Uhm Ji-in Visits Seol Woon-do's Home for a Singing Test on 'The Boss's Ears Are Donkey's Ears'

KBS 2TV’s ‘The Boss’s Ears Are Donkey’s Ears’ (hereinafter ‘Donkey’s Ears’) will feature MC Uhm Ji-in receiving direct vocal coaching from trot legend Seol Woon-do at his home.

‘Donkey’s Ears’, which recorded its highest viewership rating of 5.8% last week and continues its reign as the No. 1 entertainment show in its time slot for 183 consecutive weeks, promises new excitement in its 335th episode.

Known for discovering trot sensation Lim Young-woong as the MC of the audition program ‘Challenge! Dream Stage’, Uhm Ji-in sought help from her ‘Morning Yard’ acquaintance Seol Woon-do to shed her 'tone-deaf' image. Uhm Ji-in, Nam Hyun-jong, and Kim Jin-woong will undergo Seol Woon-do’s strict yet straightforward lessons.

However, Uhm Ji-in's song choice, ‘Like I Got Shot’, a song not by Seol Woon-do, seemed to displease the trot singer. Park Myung-soo commented, “There’s no emotion in the song,” while Seol Woon-do frankly stated, “It's uncomfortable to sing,” leaving Uhm Ji-in flustered.

Seol Woon-do recommended his hit song ‘Twist of Love’, but Uhm Ji-in’s singing caused him to express concern, saying, “I’m worried about her skills,” and bluntly calling her “last place.” He added with a sharp remark, “If Uhm Ji-in asked me to take on her singing, it would require a significant budget.”

Seol Woon-do's blunt feedback had Jun Hyun-moo and Park Myung-soo in stitches. Seol Woon-do, surprised by Uhm Ji-in’s long tongue (13 cm), still questioned, “Why does an announcer have trouble with pronunciation?”

Amidst Uhm Ji-in’s pronunciation difficulties, Kim Jin-woong asked for a chance, saying, “Hyungnim, forgive my boldness, but can I try?” raising the tension.

Will Uhm Ji-in, despite her long tongue but poor pronunciation, be reborn as Seol Woon-do's disciple, or will she lose the opportunity to her junior, Kim Jin-woong, who studied vocal music? The outcome will be revealed on the broadcast of ‘Donkey’s Ears’ today (14th) at 4:40 PM on KBS 2TV.

Netizens expressed excitement, commenting, 'I can't wait for Uhm Ji-in to meet Seol Woon-do!', 'Is announcer Uhm Ji-in really that bad at singing? LOL', and 'Donkey's Ears is always fun, I have to watch this episode live.'
