Boss Jeong Ji-seon visited Michelin 1-star Chef Kim Do-yoon with 33 years of experience to consult on a new menu. In particular, Chef Kim Do-yoon’s treasure trove of maturation cells made Jeong Ji-seon‘s eyes widen. It’s a food ingredient that encompasses the land, sea, and air, including 3-year-old mackerel head, 3-year-old aged cod roe, 1-year-old duck esophagus, 1 year-old sea cucumber dried for 1 year and 6 months, and 7-year-old pickled prickly ash. In the end, when Ji-seon Jeong covetously eyed it, saying, “Give me that. I think it‘ll go well with Chinese food,” Do-yoon Kim firmly defended it, using his forearm muscles, saying, “No,” making everyone laugh. Above all, when asked about changes in sales since appearing on “Black and White Chef,” Ji-seon Jeong answered, “It’s gone up 3-fold,” and Do-yoon Kim answered, “We‘ve escaped the deficit,” drawing attention. On the other hand, he confessed the difficulties caused by his increased fame, saying, “I got a stranger DM me asking to borrow money.” After that, the two chefs’ exciting new menu showdown using beef as the ingredient unfolded. Jung Ji-sun presented a Chinese traditional dish, golden gyeongjangyuksa, with green onions and cucumbers, as her new menu, while Kim Do-yoon presented a North Korean-style sundae without noodles. Kim Dong-wan, who was a judge, praised each new menu item, saying, “It tastes like Peking duck” and “A rediscovery of sundae,” before giving the victory to Kim Do-yoon’s sundae with the overall comment, “Everything was harmonious.” However, Jung Ji-sun made everyone laugh by pointing out the connections between Kim Dong-wan and Kim Do-yoon, saying, “Isn’t it because the two of you are close?” and rejecting the idea.



The date of designer boss Ji Chun-hee’s ‘Miss Gee Collection 2025 S/S Collection’ has been revealed. As befitting the godmother of the fashion world, Kwon Sang-woo, Myung Se-bin, Park Kyung-rim, Oh Yeon-soo-Son Ji-chang couple, Cha Ye-ryun-Joo Sang-wook couple, Na Young-hee, Choi Myung-gil, Jaurim‘s Kim Yoon-ah, and Go Kyung-pyo, a group of Korea’s top stars who are reminiscent of film festivals, came out to light up the event. In particular, everyone was very nervous, preparing 300 raincoats for the forecast of localized showers, but the clear sky turned their worries into admiration. Even in the final rehearsal, Ji Chun-hee did not miss even the smallest details, saying, “Your belt is tilted to the right,” “Don‘t button your vest,” and “Curl your bangs more.” The event, which began with the models’ cheers, caught everyone‘s attention by showing the excitement and freedom of travel, as well as the warmth of spring and the splendor of summer. In particular, Jeon Hyun-moo quickly chose Jebewon’s outfit as his own year-end awards ceremony outfit, causing laughter. Also, the event that had been going on for 4 months ended successfully with Ji Chun-hee greeting her daughter Ji Jin-hee and decorating the finale, receiving a hot box.

Announcer Uhm Ji-in came to work at 3 a.m. to give special mentoring to her junior Hong Joo-yeon. In particular, when Uhm Ji-in pointed out to Hong Joo-yeon, who was going to work with hair rollers and a face pack, “The company is for social life. It doesn‘t look good,” Jeon Hyun-moo responded, “Why are you talking so much? If the hair rollers interfere with work, it would be a problem, but they don’t interfere,” and defended Hong Joo-yeon as a spokesperson who knows how to understand the hearts of MZ people. Also, Jeon Hyun-moo immediately caught Hong Joo-yeon‘s mistake while reciting the anchor comment, and then immediately demonstrated the long and short sounds in the comment, “’For the first time, the 5th place team has advanced to the wildcard playoffs‘”, saying that the long sounds are the numbers 5 and jin. Uhm Ji-in applauded Jeon Hyun-moo’s unique professional mode and said, “As expected from our senior” and clapped her hands. In particular, Jeon Hyun-moo defended Uhm Ji-in‘s nagging, saying, “It’s not easy to cut an announcer‘s hair. News viewers are more conservative than you think.” Uhm Ji-in also shared a sad and humorous experience, saying, “There was a time when I got cut from my MC position because of malicious comments about my skirt riding up above my knees.” Meanwhile, Uhm Ji-in and Hong Joo-yeon surprised everyone by choosing Jeon Hyun-moo as their ideal type instead of Oh Eon-jong and Nam Hyeon-jong, with the reasons, “My classmate doesn’t feel like a man” and “I like cute guys” in the KBS announcer ideal type world cup.

Meanwhile, ‘The Boss‘s Ears Are Donkey Ears’ airs every Sunday at 4:40 PM on KBS 2TV.
