In 'The Boss's Ears Are Donkey Ears', Kim Dae-ho names his younger brother as the key reason for his success as an announcer, drawing attention to the background.
KBS's entertainment program 'The Boss's Ears Are Donkey Ears' (hereafter 'Sadangui') is a self-reflective program for bosses in South Korea aimed at creating a workplace that is enjoyable to work in. In the last episode, it recorded a peak viewership rating of 5.7%, continuing its streak of being the number one entertainment program in the same time slot for 158 weeks in a row.

In the 310th episode airing on the 15th, it is revealed that Jung Ho-young's beloved apprentice is starting a udon shop, having invested his nephew's college tuition, raising concerns. In this context, Kim Dae-ho reveals that he received his announcer academy registration fee from his younger brother's ROTC salary, provoking Jeon Hyun-moo's anger.
As Jung Ho-young's cherished apprentice prepares to open the udon shop independently, Jung Ho-young joins in purchasing supplies. The apprentice states, "I plan to open in a 4-pyeong food court," and insists on having a good noodle-making machine despite the capital being only 30 million won, causing Jung Ho-young to worry. Especially, as he chooses high-end items despite the small capital, a second-hand goods seller expresses concern, saying, "There are people among the visitors who have no budget but are being greedy." The apprentice also reveals that he invested his nephew's college tuition to buy a noodle-making machine worth 20 million won, making everyone sigh.
Park Myung-soo expresses concern, saying, "You've taken your nephew's future." However, Kim Dae-ho's strong empathy draws attention to the background. When Kim Dae-ho confesses, "I owe my younger brother," Jeon Hyun-moo reacts with anger, "Are you even human?" Kim Dae-ho explains, "I wanted to take the announcer exam, but I was afraid my parents would think I was being foolish, so I couldn't tell them." He adds, "My younger brother was serving in the ROTC at that time. I borrowed 4 million won from him to attend the academy," which brings laughter from everyone.
It remains to be seen whether Jung Ho-young's apprentice, who unexpectedly received support from Kim Dae-ho, will be able to open the udon shop safely, which will be revealed in the main broadcast of 'Sadangui'.
The day when former announcers Jeon Hyun-moo and Kim Dae-ho, representing MBC and KBS, crossed paths and made the audience sweat will be fully revealed in the main broadcast of 'Sadangui'.
'The Boss's Ears Are Donkey Ears' airs every Sunday at 4:40 PM.
