Jeong Bo-seok's Company Lunch Class—Prepared Directly by His Wife

The special lunch at the cosmetics company where actor Jeong Bo-seok serves as the representative has drawn attention. The meals provided to employees were not mere meal expense support. A neat home-cooked meal consisting of rice, soup, and various side dishes was prepared and served directly by Jeong Bo-seok's wife. The meaning of 'meal provision' that the employee confirmed at the time of joining the company turned out to be more special than expected. Jeong Bo-seok mentioned that he even proposed a plan to pay for meal expenses, but it drew interest when he revealed that the employee wanted meals to be prepared directly.

In the KBS 2TV variety program 'Mr. House Husband 2' broadcast on the 11th, the daily life of Jeong Bo-seok, who has transformed into the CEO of a cosmetics company, was revealed. While showing him, who is familiar to the public as an actor, communicating with employees and running the company as a businessman, the lunch provided for the employees especially caught the viewers' eyes.

During Jeong Bo-seok's conversation with an employee on this day, his wife appeared carrying the lunch. The wife had personally prepared the meal for the employee, and the table was neatly set with various side dishes including rice and soup. Rather than a fancy dining-out menu, it was a warm and simple spread as if eating at home. Introducing the meal, Jeong Bo-seok said, "It is the same as what we eat." This explains that instead of preparing a separate simple meal for the employee, it was prepared at the same level as the food the family eats.

The employee stated that the condition of meal provision was written in the job posting at the time of hiring. In the actual announcement, the phrase 'lunch and beverages/snacks provided' was included. From the employee's perspective, it was a condition that could be thought of as supporting lunch expenses or the company paying for meal costs. However, the lunch provided at Jeong Bo-seok's company stood out as an extraordinary sight in that it was a home-cooked meal prepared directly by his wife.

Watching this, MC Eun Ji-won asked, "Didn't you think you would just receive meal money?" To this, Jeong Bo-seok explained that he also considered the option of supporting meal expenses. He revealed, "I made that suggestion, but they said they just wanted it to be prepared [for them]." The background of why the meals were provided directly instead of paying meal expenses was revealed. Upon hearing the story, the panelists laughed, saying, "They must have missed home-cooked meals."

However, the scene of the employee and Jeong Bo-seok eating together was not revealed. The employee explained, "I have eaten alone since I first came. We don't eat together." It was also revealed that rather than the company representative eating with employees, the atmosphere is one where everyone eats comfortably on their own. It drew attention as the daily life was revealed where home-cooked meals are provided to the employee, yet the mealtime is spent independently.

Jeong Bo-seok also revealed his own eating habits. He explained, "I eat two meals a day. I eat brunch, and instead, I eat well in the evening." This means he eats one meal by combining breakfast and lunch, and then has a sufficient dinner. As the daily life of the CEO, employee welfare, and the lunch carefully prepared by his wife were revealed, Jeong Bo-seok's company life drew interest different from his image as an actor. In particular, the fact that a home-cooked meal spread exists behind the short recruitment phrase 'meal provision' provided a small topic of conversation for viewers.
