A mother customer wearing purple all over her body confirmed that she was a big fan of singer Kim Ho-joong and asked to find “a handsome and dependable man like Kim Ho-joong” as her son-in-law. Seong Ji-in successfully negotiated a contract by skillfully reconciling the differences between the mother and daughter customers.

Seong Ji-in said, “I will immediately refuse and break up,” but confessed, “But I also borrowed money when paying taxes,” making people laugh. Seong Ji-in asked the head of the finance department, who was about to get married, to borrow 5 million won. Jae-kyung's girlfriend suspected voice phishing and refused outright, embarrassing Jae-kyung.

Kim Heon-seong, CEO of Gangneung 4-star hotel, which boasts a value of hundreds of billions of won, has joined as the new boss. Kim Heon-seong, who has brought a young wind to the hotel industry just 5 years after its establishment, and his close friend, actor Joo Sang-wook, are together as special MCs. Kim Heon-seong drives the only car in Korea to work. A scene from a drama where employees lined up on both sides of the door and waited to greet each other was created, drawing boos from MCs. Kim Heon-seong introduced the hotel as “Heonseong Land, where everything happens as I say,” but the employees made people laugh by describing Kim Heon-seong as a ghost, a weirdo, and a meddling king. At an employee general meeting attended by about 100 employees, Kim Heon-seong, who questioned the reason for the sluggish sales, said, “Please have a managerial mindset when working.” At the second general meeting, where only the department heads were left, Kim Heon-seong continued to hold the guest room team responsible for its poor performance in an angry voice.

Kim Heon-seong, who checked foreign substances under the baby bed mattress in the kids room, said, “I am obsessed with finding the problem.” Next, instructions were given to the food and beverage team to prepare room service food within 30 minutes. Lee Seung-hyuk could not hide his nervousness in the cold atmosphere of Kim Heon-seong, who was measuring time and waiting for his food. Kim Heon-seong, who tasted the hastily prepared steamed red crab and assorted raw fish, complimented the previous situation by saying, “The quantity, taste, and appearance are all excellent,” which lightened the mood. Kim Heon-seong, who started a full-fledged mukbang with boiled crab as the last menu item, made the MCs laugh.

After the training ended, Choo Seong-hoon advised Song Young-jae, “Even if it takes a long time, you must not give up and continue until the end.” He challenged deadlifts and push-ups with Dong-Hyun Kim and succeeded in completing 420. In response, Go Seok-hyun expressed his respect for Choo Seong-hoon, saying, “I thought he was not there for no reason.” Choo Seong-hoon, who finished the race, once again said to Song Young-jae, “Next time, don’t give up.
