On the upcoming episode of KBS2's 'The Boss Has Donkey Ears,' airing on the 19th, comedian Park Myung-soo and special intern Hyojung from Oh My Girl meet with Kim Dain, the founder of the fashion brand Mâitinkim, who achieved a remarkable 100 billion KRW in sales by the age of 32.
Kim Dain, a leading figure in the fashion industry beloved by the global MZ generation, shares her journey of achieving 100 billion KRW in sales with Mâitinkim and launching a new brand, Dainit, which reached 10 billion KRW in sales within two years. She astonishes Park Myung-soo by revealing, "I started with 300,000 KRW borrowed from my mother at the age of 24." Jeon Hyun-moo adds, "I saw people lining up at a Mâitinkim store during my trip to Japan," confirming the brand's global popularity.
During the episode, Park Myung-soo discovers unexpected similarities with Kim Dain. When Kim shares her experience of personally promoting her brand at a department store pop-up event, saying, "I don't care about others' opinions as long as my company succeeds," Park enthusiastically responds, "That's just like me," and they share a high-five. When Kim mentions she didn't attend college, Park humorously relates, "I didn't go to college either," creating a moment of shared understanding.
The episode also features a glimpse into Kim Dain's luxurious residence, capturing viewers' attention. Her home in Seongsu-dong's Trimage, known to house top celebrities like Son Heung-min, BTS, and Taeyeon, is revealed. Kim describes it as "a dream home," which she purchased two years ago, leaving Park Myung-soo in awe. The gallery-like interior and stunning Han River view leave Park speechless, prompting him to express his desire to live there.
Upon seeing the Trimage's breathtaking view, Jeon Hyun-moo remarks, "That's the place," expressing his regret. It turns out Jeon had almost signed a contract for the apartment but decided against it. He humorously laments, "After I backed out, the price increased tenfold. If I had bought it, I might have had to cut down on three TV shows," eliciting laughter.
'The Boss Has Donkey Ears' airs at 4:40 PM.
