On 'The Boss Has Donkey Ears', Jeon Hyun-moo declares an end to the trend of using "Yaro".

KBS 2TV's 'The Boss Has Donkey Ears' (directed by Choi Seung-hee; hereafter referred to as 'Boss') is a program where South Korean bosses voluntarily practice empathy and self-reflection to create workplaces they enjoy. As of the previous episode, it has maintained its position as the top-rated variety show in its time slot for 220 consecutive weeks (based on Nielsen Korea data).

In the episode airing on Sunday the 30th, Yang Jun-hyeok visits Yongsan, Seoul — a popular spot among MZ generations — alongside his wife Park Hyun-sun. The trip is aimed at learning from Chef Kim Hun, known as the "Yongsan Big Spender," who generates over 10 billion won in annual sales, to gain insights into his business know-how.

Dressed in MZ-style trendy items including a bandana and sunglasses, Yang Jun-hyeok enthusiastically begins benchmarking the hot spot. Upon hearing that MZ generations frequently use the word "Yaro," he immediately exclaims, "So delicious, Yaro~" without hesitation, freely incorporating the catchphrase into his speech. Watching this, Jeon Hyun-moo, the original "catchphrase cutter," remarks, "He's eliminating catchphrases even faster than I do," expressing surprise. As Yang Jun-hyeok continues to overuse "Yaro," Jeon Hyun-moo finally declares, "It's officially over now. Good job with 'Yaro'," bringing an official end to the trend and turning the scene into a sea of laughter.

Later, when Chef Kim Hun uses the new term "Poryong-jeokda" (meaning extremely powerful), Yang Jun-hyeok misunderstands it as "The taste is truly violent," causing widespread laughter. Even more hilariously, when he mistakes "Chugumi" for "Jjukgumi," Kim Sook sighs, "How do you even connect that to eating everything?" The scene where the "10 billion won know-how" was being shared quickly transforms into an "MZ new word language study session," leaving everyone in stitches.
