New Recruit · S3E16
Episode 16 of *New Recruit* unleashed the internet's favorite sport: ranking chaebol heirs against each other. This week's obsession? A ruthlessly thorough side-by-side of Jung Yong-jin (Shinsegae heir) vs. Lee Jae-yong (Samsung heir) — height, looks, management skills, star power, and yes, even earlobe surgery. The verdict was swift and merciless: Jung loses in almost every category. Korean fans on theqoo weren't even being dramatic about it. They called it simply "stating facts."
The twist that broke the thread? Jung apparently had cosmetic surgery on his earlobes — a detail so absurd it hijacked the entire conversation and became the episode's signature punchline.
Korean fans debated whether the comparison was 올려치기 ("hyping up" Lee Jae-yong) or just 내려치기 ("dunking on" Jung Yong-jin). The consensus: Lee Jae-yong literally did nothing — Jung dug his own grave. One commenter even cracked that Jung's name contains the characters for "lost to Jae-yong" — a phonetic pun on 정용진 (이재용한테 진).
"Lee Jae-yong doesn't even think about him — Jung Yong-jin has been shadow-boxing his cousin his entire life. This is what an inferiority complex looks like." Fans are already bracing for whatever humiliation Episode 17 delivers.
