A surprising family dynamic is playing out on Korean television, as former baseball star Yang Joon-hyuk revealed a somewhat unconventional household hierarchy during a taping of KBS2’s “Boss’s Ear is a Donkey’s Ear.” The popular reality program, consistently a ratings leader in its timeslot for 181 consecutive weeks, features business leaders and personalities offering insights into workplace dynamics-but this week’s episode offers a glimpse into a personal life that has host Jeon Hyun-moo questioning everything. Viewers will see the “God of Baseball” discuss his passion for flounder farming and, more unexpectedly, his family’s pecking order.

The November 30th episode of “Boss’s Ear is a Donkey’s Ear” will feature Yang Joon-hyuk, known as “The God of Baseball” and now “The God of Defense,” as a new “boss.” The episode promises a look at Yang’s passion for flounder farming, and a surprising revelation about his family’s pecking order that’s heating up the studio.
Early in the morning, Yang Joon-hyuk is hard at work at his flounder farm when his wife, Park Hyun-sun, 19 years his junior, arrives with breakfast. When staff jokingly suggest that the flounder is getting more affection than she is, Park Hyun-sun playfully shoots a jealous glance at her husband.
Unaware of his wife’s playful annoyance, Yang Joon-hyuk proudly declares that his daughter and the flounder are equally important to him. When Jeon Hyun-moo asks about his wife’s place in the family ranking, Yang Joon-hyuk surprisingly reveals, “My daughter and the flounder are number one, and my wife is number two!” This unexpected answer sends shockwaves through the studio. Jeon Hyun-moo can only sigh, exclaiming, “The flounder is higher ranked?” The episode also features Yang Joon-hyuk complaining about the healthy breakfast his wife prepared, prompting Jeon Hyun-moo to quip, “If *this* guy can get married…!”
The moment that sparked Jeon Hyun-moo’s jealousy – and Yang Joon-hyuk’s surprising family ranking – will be revealed in today’s broadcast of “Boss’s Ear is a Donkey’s Ear.”
“Boss’s Ear is a Donkey’s Ear” airs every Sunday at 4:40 PM on KBS 2TV.
