Lee Kyung-kyu and Yang Jun-hyuk's 'Flattery' Chemistry Explodes in Monterrey, Mexico

The cast of KBS 2TV's 'Boss in the Mirror' (hereafter referred to as 'Boss in the Mirror') gathered in Monterrey, Mexico, to brainstorm new business items. In this episode airing on July 12, MC Jun Hyun-moo, along with bosses Lee Kyung-kyu, Yang Jun-hyuk, and Jeong Ho-young, visited Mexico together.

On-site, Yang Jun-hyuk took charge of the atmosphere by sticking closely to Lee Kyung-kyu's side. Yang Jun-hyuk continuously agreed with everything Lee Kyung-kyu said, activating what is known as 'flattery mode.' Lee Kyung-kyu jokingly complained, "Why are you flattering me so much, you big yellowtail? It's overwhelming," but a satisfied smile spread across his face.

The playful chemistry between the two also evoked nostalgia through Jun Hyun-moo. Recalling Lee Yoon-seok, who used to take care of Lee Kyung-kyu, Jun Hyun-moo joked, "Yang Jun-hyuk is like a chubby Lee Yoon-seok," turning the studio into a sea of laughter.

Lee Kyung-kyu exposed Yang Jun-hyuk's personality, saying, "Yang Jun-hyuk is so gullible that he's swayed by just a single word." He then jokingly proposed a business using Yang Jun-hyuk's nickname: "Since you're the 'Yang-God' (Yang-shin), you should start a sheep farm and do a lamb business."

Although the proposal started as a joke, Yang Jun-hyuk's reaction was more than serious—it was specific. He immediately responded, "I will follow your lead, hyung-nim," and even mentioned an actual site, saying, "Coincidentally, there is a space behind the fish farm that would be good for a sheep farm." The atmosphere on set was instantly covered in laughter due to Yang Jun-hyuk's concrete business plan, which went beyond a simple variety show reaction.

Looking away from the movie investment proposal... Lee Kyung-kyu's dream of filmmaking reignites

Lee Kyung-kyu brought up another past connection with Yang Jun-hyuk: an anecdote about proposing a movie production investment to him in the past. Although Yang Jun-hyuk is known for his strong drive, it is said that he would subtly change the subject and avoid eye contact whenever the topic of movie investment came up.

Hearing this, Jun Hyun-moo delivered a 'fact bomb' that seemed to pierce through Yang Jun-hyuk's true feelings, saying, "I guess movies really weren't for you." However, Lee Kyung-kyu did not stop there, showing his persistent side by signaling through his eyes his determination to challenge movie production once again.
