Health trainer Yang Chi-seung is returning to 'The Boss Has Donkey Ears' (hereinafter 'Donkey Ears').

In the episode airing on the 26th on KBS 2TV's variety program 'Donkey Ears', Yang Chi-seung will be shown embarking on a 'beggar tour' alongside chef Jung Ho-young.

Yang Chi-seung is the original muscle boss of 'Donkey Ears,' known for sculpting the luxury-grade physiques of top Korean stars including Jay Park, Kim Woo-bin, and BTS's Jin. However, he previously suffered the pain of closing his gym, which he had operated for several years, due to a building rental fraud involving 1.5 billion won.

In that day's broadcast, Yang Chi-seung shared his recent status, saying, "I feel like I'm going bankrupt again and again from a state of having already lost everything." He revealed the extent of the damage, stating, "The visible loss alone amounts to 1.5 billion won. Including collateral and other incidental damages, the total reaches 2 billion won."

Recalling the past, Yang Chi-seung confessed about the painful trials that followed his flashy success: "I was at my peak at age 45 and planned to buy a building in Gangnam."

Yang Chi-seung joins Jung Ho-young on a 'beggar tour' featuring cost-effective courses ranging from the cheapest samgyeopsal restaurants to all-you-can-eat Korean buffet. For the first time in a while, Yang faces meat, devouring 14 servings of samgyeopsal in a frenzy, stuffing a donut as big as his face into his mouth in one bite, swallowing two dumplings at once, and even picking up chicken that fell on the floor without hesitation, showcasing survival-style mukbang.

Meanwhile, Yang Chi-seung opened a gym in a building in Seoul's Gangnam-gu in 2019 but received an eviction order from the Gangnam-gu Office after operating for about three years in 2022. At that time, Yang claimed he was not informed of the expiration of the building management period during the contract process, resulting in damages of approximately 1.5 billion won.
