KBS female announcers criticized the precarious announcer appearance standards in the past.

The 272nd episode of KBS2's entertainment show 「"The boss's ears are donkey ears" (hereinafter 'Danggui') aired on the 8th, recorded 5.9% of the national viewership and 7.9% of the highest viewership, continuing to rank No. 1 in the same time slot of all channels for 121 consecutive weeks. (Based on Nielsen Korea)

On this day, Umji-in boss stepped up for his junior announcer Hong Ju-yeon. Um Ji-in, who instructed Hong Ju-yeon, who finished the morning news, "Remain in the studio" is like a robot when hosting the news. I should be thankful that there's a senior who points out like this" he said.



He then recited Hong Ju-yeon's mistakes, including the pronunciation of long and double vowels and pointing out the tone of reading without rhythm, and urgently proposed a sports news report. Hong Ju-yeon, who finished her short report more than expected by reflecting on her senior's feedback despite the tension, was praised and smiled for the first time by Um Ji-in.

However, Um Ji-in, who said she would demonstrate, made a mistake in pronunciation from the beginning, causing awkward laughter. Since then, Um Ji-in has met with senior Kim Bo-min and fellow announcer Park Eun-young for the first time in a long time to resolve the backlash. From the past anecdotes of receiving criticism on appearance from seniors to the stories of junior announcers dressed in shorts as well as refusing to participate in business trips, the old-fashioned bosses' latte talk continued, and Park Eun-young peaked her old-fashioned comment by saying, `The world has really improved.'



Kim Bomin said, `I don't remember eating properly at that time. Crying, being pointed out. But I thought it was too hard if the comments were about looks and things like that, and Park Eun-young also said, "Why do you have a nose like that?", "You can't do a morning broadcast. I remembered the words I had heard at the time because I was sleepy. In response, Kim Bomin also received a call that it was annoying because the left and right heads were different. So I wore a wig before. There was also a call for blusher."

Um Ji-in was then proud, saying, "Jeon Hyun-moo doesn't eat well, but we are the only juniors who bought us food." Park Eun-young drew attention by certifying her consistent love for entertainment, saying, `When I was the MC of Music Bank, I heard the rumor that the entertainment director was coming, and Jeon Hyun-moo came to the company dinner.' She even released an episode that she duetted with Seo Kyung-seok on a blind date arranged by Jeon Hyun-moo.



'The boss's ears are donkey ears' airs every Sunday at 4:40 p.m. on KBS2.
