Kim Jin-woong, a KBS announcer, remarked on the 'Do Gyeong-wan and Jang Yoon-jung sub' issue, resulting in the suspension of 'Boss's ears are like donkey ears' for rewatching.
On the 25th, Wave suspended the rewatching of certain episodes of the KBS 2TV entertainment program 'Boss's ears are like donkey ears' (abbreviated as 'Sa-dang-gwi'). The affected episodes are numbers 165 through 167, 248, 251 through 253, and 320.
Among these, episode 320 aired the day before on the 24th and became a hot potato due to remarks made by Kim Jin-woong, a KBS announcer. However, the production team of 'Sa-dang-gwi' is currently maintaining silence on the matter.
On that day in 'Sa-dang-gwi', announcer Kim Jin-woong conducted an interview at a marriage information company, stating, "I can't live like senior Do Gyeong-wan. It may be discourteous to my senior, but I can't live as someone's sub."
Immediately following the remark, fellow guest announcer Eom Ji-in rebutted, "Why is Do Gyeong-wan a sub?" and panel member singer Lee Ji-hye mentioned that Kim Jin-woong had cited actress Kim Goeun and aespa's Karina as his ideal types, quipping, "It seems you should live as a sub," which elicited laughter.
However, Do Gyeong-wan's wife, singer Jang Yoon-jung, raised concerns about Kim Jin-woong's remarks on her personal SNS. She expressed displeasure, saying, "We don't have a friendship, so that's absurd" and noted, "There are no subs among family." In response, Kim Jin-woong reached out to apologize and even posted an apology on SNS, but there have been calls for his departure, stating that his remarks crossed the line.
'Sa-dang-gwi' is a voluntary self-reflection entertainment program for bosses in Korea, aimed at creating a workplace that is fun to work in. It airs every Sunday at 4:40 p.m.
