In the KBS2 program 'Listen to Your Boss's Ears,' it was noted that Um Ji-in reflecting on ancestors while appraising a 100-year-old family heirloom draws interest in that background.
In episode 304 of KBS2's 'Listen to Your Boss's Ears' (hereafter referred to as 'LBYBE'), which airs on the 4th, Um Ji-in's boss visits Commissioner Lee Sang-moon to learn how to identify genuine antiques, alongside Hong Ju-yeon, an announcer selected as the MC for 'The Authenticity Show.'
In this process, Um Ji-in's boss requests an appraisal of three family heirlooms from Commissioner Lee Sang-moon. Um Ji-in reveals a 100-year-old porcelain piece from her family, saying, "It is a precious treasure of our family." She adds, "It's been cherished since my father's grandmother's grandmother's time," piquing everyone's interest. However, Jun Hyun-moo jokes, "It's worth 42,000 won," causing everyone to burst into laughter.
However, unexpectedly, Commissioner Lee Sang-moon remarks, "It truly is a genuine piece that is 100 years old," flipping the situation around. Gaining confidence, Um Ji-in predicts, "I expect it to be 50 million won," anticipating a successful antique investment. Just as excitement reaches its peak, Commissioner Lee asks, "Do you know Dapsimni?" leading to an unexpected discussion that leaves Um Ji-in's dark circles drooping down to her chin. Subsequently, a visibly frustrated Um Ji-in brings out two precious heirlooms, including a celadon bowl using inlay technique, her eyes shining brightly with anticipation for the good news.
Um Ji-in proudly states, "You can tell at a glance that it's expensive, right? It's a family heirloom from our house." However, Commissioner Lee cautiously remarks, as if revealing a confidential secret, "If this is an heirloom, it seems that your family isn't of noble status," which elicits laughter from Hong Ju-yeon. In a moment of emotion, Um Ji-in reportedly shouted, "Our family is noble!" generating curiosity about the identity of the three heirlooms that unexpectedly led to Um Ji-in reflecting on her ancestors.
Meanwhile, KBS2's 'Listen to Your Boss's Ears' airs every Sunday at 4:40 p.m.
