Making her first appearance on 'The Boss Has Donkey Ears,' Lee Jae shows a striking resemblance to her father, Yang Joon-hyuk.

Yang’s wife shares her own struggles, saying, “I wanted to protect at least one of the two. I couldn’t express it, but the anxiety was overwhelming until the very end.” This revelation brings Yang to tears.

Despite the fear of losing the remaining child, Lee Jae was born healthy, bringing tears of relief and joy to Yang. Listening to Lee Jae’s ultrasound and heartbeat, Yang is overwhelmed with emotion.

Yang Joon-hyuk expresses his heartfelt love for his wife and daughter, admitting, “I’m not good at expressing affection, but I’m so grateful to my wife for enduring everything silently.” He adds, “I love my wife and our only daughter so much. Let’s raise Lee Jae well. My wife is the best,” showing his deep appreciation for his family.
