KBS newscasters held a mock evaluation meeting ahead of the election counting broadcast.
On the afternoon of the 15th, KBS2's entertainment program 'The Boss's Ears are Donkey Ears' (hereinafter 'Sadangui') featured chefs Jeong Ho-young, Lee Soon-sil, and Eom Ji-in appearing in turn.
On this day, chef Jeong Ho-young appeared as the first boss. He visited Hwanghak-dong with his disciple, Manager Park Si-hyung, to help him stand on his own and looked at dishes and other items.
Manager Park Si-hyung, who is considering a capital of 30 million won, chose only expensive dishes without thinking about finances, which made the panelists feel frustrated, asking, "Why is he doing that?"
Two months later, Jeong Ho-young conducted an unannounced inspection. When he visited Manager Park's udon restaurant in Sangam-dong, he asked, "Are three people working in this small place? Are you doing well?" and entered the kitchen. Manager Park mentioned that he spent 20 million won on an automatic noodle maker and invested 15 million won as a deposit.
When Jeong Ho-young asked, "You said you had 30 million won, but you're over by 12 million won?" Manager Park replied, "I received my nephew's tuition in advance," surprising the panelists.
While watching the VCR, Kim Dae-ho said, "On the contrary, I owed my younger brother money. When I was preparing to be a newscaster, I had to attend an academy. But my parents wanted me to have a normal job, so I couldn't tell them."
He continued, "At that time, my younger brother was in the ROTC, and I used that money to attend the academy. It cost 4 million won at that time," and revealed that he had already paid it all back.
Park Myung-soo exclaimed, "You earned that money with so much difficulty!" in anger.
Later, Manager Park hurriedly made udon for Jeong Ho-young, but the neighboring udon restaurant served food faster. Moreover, the price of the neighboring udon was 4,500 won, half the price of Manager Park's restaurant.
After tasting Manager Park's udon, Jeong Ho-young pointed out, "You need to reduce the time. In a food court, it should come out in 3 minutes." Manager Park, who sells an average of 60 bowls a day, said, "There aren't as many customers here as I thought. My dreams were big, but it's not easy in reality. Can I use a photo of the boss?" Jeong Ho-young responded that they shouldn't take it easy and initiated a guerrilla cooking competition.
Jeong Ho-young cooked cold udon, while Manager Park prepared spicy cold noodles. After portioning out 50 servings, they began a blind test on a street in Sangam-dong. The voting results showed that Manager Park's spicy cold noodles won, and Jeong Ho-young denied reality, saying, "I was trying to lose on purpose."
The second boss to appear was Lee Soon-sil. After Dongtan, Lee Soon-sil headed to a kebab shop. The owner of the kebab shop, which has many regular customers and decent income, shared a tip with Lee Soon-sil, saying, "The store costs 400 million won."
As Lee Soon-sil began serious market research, a shaman approached her and said, "You have a lot of fortune on your face, and if you open a restaurant in Dongducheon, it will be a big hit!" bringing good news. When Lee Soon-sil asked, "When do you think Jeon Hyun-moo will get married?" the shaman replied, "If I say this, it might make you very sad, but when I read your fortune, it seems like he will get married very late."
Hearing this, Jeon Hyun-moo said, "All the skilled shamans say that," feeling frustrated. The shaman added, "He will get married in his 60s. He will marry a woman with a significant age difference and have one child."
The third boss featured KBS newscasters, revealing the situation the day before the election counting broadcast. Announcer Eom Ji-in confidently entered the main studio and the broadcasting truck, nagging, "Actually, I'm anxious. I did a mock broadcast, but..."
It turned out that the newscasters participated in a mock evaluation meeting 15 days prior. Eom Ji-in said, "The election counting broadcast is coming up soon. I asked for thorough training without mistakes this time, so I invited some valuable people," introducing announcers Kim Jin-hee and Park Ji-hyun.
Eom Ji-in scolded Kim Jin-woong and Hong Joo-yeon, saying, "Did you two wear matching outfits like a couple again?" After confirming that they were wearing the same brand, Eom Ji-in warned, "Office romances are not allowed?" but Hong Joo-yeon unexpectedly confessed, "My grandmother thinks Kim Jin-woong is nice these days. She says age difference doesn't matter."
Kim Jin-woong also chimed in, "My mother also likes Joo-yeon now," causing Jeon Hyun-moo to be taken aback, saying, "What? Can I cry?" Jeon Hyun-moo revealed, "Jin-woong's mother came to the announcer's office. I noticed the subtle atmosphere between the two at that time. So I intentionally haven't contacted them. I was worried they might feel uncomfortable."
Hearing this, Kim Dae-ho asked, "Can we say baseless things like this here?" and when asked if there was someone he liked among the juniors, he replied, "There was. But I can't say it."
The mock evaluation meeting began. Announcer Park Ji-hyun, who saw the opening, advised, "Eun-hye did 'Hello' twice. I thought her quick thinking was lacking. Trust is important in the counting broadcast, but if you greet twice, it shows you're a rookie, which lowers trust."
Next, the exit poll segment followed. Park Ji-hyun pointed out, "I heard the term 'predicted first place' used a lot? Is there any meaning in saying first place when there are only two candidates?" and Jeon Hyun-moo praised, "Park Ji-hyun is amazing. What she says is worth listening to."
'Sadangui' can be seen every Sunday at 4:45 PM on KBS2.
