On 'The Boss Has Donkey Ears,' Jeon Hyun-moo voiced his disappointment toward Jung Ji-sun.

According to Nielsen Korea, the 380th episode of KBS 2TV's variety show 'The Boss Has Donkey Ears' (hereinafter referred to as 'The Boss'), which aired on the 8th, recorded a peak viewership rating of 6.6% and a nationwide viewership rating of 4.2%, securing the number one spot in its time slot for 229 consecutive weeks.

On this day, attention was drawn to the unveiling of Jung Ji-sun's first overseas branch, located in Taipei, Taiwan. The large-scale store, spanning 140 pyeong and featuring 74 seats, has gained popularity by capturing local tastes, with 90% of its customers being locals. Jung Ji-sun revealed that "reservations for the next two months were fully booked immediately after opening," underscoring his status as a global star chef.

In particular, while known in Korea as a 'yelling boss,' Jung Ji-sun was seen transforming into an endlessly affectionate 'angel boss' toward his Taiwanese employees. He shared that "more than 10 people quit within a month and a half of opening," explaining, "I can't let the staff run away," which elicited laughter with his unique insight.

Subsequently, close friend Kim Suk visited the Taiwanese store to taste and evaluate Jung Ji-sun's food. When Jung Ji-sun, who had previously stated he would never sell jjajangmyeon (Chinese-style noodles) or japchae (stir-fried glass noodles), served jjajangmyeon at the Taiwanese branch, Jeon Hyun-moo expressed his disappointment, saying, "He wouldn't make it when I asked for four years straight!" This sparked bursts of laughter. Kim Suk praised the dish, noting that "each strand of noodle seems to be coated," and gave the jjajangmyeon a perfect score of 10 out of 10 while giving a thumbs-up.

Additionally, a meeting was arranged between Park Mi-hee, a kimchi master and food processing grandmaster, and Yang Jun-hyuk. This followed Yang's persistent requests to learn the secret recipe for greenling kimchi. Park Mi-hee stated, "If you want the recipe, you must start with napa cabbage," leading Yang to a cabbage field in Pyeongchang. In a situation requiring the harvest of 3,100 heads of cabbage, Yang showcased his innate strength and stamina, performing remarkably. When Yang effortlessly completed tasks from harvesting cabbages to loading cabbage nets onto a 10-ton truck, Park Mi-hee expressed satisfaction, saying, "I was going to scold you, but there's nothing to scold about?"

Satisfied with Yang Jun-hyuk's performance, Park Mi-hee finally agreed to the greenling kimchi collaboration, and the kimchi master's greenling kimchi recipe was revealed. Park Mi-hee explained that "the kick in greenling kimchi lies in the seasoning," passing on the core secret of removing the fishy smell by finely chopping greenling meat and mixing it with Cheongyang peppers, red pepper flakes, and salt. Adding kimchi seasoning and small-grain porridge to complete the dish, Yang Jun-hyuk tasted the master's premium greenling kimchi and said, "This is exactly the taste I wanted," indulging in a feast. Park Mi-hee displayed well-founded confidence by stating, "No one else can make this taste," eliciting admiration.

Yang Jun-hyuk asked, "Will you accept me as your formal disciple?" aiming for an official apprenticeship position. In response, Park Mi-hee made a suggestive proposal: "Come to the kimchi factory once." It was revealed that all previous contestants who visited the factory had been unable to endure it and returned, sparking curiosity about whether Yang Jun-hyuk would become Park Mi-hee's formal disciple.

Meanwhile, Son Ji-chang demonstrated his prowess as a 26-year veteran 'event boss' by directly leading a large-scale event inviting 180 VIP customers. He personally greeted each customer at the entrance of the venue and actively moved around the site, handling everything from serving snacks to cleaning up trash. He further took on the role of dinner host, showcasing all-around activity that drew admiration.

As the event progressed faster than expected, an unexpected situation arose where time remained before the arrival of the invited singer. Son Ji-chang skillfully improvised and captured attention with a surprise performance of Louis Armstrong's 'What A Wonderful World.' Although it was a special performance to buy time, it drew enthusiastic responses from the guests, heating up the atmosphere on site. After the event concluded, when news broke that Son Ji-chang had already confirmed next year's event, Jeon Hyun-moo remarked, "Louis Armstrong was decisive in securing next year's event."
