Park Myung-soo, EDM passion that overcomes minus 12 degree cold

‘The boss’s ears are donkey ears’ Park Myung-soo showed his passion to overcome the minus 12 degree cold.

In the 241st episode of KBS2's entertainment show 'The Boss's Ears Are Donkey Ears' (hereinafter referred to as 'Donkey'), which aired on the 21st, Park Myung-soo, a radio DJ with 10 years of experience, conducted a public broadcast at Gwanghwamun, where the '2023 Seoul Light' light festival was held. On the day of the public broadcast, it was -12 degrees Celsius, the coldest weather this year, making it difficult to attract an audience. To make matters worse, it started pouring down to the snow 30 minutes before the public broadcast, making everyone sigh deeply.

However, the audience who braved the cold and came to Gwanghwamun to watch the public broadcast filled the seats one by one, and the public broadcast began with Park Myung-soo's voice powerfully shouting “Welcome, welcome, welcome” along with Signal Music. While the first guest, Haha, was heating up the atmosphere, Park Myung-soo, who entered the waiting room coughing, continued to prepare by checking the next order. However, the sponsorship comment that he had to make when he went on stage took a back seat, and he only continued to talk about the latest news with the guest and tease the production team. It made me anxious.

After the performances of top singers such as Stella Jang, Big Natty, Paul Kim, and Wendy, Park Myung-soo heated up the atmosphere by challenging the last guest, Dynamic Duo, to a smoke challenge on one stage. Park Myung-soo, who took the ending stage, led the EDM DJ party with a medley of hit songs such as 'Prince of the Sea' and made the audience jump thanks to the enthusiastic cheers of the audience. As the audience's requests for an encore poured in, the public broadcast ended successfully with the gift of sweet fan service, singing 'Fool to Fool'. In the following interview, expectations are focused on the next performance of boss Park Myung-soo, who made the production team laugh by revealing his pledge to share the public broadcast appearance fee with the production team.

Four-star hotel boss Kim Heon-seong visited the home of his mentor and brand strategist Noh Hee-young. Noh Hee-young, who checked Kim Heon-seong's 'Charm Set' introduced on the broadcast, said, "It's a visual you don't want to take a picture of," and said, "Afternoon tea sets are more about selling emotions than eating," putting Kim Heon-seong in trouble with a cool-headed assessment. Kim Heon-seong, who was looking around Noh Hee-young's house filled with high-end props and works by famous artists, revealed Noh Hee-young's hobby of collecting hotel key cards, and was surprised to see more than hundreds of hotel key cards from around the world.

Lee Seung-hyuk, manager of the food and beverage team, who is currently Kim Heon-seong's right-hand man, said, "The former boss was unrivaled. Advisor Noh Hee-young's nickname was a witch." “The room the advisor was in was turned into a torture room, which made the staff tremble with fear,” he said, drawing laughter. Noh Hee-young, who knows Kim Heon-seong’s work style well, said, “Work while resting. “Employees these days have no attachment to their jobs and work with the mindset of quitting when things get hard, so you shouldn’t push yourself too hard,” he said. “No matter what field you work in, you have to work enough to leave a record.” He revealed his work philosophy, “I have to make sure that I remain proud of having created this.” He attracted attention by revealing the records of projects he participated in, including records that shook the dumpling industry, a new snack brand achieving 6.5 billion won in sales in the first month, 60 billion won in sales in the first year, and mobilizing 17.6 million viewers for the movie 'Roaring Currents'.

Afterwards, Kim Heon-seong and his employees moved to the restaurant run by Noh Hee-young. During the meal, Noh Hee-young ordered a third re-cooking of the red pepper paste stew due to the changed color and taste, and declared that she would hold a tasting party for the R&D team the next day. Kim Heon-seong, who watched, said, “I agree 100%.” Every time we meet, we learn something. He asked, “Please come to Gangneung soon and give me some pointers,” and the sight of Noh Hee-young willingly accepting made me look forward to next week.

Hoyoung Jeong visited Myeongdong with Byunghyun Kim and Takuya to understand the needs of Japanese tourists. The Japanese favorite restaurant that Takuya recommended to Jeong Ho-young as the number one restaurant is ‘One Chicken’, which has monthly sales of 100 million won. Hoyoung Jeong continued researching new menu items while having a delicious meal, carefully analyzing popularity factors such as sauce combinations. The next place Takuya led was ‘Saju Cafe’. Kim Byeong-hyun, who is planning a new business at the Saju Cafe, which has become a must-visit destination among Japanese tourists, stepped forward as the first person to hit Saju, adding to the feeling of regret by saying, “He is a being who enriches others, but he loses all the good energy from others and is of no practical use.” . Jeong Ho-young, who was the next person to analyze fortune telling after Kim Byeong-hyun, smiled broadly at the explanation, “It will be a big hit from 5 years on.”
