MC Jun Hyun-moo of 'Boss's ears are donkey ears' revealed a strange wariness toward Kim Dae-ho, a 5-month freelance announcer and his junior, providing great laughter.
The 310th episode of the entertainment program 'Boss's ears are donkey ears' aired on KBS 2TV on the 15th, recorded a peak viewership rating of 5.3%, continuing its momentum as the number one entertainment show in the same time slot for 159 weeks in a row. (According to Nielsen Korea)
On this day, Kim Dae-ho appeared as a special MC of 'Boss's ears are donkey ears' and declared his ambitious aspiration to become 'the second son of KBS.' In response, Jun Hyun-moo said, 'After I became a freelancer and appeared on MBC, I also said I would become 'the son of MBC,' and it eventually came true,' but began to keep an eye on him, saying, 'I acknowledge that Kim Dae-ho is appearing on 'Immortal Songs,' but I didn't expect he would reach 'Boss's ears are donkey ears.'
Boss Eom Ji-in attracted attention by asking Kim Dae-ho, 'How much has the appearance fee gone up?' showing great interest in the freelance salary. Immediately understanding the intention behind the question, Jun Hyun-moo told Eom Ji-in, 'When KBS gives you work, stay close,' preemptively blocking his junior's transition to freelance, causing everyone to burst into laughter.
Before the 2025 presidential election vote counting broadcast, Boss Eom Ji-in gathered his juniors to prepare a mock broadcast, emphasizing confidence and thorough preparation. Watching this, Jun Hyun-moo remarked, 'Announcers are actually the busiest during the elections, Olympics, and World Cup seasons, but I was the most free at that time,' and confessed, 'I went on vacation then to learn and practice the choreography of SHINee,' eliciting laughter.
To prepare for the mock vote counting broadcast, Eom Ji-in invited veteran announcers Park Ji-hyun and Kim Jin-hee from KBS announcer's department to educate his juniors. As the junior announcers continued to make mistakes, sharp criticisms from senior announcers, including Eom Ji-in, followed. Then, Kim Dae-ho empathized, saying, 'There isn't a single wrong thing the seniors said. These are truly invaluable pieces of advice for juniors.'
Boss Jeong Ho-young, with his former disciple Park Si-hyung, who has worked together for seven years, rolled up his sleeves to help open his udon restaurant, bringing warmth. Jeong Ho-young visited the secondhand kitchenware district in Hwanghak-dong with Park. Despite a capital of 30 million won, he expressed concern for the junior, who showed only interest in expensive tableware and noodle-making machines, saying, 'Face reality.'
A while later, Jeong Ho-young, who visited the newly opened udon restaurant, ordered two bowls of the representative menu to conduct an unannounced inspection. However, issues such as long cooking times were soon discovered, causing disappointment. Ultimately, Jeong Ho-young proposed a 'guerrilla tasting event' for the successful operation of his junior's restaurant, with the condition that if the junior won by showcasing a new menu udon, they could use his photo for restaurant promotion.
At the tasting event, Jeong Ho-young presented 'Youjeong' made with flat udon noodles and sesame sauce, while the director showcased 'Yeolbim Noodles' using young radish kimchi. After tasting both dishes, citizens eventually gave more votes to the director's 'Yeolbim Noodles,' leading to Chef Jeong Ho-young's photo being plastered all over the restaurant. Upon seeing the promotional photo, Jun Hyun-moo humorously remarked, 'Looks like a lucky toad, like a lucky toad.'
Meanwhile, Lee Soon-sil, dreaming of a cold noodle store, visited Dongducheon again with her staff. In the foreign tourist district of Dongducheon, Lee Soon-sil generated laughter with her unfiltered and ridiculous English skills while interacting with foreigners. While conducting market research at a famous kebab store in the area, she asked a visiting U.S. military member, 'I was a nurse's assistant in the North Korean People's Army,' and then continued, 'America? USB?' causing her staff to grab their necks in disbelief.
Moving to the large market in Dongducheon, Lee Soon-sil could not hide her smile amidst the cheers of the citizens. As handshake and tasting requests poured in from all directions, she said, 'I could run for Congress, right? I could revive the Dongducheon commercial area,' laughing about her increased popularity thanks to 'Boss's ears are donkey ears.'
On this day, a shaman who coincidentally encountered Lee Soon-sil at the market caught attention by saying that she has a lot of luck on her face and anything she does will go well. Lee Soon-sil spontaneously asked, 'When do you think Jun Hyun-moo will get married?' The shaman replied, 'Based on the known fortune-telling, he will get married late. He will probably marry in his 60s and have a child,' shocking the studio. But Jun Hyun-moo calmly responded, 'I have a shaman in Apgujeong who also said I would get married at 60. I've heard so much about getting married late that I'm no longer surprised,' eliciting even more laughter.
