Kim Jin-woong's mother watched announcer Hong Joo-yeon closely as a potential daughter-in-law on "Boss's Ears Are Donkey Ears."
The daily life of announcer Eom Ji-in was depicted on the 30th broadcast of KBS2's "Boss's Ears Are Donkey Ears."
On that day, Kim Jin-woong arrived at work early in the morning for the weekend live broadcast. However, Eom Ji-in was already at the announcer's office sleeping early. Eom Ji-in stated that she would closely mentor Kim Jin-woong after Hong Joo-yeon and pointed out Kim Jin-woong's outfit. In response, Kim Jin-woong said he was the type to sweat a lot and took off his padded coat, revealing chest hair which surprised everyone. Eom Ji-in pointed out, "You used to resemble Jeon Hyun-moo, and now you have chest hair like him?"
Kim Jin-woong, who was pointed out on some aspects through transfer monitoring from previous broadcasts, proceeded with the live broadcast after receiving makeup. While conducting Kim Jin-woong's broadcast monitoring, Eom Ji-in, having come in early in the morning, couldn't resist the overwhelming sleep and dozed off, eliciting laughter.
After the live broadcast ended, Eom Ji-in conveyed her monitoring of Kim Jin-woong. While the critiques were endless, Kim Jin-woong mentioned that Eom Ji-in had fallen asleep, which earned him further scolding. While being scolded, Hong Joo-yeon appeared with an unfamiliar woman, who was revealed to be Kim Jin-woong's mother, surprising everyone. Eom Ji-in, who had been scolding Kim Jin-woong, was startled and corrected her posture.
The mother called Kim Jin-woong "Daniel" and took control of the situation. Being a middle school English teacher, she displayed elegance in her speech, but also had a quirky side that elicited laughter. Eom Ji-in and Hong Joo-yeon made fun of Kim Jin-woong by saying, "Daniel stop" and "Daniel be quiet" when he was too energetic or unaware of the atmosphere.
Eom Ji-in, Kim Jin-woong, and Hong Joo-yeon continued their conversation while eating lunch boxes prepared by Kim Jin-woong's mother. In particular, the mother paid special attention to Hong Joo-yeon, giving her extra side dishes. When asked about the qualities she wanted in a daughter-in-law, she responded, "I hope she is kind and has a good heart. Rather than being from a prestigious school, I hope she is cultured, dignified, cheerful, bright, and lively." When she learned that Hong Joo-yeon was born in 1997, she said, "She looked bright and cheerful, which I liked, and seeing her in person, she's even prettier and more refined."
Amid this, a love line surrounding Hong Joo-yeon was also mentioned. A three-way competition arose with Jeon Hyun-moo, Announcer Nam Hyun-jong, and Kim Jin-woong regarding the "May wedding rumors." When her mother asked who was the best, Hong Joo-yeon replied, "Jin-woong senior is the best." Noticing the situation, Jeon Hyun-moo smiled and said, "Well done."
