Anchor Eom Ji-in boldly revealed the past love life of her junior Kim Jin-woong, even taking on the role of an 'office mom' for her junior's life, providing fun and laughter.
The 317th episode of KBS2's entertainment show ‘Sajangnim Gwi-neun Dangnagi Gwi’ (directed by Ahn Sang-eun, hereafter ‘Sajangui’), which aired on the 3rd, recorded a peak viewership rating of 6.6%, maintaining its throne as the number one entertainment show in the same time slot for 166 consecutive weeks (according to Nielsen Korea).
In this episode, Eom Ji-in mentioned that she needed to give a Korean language lecture to over 50 foreigners at her alma mater's language institute and invited a teacher with a Korean language teaching certificate for help. The teacher was none other than Kim Jin-woong's mother, Park Jin-sook. Having taught English for 35 years in middle school and obtained a Korean language teaching certificate, Park Jin-sook shared her know-how on how foreigners can easily learn Korean with the announcers.
During the lecture, Park Jin-sook took the opportunity to ask about her son Kim Jin-woong's marriage plans. When Kim Jin-woong replied, “I have no plans to get married yet,” she showed a disappointed expression and revealed her true feelings, saying, “Actually, I hoped my son would get married before turning thirty, have kids early, and build a stable family.”
After the lecture, Eom Ji-in went to the cafeteria with Kim Jin-woong and Park Jin-sook. Eom Ji-in began to expose her junior Kim Jin-woong's love life, making everyone tense. She started with the question, “Did you know Jin-woong spent all his salary buying luxury items for his girlfriend?” and added, “He even used a credit card revolving service while dating,” which flustered Kim Jin-woong. In response, Park Jin-sook said, “That’s not the son I know,” and playfully scolded him in her elegant English, saying, “Daniel~ Be Smart,” adding to the humor.
Watching this, Jeon Hyun-moo confessed, “Actually, I’m also the type who gives everything when I date,” which brought laughter. However, he advised, “You shouldn’t date while in credit card debt,” and added, “The most important thing is to never talk about dating with Eom Ji-in,” which further amplified the laughter.
Eom Ji-in declared that she would become Kim Jin-woong's 'office mom' in the future, drawing even more attention. She emphasized the commonality that both she and Park Jin-sook share the English name 'Jin' and that she is also a mother raising a son, declaring, “I will be Jin-woong's office mom from now on,” which made everyone laugh.
‘Desire Boss’ Ahn Yoo-seong revealed his endless desire for the creation of ‘Ahn Yoo-seong Street,’ adding to the humor. Ahn Yoo-seong called in his employees even on the store's day off to unveil the blueprint for the ‘Ahn Yoo-seong Street’ project. Seeing Ahn Yoo-seong, who is actively working on creating ‘Ahn Yoo-seong Street’ by purchasing surrounding land in addition to the currently operating store, the employees commented, “Originally, OOO Street is supposed to be created by the government, but pushing it forward by yourself seems a bit ridiculous,” which made everyone laugh.
Ahn Yoo-seong boasted about his past as a chef for the president to his employees, once again showing his ‘master pride.’ His self-promotion began with the ‘assorted fried food’ he presented to former President Kim Dae-jung, followed by stories about gifts and autographs he received from the president, and the fried rice bowl that made him a star chef. However, upon hearing that the sales of his pride, the fried rice bowl, have recently plummeted, he initiated an urgent inspection.
Ahn Yoo-seong, after reviewing sales charts and reviews, ordered his employees to prepare fried rice bowls. Seeing that the sauce was served cold and the batter was too thick, he scolded the junior chefs for not properly following his recipe, saying, “Why aren’t you following the master’s recipe? If you want to do it this way, go open your own store,” which made everyone tense. Declaring a renewal of the fried rice bowl, which is tied to his honor, Ahn Yoo-seong presented a high-end rice bowl using king crab and urged his employees to develop new menu items.
With the store opening approaching, ‘Soon-sil Boss’ Lee Soon-sil headed to a second-hand store to buy a mixer and noodle-making machine. Faced with prices higher than expected, Lee Soon-sil showcased her ‘special aegyo’ to the second-hand store representative, but it didn’t work, and Jeon Hyun-moo added to the humor by asking, “Has that aegyo ever worked?”
Lee Soon-sil conducted interviews to hire staff for her restaurant. The interview room was filled with defectors with various personalities, including a former North Korean hockey player and employees from overseas North Korean restaurants. Lee Soon-sil surprised the interviewees by asking, “How much do you like me?” The employees present as interviewers even expressed their dissatisfaction, saying, “Is this a fan meeting?” and Kim Sook commented, “The interview questions are too strange,” which brought laughter.
Lee Soon-sil also conducted practical interviews to deal with various situations that could arise during restaurant operations. She dramatically acted out a difficult customer by suddenly changing the ordered menu and putting her hair in the food, making the employees flustered and providing entertainment. Lee Soon-sil decided to hire two employees, accelerating the restaurant's opening.
