Chef Jung Ho-young of KBS2 'The boss's ears are donkey ears' made a big smile by turning into a patriotic 'Jeong Ho-guk' for Patriotic Veterans Month in June.

KBS2 entertainment show `President's Ear Is Donkey Ear' (Director Ahn Sang-eun, hereinafter 'Sadang Ear') which aired on the 8th (Sun), recorded up to 5.7% and 4.7% nationwide, achieving a vertical increase in viewership. As a result, he ranked first in entertainment shows at the same time for 158 consecutive weeks, proving his hot topic and popularity. (Based on Nielsen Korea)

On this day's broadcast, Jung Ho-young appeared in the studio looking slimmer than before, drawing attention. When Jung Ho-young said "I tried the half marathon recently, but I'm worried about losing weight," Jeon Hyun-moo said "I didn't lose that much." I don't think it's enough to worry about." Then, Jung Ho-young confessed, `In fact, I lose 2 kilos after running a marathon, but if I eat, I gain 3 kilos on the road.'




Invited to an event to mark Patriots and Veterans Month in June, Chung Ho-young held an idea meeting with his staff to develop a menu of '80th Anniversary of Liberation'. Jung Ho-young surprised everyone by saying, `Even though I am a Japanese chef, I am a descendant of Jeong Do-jeon, the 26th generation of Bonghwa's family and a contributor to the founding of Joseon.' He urged employees to ban the use of foreign words during the month of June and to honor the hearts of their ancestors who worked hard for the country. At the same time, he said "I'm not Jung Ho-young from now on, I'm Jung Ho-guk."

Jung Ho-young went to chef Yeo Kyung-rae to get the menu idea. Jeong Ho-young learned how to make guobaorou when chef Yeo Kyung-rae explained that independence activists ate a lot of Chinese food when they were staying in the Provisional Government in Shanghai, China. Jung Ho-young also drew interest by holding an impromptu cooking competition with Chef Yeo Min, the son of Chef Yeo Kyung-rae, on the theme of liberation. Jeong Ho-young introduced stir-fried tofu noodles, which reinterpreted tofu dishes, and Chef Yeo Min introduced dumplings, but Chef Yeo Kyung-rae, who was in charge of the screening, ruled in favor of Jeong Ho-young. Jeong Ho-young then looked at Chef Yeo-min and said, `If you get in trouble by your father, there is a place to work at our store, so you can come anytime."

On this day, Jung Won-oh, head of Seongdong-gu, Seoul, appeared as 'New Boss'. Jung Won-oh, who is the only three-term district chief in Seoul and is known as an "idol of Seongdong-gu", drew criticism as he reported to his secretaries that he did not have a proper day off because he had a lot of work as a "workaholic".




To make matters worse, Jung Won-oh, the head of the district office, drew the anger of the MC team toward the employee's house, not his home after work. When the performance team leader, who was the first to leave the office after finishing his work with a car, asked "Would you like to go home for a drink?" and Mayor Chung said "Then shall we just see the children's faces in front of the door?"He said ", but he ended up eating dinner deliciously at the employee's house and became a 'civil servant'. In response, Park Myung-soo threw his tongue out, saying "Isn't he sleeping like that?" and Jeon Hyun-moo hit the nail on the head and gave him a pleasant laugh. In the meantime, Jeon Hyun-moo said, "Don't say 'communication king' only in Seongdong-gu, but listen to the complaints of the employees first."Jung Won-oh, the head of the district office, said "I promise my employees to leave work on time."It was heartwarming.

Chef Ahn Yoo-sung delivered detailed feedback and passing tips based on his experience, claiming to be a helper for chef Kwon Jeong-il, a passionate priest who is challenging a master. Chef Kwon Jung-il conducted a full-fledged examination in front of the judges of master craftsmen. Jeon Hyun-moo, who watched the three chiefs seriously preparing for the screening, said "The atmosphere is sacred. 'Conclave'Isn't it?' he said, giving an unexpected laugh.

However, chef Kwon Jung-il made a mistake of cutting his hand with a knife and introduced tteokgalbi and gyua statue, but he was disappointed as he was disqualified after the final screening. Ahn Yoo-sung wished his junior good luck by presenting 'An Yoo-sung Sushi', which passed the examination of the master.




Meanwhile, 'The boss's ears are donkey ears' airs every Sunday at 4:40 p.m. on KBS 2TV.
