Singer Kim Yong-bin, known as the "Trot Prince," revealed his steadfast approach to banking and wealth management.

According to Nielsen Korea, a ratings survey company, Episode 376 of the KBS 2TV variety show "The Boss Has Donkey Ears" (hereinafter referred to as "The Boss"), which aired on the 11th, recorded a peak viewership rating of 6.2% and a nationwide viewership rating of 4.0%, securing the top spot in its time slot for 225 consecutive weeks.

On this day, Kim Yong-bin was preparing for his comeback with a new song to be released after one year and two months. Visiting the recording studio, Kim Yong-bin took various health juices as well as the powder of bellflower root made by his late grandmother, and even prepared a towel humidifier, demonstrating his status as a master of self-management while making every effort to maintain peak condition.

After finishing the recording, when praise from the producer continued, Kim Yong-bin engaged in self-praise, saying, "The song has become familiar. It sounds really nice." However, he caused laughter by repeatedly denying it while watching a video of his remarks in the studio, stating, "I didn't say that. That's AI." Furthermore, at the final meeting held seven days before his comeback stage, he personally handled everything from hand gestures to signature poses, as well as the selection of encore songs and costumes, fully displaying the traits of a perfectionist boss.

Additionally, Kim Yong-bin met with senior trot artist Kim Yeon-ja and shared childhood memories. Kim Yeon-ja vividly recalled anecdotes about Kim Yong-bin's exceptional fashion sense during his days as a trot child prodigy and how he stood out from the start, surprising everyone. Above all, Kim Yong-bin shared touching memories with his late grandmother, adding to the emotional depth of the moment. He revealed that he has been keeping the bank accounts in which his grandmother saved the money he earned as a child without spending it. Upon hearing that he had a whopping 50 bank accounts, Kim Yeon-ja could not hide her surprise but offered practical advice, saying, "It's not good to just save money. You should buy gold or make investments," which elicited laughter.

In response, Kim Yong-bin directly sang Kim Yeon-ja's song "Mother's Season" to convey his feelings. Moved by the sincerity in Kim Yong-bin's singing, Kim Yeon-ja eventually wiped away her tears and offered warm encouragement, saying, "Thank you for singing," and "May you walk only on a path of flowers from now on. I will support you," completing a heartwarming meeting between senior and junior artists.

On the other hand, veteran Chinese cuisine experts gathered in one place, including Jeong Ji-sun, the "Queen of Chinese Cuisine," Lee Moon-jung, the "Chinese Cuisine Witch," and Shin Gye-sook, the "Chinese Cuisine Biker." Among them, Jeong Ji-sun and Lee Moon-jung engaged in a fierce Chinese cuisine competition. Jeong Ji-sun completed "Tongsang Beef Rolls" in just 10 minutes with her quick hand movements. Lee Moon-jung, who prepared "Ma Jie Pan," a fusion of traditional Korean gujeolpan platters and the Chinese dish Yangzong Pi, along with black-and-white dumplings, fully demonstrated her knife skills honed over 25 years of experience. Shin Gye-sook marveled at Lee Moon-jung's delicate hand movements, saying, "It feels like I've come to a butcher shop from a martial arts novel."

For Lee Moon-jung, whose cooking time reached three hours, Jeong Ji-sun, a senior in self-employment, unleashed a storm of nagging. When Lee Moon-jung insisted on her time-consuming method, stating, "Food is made with the heart, not just technique," Jeong Ji-sun countered, "How is that the spirit of a craftsman? It's just an old-fashioned style." Eventually, Shin Gye-sook joined in to help prepare the ingredients, and a collaborative cooking session unfolded among the three. As the cooking time dragged on, Park Myung-soo, who was watching, suddenly shouted, "Hey, when are we going to eat the gujeolpan?!" adding to the laughter.

Finally, all the dishes reflecting the dedication and personality of the three were completed, and Jeong Ji-sun and Shin Gye-sook did not hold back their praise for Lee Moon-jung's cooking. Lee Moon-jung expressed her feelings, saying, "It was a truly enjoyable time to present dishes filled with my heart to two people I respect." Hearing this, Jeong Ji-sun delivered a blunt remark, "We all cooked together," causing bursts of laughter.
