Lee Kyung-kyu Reveals List of 11 Threats in the Entertainment Industry
In the upcoming episode of KBS2's 'Boss's Ears Are Donkey Ears' (사장님 귀는 당나귀 귀), comedian Lee Kyung-kyu makes a bold statement, declaring, "I want to create a stir." Concerned about the diminishing presence of entertainers, he predicts the landscape of variety shows in 2025. Lee laments, "People who have learned to make us laugh are disappearing," and proposes a 'Donkey Debate' to address the encroachment of various professions into the entertainment realm.
During the 'Donkey Debate,' Lee identifies a 'danger zone' among 25 professions, asserting, "We must eradicate the danger zone." He begins to categorize allies and foes, leading to a discussion where Park Myung-soo claims that chefs pose the greatest threat to their profession. He argues that jobs related to food, clothing, and shelter should be allies. However, Lee counters, stating, "Baek Jong-won is not a cook; he is a businessman," and emphasizes his seniority in the franchise industry.
Lee also questions why producers like Na Young-seok are acting as MCs, demanding, "Na Young-seok should return his award immediately!" He expresses frustration over losing his programs, stating, "We can no longer stand by and watch," which leads him to propose a 'Special Law Against Broadcast Appearances.'
On this episode, Lee Kyung-kyu will unveil a list of 11 individuals he considers threats in the entertainment industry, including producer Na Young-seok and businessman Baek Jong-won. As the list is revealed, the studio grows increasingly tense, prompting Jeon Hyun-moo to remark, "Oh dear, there will be seismic shifts in the broadcasting world."
Viewers are left wondering what shocking statements Lee Kyung-kyu will make and who exactly comprises his list of 11 threats. The episode airs on February 9 at 4:40 PM KST.
