‘The Boss‘s Ears Are Donkey Ears’Anchor Hong Joo-yeon captures attention with her New Year’s wish for 2025 and her overnight mukbang that surpasses Ha Jung-woo.

The KBS 2TV ‘The Boss‘s Ears Are Donkey Ears’ (directed by Ahn Sang-eun/hereafter ‘Sadang-gwi’), which airs today (the 16th) at 4:40 PM, will feature the overnight shift work of the four announcers: Uhm Ji-in, Hong Joo-yeon, Jung Eun-hye, and Heo Yu-won. After taking a breather after finishing the midnight news, Uhm Ji-in prepares a late-night snack to satisfy her early morning hunger. Among the various menus such as mala-tang and tteokbokki, the menu chosen by Uhm Ji-in is the biggest enemy of dieting, cup ramen. Here, Jeon Hyun-moo recalls his days as an announcer by saying, “If you look under that chair over there, there will be a pile of cup ramen,” and Uhm Ji-in says, “I don’t have money anymore, so there can‘t be cup ramen piled up there,” and uses her personal card to buy a late-night snack.

On this day, Hong Joo-yeon’s easygoing charm unexpectedly shines during the mukbang. Anas, who brought snacks like ramen, bread, triangle kimbap, and cookies, sits next to each other and enjoys the highlight of the night shift snack together. Among them, Hong Joo-yeon surprises everyone by inhaling a cup of ramen without saying a word and then finishing off a triple combo of triangle kimbap and cola, showing the true meaning of ‘night shift mukbang’.

Kim Sook can‘t take her eyes off her and says, “She must be really hungry,” and Uhm Ji-in exclaims, “Joo-yeon really eats well,” and expresses admiration at the birth of a new type of night shift mukbanger who surpasses Ha Jung-woo.

Uhm Ji-in, who has filled her stomach, leads her juniors to the rooftop. The KBS rooftop is the best place for new recruits to take their first group photo, as it offers a panoramic view of the entire Yeouido area. Here, Uhm Ji-in, who was looking at the rising sun, expresses her desire for an award by saying, “Following the Best Icon Award last year, this time, please let me win the Entertainment Grand Prize.” Hong Joo-yeon, who was quietly watching this, makes everyone burst out laughing by saying, “Please give me the Best Icon Award in 2025.” and expressing her ambition to inherit the award that her senior Uhm Ji-in passed down.

Expectations are rising for the story of Hong Joo-yeon and Anaz’s ups and downs on duty, whose candid personalities are considered their greatest charms.
