Jun Hyun-moo lamented Hong Ju-yeon's acting and got swept up in 'breakup rumors'.
The 27th broadcast of KBS2's 'The boss's ears are like those of a donkey' depicted the daily lives of boss Song Jung-hoon of Cupbap, KBS announcer Um Ji-in, and boss Lee Soon-sil.
On that day's broadcast, Lee Yong-sik mentioned announcer Um Ji-in, saying, "For 8 years of live broadcasting on 'Morning Yard', she woke up at 5 a.m. every Monday to rush to KBS. Everyone feels pressure and nerves during live broadcasts; what about ordinary people? Announcer Um Ji-in puts them at ease. She makes them comfortable with every single word, even without taking Cheongshimwon medicine," praising her as the Cheongshimwon of the announcer industry. Announcer Um Ji-in expressed her gratitude, stating, "It seems I am receiving compliments for the first time after appearing in 'The boss's ears are like those of a donkey,'" but Jun Hyun-moo and Park Myung-soo jokingly teased, "Most of these compliments are given during farewell broadcasts; is today your last day?"
Um Ji-in attracted attention by mimicking Kim Ji-won from 'Fight for My Way' during acting classes with fellow announcers. She exuded confidence, stating that she has been cast in KBS2's weekend drama 'For Eagle Brothers', and noted that she had previously appeared in 'My Father is Weird' among other shows.
Um Ji-in took acting lessons with announcers Kim Jin-woong and Hong Ju-yeon from acting expert Professor Kim Hyun-a. She explained, "Kim Jin-woong is too much, and Hong Ju-yeon still lacks confidence, so I directly invited someone who can properly teach acting, vocalization, and breathing for both me and the junior colleagues." Professor Kim Hyun-a gained credibility as she is known to be the acting teacher for Cha Eun-woo and Shin Ye Eun.
Kim Jin-woong expressed his desire to learn acting and make a cameo in a drama like Jun Hyun-moo. Along with this, a scene from Jun Hyun-moo's participation in 'Dream High' was revealed, where he surprised viewers with his acting alongside IU. Especially in his younger days, Jun Hyun-moo garnered attention for his thick hair, recalling, "Two-thirds of that is gone now. Back then, when a mosquito got in my hair, it couldn't get out."
Um Ji-in expressed pride in being someone who follows in the footsteps of announcers such as Oh Young-sil, Choi Song-hyun, and Oh Jeong-yeon, who debuted as announcers but are also active as actors, stating, "I am 'Kim Tae-hee of Yonsei University.'" Archived footage of Um Ji-in conducting an interview on the street during 'Sponge' was shown. In response, Jun Hyun-moo humorously asked, "Isn't it Kim Dae-hee?"
The level test was based on 'Autumn in My Heart.' Amidst the recreation of memorable scenes featuring Won Bin and Song Hye-kyo, Hong Ju-yeon and Um Ji-in took on the roles of Song Hye-kyo, while Kim Jin-woong played the role of Won Bin. Professor Kim Hyun-a pointed out, "Vocalization should change depending on the acting space, produced like in opera. Although it's artificial, it has improved significantly. Um Ji-in read her lines in a monotone, lacking emotion. I don't understand why she's trying to act." Professor Kim especially advised that "acting is a comprehensive art involving body, voice, and emotion, and effective physical utilization is important," providing special guidance.
While learning how to use her body, Kim Jin-woong overly expressed himself and ended up passing gas. In response, Jun Hyun-moo exclaimed, "Why is Ju-yeon letting it out next to me?" expressing his frustration, which elicited laughs. Kim Jin-woong defended himself, saying, "It was all acting. I was just faithfully following the learning process," but suspicion arose as there was a dark substance on his white pants, leading to doubts about whether he had soiled himself.
A few days later, on the day of filming, Um Ji-in was assigned to a waiting room with her name on it, heightening her anticipation, but she felt disappointed to find out she would be hosting a golf round event. Meanwhile, Kim Jin-woong and Hong Ju-yeon attracted attention while Um Ji-in was away, successfully landing a role in the drama. Particularly, when asked to perform a free act, Hong Ju-yeon mimicked Lee Jung-jae, leaving Jun Hyun-moo lamenting. Park Myung-soo and Kim Suk expressed their disappointment, asking, "Didn't you teach her?" and, "Did they break up?" to which Jun Hyun-moo responded, "If that's the case, there will be articles saying we broke up."
While doing an ad-lib, Um Ji-in faced restrictions from the production team, and Kim Jin-woong and Hong Ju-yeon, who went to the gallery, recalled their acting classes, raising their energy before calming the atmosphere. However, after finishing all the filming, the broadcast revealed that the three had only a total of 10 seconds of airtime, which brought laughter.
