◆ [겨울 별장 짓는 날] I have been living at the top of a mountain 700m above sea level for 4 years.
The place we visited today is Bongpyeong, known as the hometown of buckwheat flowers in Pyeongchang, Gangwon-do! When I climbed to the top of the mountain at the foot of Mt. Taegi, 700 meters above sea level, there were people gathered in groups of twos and threes building a house. It turns out that the neighbors are working together to install a roof over the tent. Since it is an area where it snows a lot, their daily routine involves everyone doing their part to prevent the villa from collapsing. Among them, there was one person who had been living in a villa that looked like an igloo for four years. The main characters are Lee Taek-sang (50), Jo Hyun-hee (50), and their daughter Iroa (10). The two have shared the same hobby since they first started camping 12 years ago and have been dating ever since.
It is said that they were so affectionate that they enjoyed camping without even knowing that they had a child after marriage. Such a couple’s winter villa! This winter villa uses a pointed Indian tent as a living room and a round igloo tent as a bedroom! Not only does it completely block out the cold with its 7-layer floor, but it also includes a wood-burning stove and a fan heater, so you can spend the winter without a hitch even in cold climates. They say they are enjoying their winter villa with their neighbors in Jangbak Village, cutting dead tree branches to use as firewood and having potluck parties together. Let’s meet the story of a special Jangbak village in the mountains 700m above sea level!
◆ [이 맛에 산다] 2024 year-end settlement! A couple I want to see again
The year 2024! Introducing families with special stories from all over the country! Among them, I summarized the couples I would like to see again.
The first protagonist has been married for 10 years! Jae-Han Park (45) and Lee Mi-Ji (38) are a married couple who are known as a chicken couple in Muan, Jeollanam-do. Two people who turn an ordinary pepper field into heaven. It’s because the husband calls his wife a goddess. It is said that Geumseul was also good, gave birth to three siblings and became a real-life fairy and woodcutter. So much so that my father-in-law calls them ‘the cockroach couple’! Let’s meet the story of two people who still feel like sweet newlyweds.
There was another loving couple here in Boeun, North Chungcheong Province.
Joo Jin-wan (78) and Han In-soon (76) have been married for 55 years! Five years ago, his wife, In-soon, lost her right arm in an accident in which her arm was caught in a bean threshing machine, and survived several surgeries. Although she lost her right arm in an accident, she says she is living a golden life thanks to her husband who has turned into a lover.
There was also a couple who showed an equally ripe middle-aged romance: Kim Eui-soo (61) and Moon Young-hee (58), who have been married for 31 years! Younghee searches for her husband all day long with a voice like an oriole. But is it because of this ‘honey’ sound that causes the couple’s fight? What is the story of the husband who became the leader of complaints because of his wife? Let’s meet the stories of loving couples who will warm up the end of the year in our year-end closing special!
◆ [저 푸른 초원 위에] Pastel house built on a field
We went to Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do to visit the protagonist who built a picturesque house on that green meadow. They say there is a house here that hides a surprising charm. This is the second house of the couple Yoon Chang-yong (39) and Noh Hyeon-ok (40) and Go Myeong’s daughter Yoon Jeong-bin (8). The couple worked together during the week and liked to travel on the weekends. I had no desire for a big house, but many things changed when my child was born. In particular, what I felt the most was that it was a large space where children could run around and play freely without being noticed. While looking for land close to home and work, the family built their second house in the space that was used as a field next door. Since the land is shaped like a sack, if you block the entrance, it will look like it is hidden in the forest. In addition, it was a 30-minute drive from the main house, so it was a good location to go back and forth whenever I had time.
This place, built just for my daughter, has a floor height of 6m and the child’s favorite color, purple, as the accent color. The open space, without pillars or separate doors, was built with H-beam construction and the entire interior was wrapped with woodwork, making bold decisions that are not often made in general architecture. In particular, the couple’s favorite feature is the living room lighting that resembles raindrops falling from clouds with 10 lights. Even the indirect lighting chosen instead of the Korean-style central lamp is in perfect harmony with the pastel-toned house. There was an incident where the house turned into a swimming pool due to a water leak in the winter, but he also remembers that as an interesting anecdote. My daughter runs wild from morning to night when she comes to the villa. Let’s meet the family’s love-filled home built with only the desire for their daughter to be happy.
◆ [이달의 수산물] A Busan specialty that resembles a seagull’s beak?
Busan is well known for its beautiful sea and various tourist destinations! Dadaepo Beach boasts a beautiful scenery with the harmony of the beach and reed fields, and there is something to enjoy even when the weather gets cold. Even though you can’t swim in the sea because it’s winter, they turn on colorful lights that make the beach sparkle every day from 5:30 PM to 10 PM. It continues until February next year and is said to be a great place to spend time with family and lovers. Now that you’ve enjoyed the beauty of Busan, it’s time to enjoy the taste! They say there are seafood that can only be found in Busan! Galmi clams are also called Myeongji clams because they are abundant in the Myeongjiran area located at the mouth of the Nakdong River. They are also called galmi clams because they resemble the beak of a seagull.
It can be caught all year round, but when the cold winds start to blow from December to March, the meat becomes more chewy and tastes better! It is chewier than other clams and has a subtle sweet taste, so it can be enjoyed in a variety of dishes. The way people in Busan eat it is grilled pork belly! The method is to grill pork belly first to produce oil, then fry seasoned galmi clams in the oil to add a nutty taste and flavor. And the shabu-shabu where you can feel the natural taste of seaweed clams is also a delicacy! They say that if you dip galmi clams cooked in a clean broth and dip them in the sauce, you can enjoy a taste that you won’t like or dislike! Busan’s representative seafood becomes more delicious the colder it gets! Let’s meet seaweed clams here.
