Im Chae-mo's Duriland Faces Inheritance Question as Grandson Asks 'Will You Give It to Me?'

Actor Im Chae-mo's amusement park, Duriland, is facing questions about its future inheritance, drawing significant attention.

The latest episode of KBS 2TV's entertainment show 'The Boss's Ears Are Donkey Ears' (abbreviated as 'Saddangui'), aired on the 19th, featured a surprise appearance by Im Chae-mo's grandson.

Joining the existing family workforce, which includes Im Chae-mo as CEO and his wife and daughter as employees, the grandson took on the role of a daily inspection staff member, creating a heartwarming scene of three generations resembling each other.

The young grandson meticulously inspected Duriland from a child's perspective, highlighting aspects that adults might overlook and sparking viewers' curiosity.

Notably, a moment in the preview showed the grandson directly asking Im Chae-mo, 'How long will you run Duriland? Will you pass it down to me?', causing the veteran actor to react with surprise.

Duriland, located in Yangju-si, Gyeonggi Province, is a 300-pyeong amusement park that initially cost 4 billion won to establish. It faced closure in 2017 due to financial difficulties and reopened in 2020 after renovations, accumulating a debt of up to 19 billion won during this process. Im Chae-mo has persevered with the belief of bringing joy to children, despite facing nearly 10 billion won in remaining debt, even selling his 67-pyeong mansion in Yeouido to manage the finances, a fact that elicited sympathy.

Viewers are keenly anticipating how Im Chae-mo and his family will navigate Duriland's future and the unfolding discussion about inheritance on 'Saddangui'.

Netizens expressed excitement about the grandson's involvement, commenting things like 'It's amazing they're even bringing in the grandson,' 'I really hope Chairman Im Chae-mo succeeds,' and 'I'm looking forward to the family business aspect.'
