In the KBS2 program 'Boss's Ears Are Donkey Ears,' sensitive boss Byun Jin-seop ultimately announces his breakup with longtime fan Kim Hyo-jin.
KBS 2TV's 'Boss's Ears Are Donkey Ears' (directed by Ahn Sang-eun, hereafter 'Sadangui') is a self-reflective program for bosses in South Korea to create a workplace where they enjoy their work. The previous episode recorded a highest viewership rating of 5.2%, showcasing its momentum as the top variety show in the same time slot for 155 consecutive weeks.
The 307th episode of 'Sadangui,' airing on the 25th (Sunday), features Byun Jin-seop's 'transformation' concert in Busan. On the day of the concert, Byun Jin-seop remarks, "Typically, singers are so sensitive that no one can come near them on concert day, but I am quite easygoing." However, when his manager turns on the air conditioning in the car while they are traveling, he scolds, "Will turning on the air conditioning help me?" Later, when he arrives early on site and has to wait for the staff, he continually grumbles, "I always come out early. Everyone else takes their time," transforming into 'complaining Byeon Gil-dong' from 'happy Dooly.'
As the rehearsal begins in earnest, Byeon Gil-dong's sensitivity levels rise further. Byun Jin-seop tells the staff, "Make it exciting. Don't make it dull," and "Make sure it resonates," throwing out requests that no one understands, which causes confusion among everyone. As Byun Jin-seop's expression becomes increasingly complex, Jun Hyun-moo remarks, "Earlier, he was like Gargamel," confirming the transformation of Byun Jin-seop from happy Dooly to complaining Byeon Gil-dong to enraged Gargamel. Observing his own image, Byun Jin-seop reflects, "I'm getting angrier, so my face is getting uglier," suddenly entering a self-reflective mode that elicits laughter from everyone.
The one who poured oil on the fire was none other than Byun Jin-seop's longtime fan, comedian Kim Hyo-jin. Watching Byun Jin-seop, Kim Hyo-jin comments, "Byun Jin-seop is going through menopause now," and "It's hot because of the menopause," provoking Byun Jin-seop's anger while confirming his struggle with menopause. Byun Jin-seop turns to Kim Hyo-jin and says, "I feel like this will be the end of our relationship on this show," leading to a tense atmosphere. Notably, on this day, Byun Jin-seop also erupts in jealousy towards his second son Byun Jae-jun, who has drawn attention for resembling Yoo Ji-tae.
Following the declaration of his breakup with a longtime fan and the eruption of jealousy towards his second son, Byun Jin-seop's rollercoaster-like performance in Busan will be revealed during the main broadcast of 'Sadangui.'
