Boss Lee Soon-sil smiled with satisfaction as he received New Year's greetings from his hometown juniors, who are like daughters. To the dance parade of the juniors hoping to receive New Year's cash, Lee Soon-sil gave 500 won and $1 as New Year's cash. Nam Min-hee made everyone laugh by saying, "In North Korea, $1 is the best, but in South Korea, the Shin Saimdang 50,000 won bill is the best." Lee Soon-sil also showcased a frugal side by gathering items like a mini washing machine, a dishwasher, and a dryer that were in a recycling bin in the APT. Afterward, he visited the guardhouse to share food and exchange good wishes. The place Lee Soon-sil took the juniors afterward was a photo studio. Following the North Korean custom of going to a photo studio with the whole family on Lunar New Year, they intended to take a commemorative picture. Laughter erupted at Lee Soon-sil's assertiveness in demanding Photoshop adjustments, and each of them entered the studio after getting dressed up, showing much softer expressions and poses compared to the awkward start, which delighted everyone watching. Lee Soon-sil performed enchanting adjustments like enlarging the eyes and shrinking the face, turning the studio into a sea of laughter and starting the new year on a joyful note.
Boss Kim Byung-hyun, a 'professional entrepreneur,' has announced a new beginning. To prepare for the opening of a new burger joint, Kim Byung-hyun, along with Jeong Ho-young, went out to conduct market research, busying themselves in a food court from early morning. Jeong Ho-young noted the price range of many items in the food court is below 10,000 won and highlighted the high lunchtime demand due to convenience, analyzing the pros and cons, while expressing concern over Kim Byung-hyun's handmade burger set priced at around 12,000 won. Actual workers also demonstrated a preference for dishes like gukbap, tonkatsu, and Je-yuk, making Kim Byung-hyun nervous. Subsequently, Kim Byung-hyun and Jeong Ho-young sought out a buffet-style restaurant for workers and were astonished by the unbeatable value available for 9,900 won. The restaurant owner mentioned that automatic serving by guests drastically reduced labor costs, and they used inexpensive ingredients, claiming that even with three hours of lunch service five days a week, they maintained a 35% profit margin. This made Kim Byung-hyun intrigued, as he declared, "Indeed, labor costs need to be cut. I need to stay focused on the burger joint," while also noting, "My wife is unaware of the new store contract," causing the cast to grab their necks in surprise. The third place they visited was a 40-year-old restaurant in Cheongpa-dong, whose beef bulgogi set was set up in just 15 seconds after ordering, impressing them with its visuals and taste. Kim Byung-hyun was moved by the self-service that offered comfort food like home-cooked meals and free dessert coffee, expressing, "If the new business in Yangjae-dong fails, I won't set foot in the same industry for a year," raising curiosity about his future.
Boss Jeong Ji-sun entered the recording of his son's favorite program, 'Defconn, how is it?' Jeong Ji-sun began practice before the recording with comedians Jo Su-yeon and Shin Yun-seung. During this process, Woo-hyung confirmed himself as a true fan of Shin Yun-seung, catching the attention of those around. While Woo-hyung believed Jo Su-yeon was Shin Yun-seung's girlfriend, the playful Jo Su-yeon revealed, "Aunt and uncle are getting married in May," surprising Woo-hyung. Such false news was transmitted to the studio. Kim Byung-hyun began deceiving by saying that Kim Suk and Park Myung-soo have become one, stating, "Hyun-moo will also get married next month." Consequently, Jun Hyun-moo confessed that he has been dating for a month, causing Kim Byung-hyun to marvelously ask, "Really?" bringing laughter.
Meanwhile, while Jeong Ji-sun was preparing to showcase bath-making in the corner, Woo-hyung and his friends, who escaped from the recording studio, strutted through the KBS hall and confidently asked comedian Jo Min-hyun for an autograph, declaring, "I am Jeong Ji-sun's son," to which Jeong Ji-sun responded, "I've never heard him say that before, so I'm surprised." However, just before the official recording, Woo-hyung approached Jeong Ji-sun, who was nervous behind the stage, and instead of offering support, said, "Please give me a card. I want to buy a drink," generating bursts of laughter. Amidst the audience's cheers, Jeong Ji-sun successfully completed the bath-making mission on his first 개콘 stage, showcasing his qualities as a world-class star chef. After the recording ended, at mealtime, Woo-hyung answered, "Still mom" when asked whether he preferred 'dining with mom' or 'receiving a cultural gift certificate worth 100,000 won,' impressing Jeong Ji-sun, yet also humorously commenting, "The workers getting scolded by mom are pitiful. Being scolded is the same as me," sparking laughter. As friends mentioned that Woo-hyung had many girlfriends, Jeong Ji-sun showed interest, and as the ideal partner questions between Shin Yun-seung and Jeong Ji-sun continued, Woo-hyung remarked, "Mom is pushing me into a corner," adding, "She is truly a devil, a devil," while also expressing, "Busy mom makes me feel bad. I hope you reduce work and travel with me more this year. I love you," making Jeong Ji-sun smile.
