Jay Park Responds to Yozoh's Love Call on 'The Boss Has Donkey Ears'

K-pop star Jay Park has responded to a public love call from Hongdae goddess Yozoh on the popular KBS 2TV show 'The Boss Has Donkey Ears'.

The show, directed by Choi Seung-hee, is a self-reflection program where bosses in South Korea strive to create a more enjoyable workplace. It has maintained its position as the number one variety show in its time slot for 191 consecutive weeks, with the latest episode achieving a peak rating of 7.9% and a national rating of 5.1%, according to Nielsen Korea.

On the episode airing on the 8th, Kim Yoon-ju, the leader of the Wow Mountain Family, along with Hongdae goddess Yozoh and Park Bo-gum's muse Jang Deul-rae, will meet Jay Park in a highly anticipated encounter. Yozoh previously made headlines when she expressed her admiration for Jay Park, saying, "I would love for Jay Park to be my producer. I like him." Jay Park has now responded, raising curiosity about a potential collaboration between the two. He shared, "Fans sent me the video of Yozoh's love call, and I watched it. I'm grateful to Yozoh," he said.

In a special moment, Yozoh will unveil a tribute song she composed for Jay Park using MIDI for the first time in her music career. She couldn't hide her nervousness while waiting for Jay Park, and upon meeting him, she blushed with shyness. Yozoh confessed, "There are aspects of Jay Park that I really want to emulate. I have hip-hop in my blood," capturing Jay Park's attention. She continued, "I created this song thinking of Jay Park. It came naturally. The title is 'Creation'. I tried MIDI for the first time because I wanted to work with Jay Park," and then she revealed her first medium-tempo song 'Creation'. The lyrics "I like you very much" prompted Jeon Hyun-moo to comment, "Yozoh is completely smitten with Jay Park," expressing excitement over Yozoh's transformation.

Jay Park was also impressed by Jang Deul-rae and Long Shot's impromptu dance, calling it "shocking". When Jang Deul-rae shared her self-composed song 'Hip Hop Lesson', asking for guidance on hip-hop, Jay Park remarked, "Whatever you do, it becomes yours, Deul-rae. That's why they call you a genius," showing keen interest.

KBS 2TV 'The Boss Has Donkey Ears' airs every Sunday at 4:40 PM.
