'The Emperor of Ballad' Byun Jin-sub joined KBS2's observational variety show 'Boss's ears are donkey ears' (hereinafter 'Donkey Ears') as a new boss for the first time in his 38-year singing career, revealing a surprising charm of the 'sensitive boss' hidden behind his gentle and unassuming appearance.

On the 18th, KBS2's 'Boss's ears are donkey ears' aired, showcasing Byun Jin-sub's daily life as he celebrated his 38th debut anniversary.

After a long time granting a variety show appearance, Byun Jin-sub evaluated his own personality, saying, "I think I'm unassuming and have a good character," but the stories shared by the band members with whom he has been living together were quite different. They acknowledged that Byun Jin-sub is a loyal boss, but expressed honest complaints, saying, "He has a nagging style like Ko Gil-dong" and "His mood changes daily, so I don't know how to adjust to it."

This was revealed during a rehearsal for a performance in Busan. Contrary to his usual soft ballad-singing demeanor, Byun Jin-sub showed a sensitive and sharp side during practice. In particular, he pointed out a specific member, saying, "If something goes wrong, it's all your responsibility," and intensely focused on directing to create a 'three-dimensional feel' of the song, trying to get everyone on the same page.

When his explanation about the three-dimensional feel didn't easily get through, Byun Jin-sub expressed his frustration, ultimately exploding with, "What did I do wrong?" This moment revealed the sensitivity of a human who pursues perfection hidden behind the title of 'The Emperor of Ballad' and his gentle image, surfacing when he didn't get what he wanted.

Additionally, Byun Jin-sub shared stories of his luxurious two-story home and mentioned that he earned 2 billion won from past album revenue, which he used to buy a top-end foreign car. He also displayed pride and a sense of humor as a legendary singer by calling himself 'the person who created the word ballad' and 'BJS before BTS.'

His unexpected side as 'human' Byun Jin-sub, which contrasts with his emotional appearance on stage, brings fresh fun, and anticipation builds around what episodes of his boss life will be depicted in 'Boss's ears are donkey ears.'
