Jun Hyun-moo dances through Mexico heat and plots a Seoul payback
In the July 26 Boss in the Mirror Mexico episode, Jun Hyun-moo sweats through a traditional dance and jokes about Seoul revenge on Lee Young-pyo.
KBS2 entertainment program "Boss in the Mirror" revealed scenes from its Mexico episode broadcast on July 26, showing Jun Hyun-moo learning a traditional Mexican dance under intense heat. The cast members wore leather costumes and danced beneath the blazing sun, sweating heavily as the schedule pushed them through the outdoor experience.
Completely drenched in sweat, Jun Hyun-moo turned his frustration into a playful vow of revenge against Lee Young-pyo. He said he would give Lee a "Hyun-moo Tour" in Seoul and make him drink six cups of Americano in a single day, jokingly targeting the fact that Lee does not drink coffee as his own lighthearted counterattack.
Lee Young-pyo took on the role of the boss who planned the Mexico travel itinerary. He said he had ordered the most delicious menu on his own initiative and prepared a meal for the group, but the dish turned out to be udon.
Jeong Ho-young, who is known as the "God of Udon," was visibly taken aback by the choice and burst into laughter. Lee Young-pyo responded by saying that he knew Jeong was a chef but did not realize he operated an udon restaurant, showing an unexpectedly clumsy side. The moment underlined how Lee had prioritized his own preferences while designing the schedule.
Song Ha-young of fromis_9 appeared as a special MC and watched Lee Young-pyo's travel course unfold from the studio. After observing the way the itinerary was being handled, she said it would be nice if he listened even a little to the members' opinions.
When Lee Young-pyo then began writing something down, Song Ha-young cautiously joked, "What you are writing right now is not a Death Note, is it?" Her comment worked as a cheerful jab at Lee's one-sided planning style and sent the studio into laughter.
