo, who is even more surprised than anyone, reacts as Kim Jin-woong praises Hong Joo-yeon, saying, "Joo-yeon can't be disliked by mothers," which evokes feelings of sympathy from Park Myung-soo.
The answer from announcer Hong Joo-yeon to the bold confession of Kim Jin-woong's mother, who is more proactive and charismatic than Kim Jin-woong, will be revealed during the live broadcast of 'Boss's Ears.'
Meanwhile, KBS 2TV 'Boss's Ears Are Donkey Ears' airs every Sunday at 4:40 p.m.
