Rumors of a breakup between Jun Hyun-moo and Hong Joo-yeon emerged on "Boss's Ears Are Donkey Ears."
The episode that aired on the 27th featured the daily lives of Cupbap boss Song Jeong-hoon and KBS announcer Eom Ji-in.
During the broadcast, Eom Ji-in, Kim Jin, and Hong Joo-yeon, who were set to take acting lessons, performed a level test on "Autumn in My Heart." While recreating iconic scenes from the drama starring Won Bin and Song Hye-kyo, Hong Joo-yeon and Eom Ji-in took on the roles of Song Hye-kyo, while Kim Jin-woong played the role of Won Bin.
Professor Kim Hyeon-a noted, "Vocalization should change depending on the acting space, but it sounds forced like classical music. It's artificial, but it's much better. Eom Ji-in read her lines in a monotone, which didn't convey the emotions. I wonder why she's even trying to act." Professor Kim particularly advised, "Acting is a comprehensive art that combines body, sound, and emotion, and effective physical utilization is important," before giving specialized guidance.
While learning how to move, Kim Jin-woong accidentally let out a fart due to overly using his body. Jun Hyun-moo quipped, "Why is (Hong) Joo-yeon farting next to me?" causing laughter. Kim Jin-woong defended himself by saying, "It was all an act. I was just faithfully following the learning method," although he was suspected of having accidentally soiled his white pants due to some dark stains.
A few days later, on the day of the shoot, Eom Ji-in received an assignment to the waiting room with her name on it, heightening her expectations. However, there was disappointment as her role was that of the events host for a golf round. During this time, Kim Jin-woong and Hong Joo-yeon showcased their charm while Eom Ji-in was away, leading to a decision for her to appear in the drama. In particular, when asked to perform freely, Hong Joo-yeon did an impression of Lee Jung-jae, which made Jun Hyun-moo feel regretful. Park Myung-soo and Kim Sook lamented, "Didn't you teach her?" and "Have you broken up?" to which Jun Hyun-moo despaired, saying, "If you keep this up, another article will come out saying we've broken up."
