◆ [저 푸른 초원 위에] I fixed up an abandoned house, but got kicked out twice?
We went to Gangneung, Gangwon-do to visit the main character who built a picturesque house on a green meadow. At first glance, this place, which resembles a small gallery and is surrounded by a forest, is said to be the hideout of Kim Cheol (46) and Park Soo-bi (51). The two said they went through many twists and turns before building their current home. The first house that her husband, Kim Cheol, who is working as an installation artist, lived and renovated was so beautiful that various broadcasting media were constantly inquiring about filming it. Feeling that his privacy was gradually disappearing, he moved to another abandoned house, but was caught up in a dispute between the street owner and the landlord, and was notified of eviction after one year despite signing a six-year contract. The third house was built with the idea that there would be no place to retreat anymore.
The first floor is used as a cafe for a couple who loves coffee, and the second floor boasts an interior with large windows on all sides and even in the bathroom. The two share separate rooms due to their sleeping habits, but their affection for each other is so sweet that they even sing a love song. The walls, which combine exposed concrete and wood finishes, are decorated with family pictures drawn by Cheol-i. A space full of memories with Shay, a dog like my own who recently crossed the rainbow bridge. Let’s take a look at the first home built and owned by a couple who renovated an abandoned house and were evicted twice.
◆ [이 맛에 산다] 90,000 per day? The first day of work at Dried Pollack Deokjang
The place we went to find today’s protagonist was Inje, Gangwon-do! When the cold wind blows here, there are people who become busier than anyone else. None other than Kim Jae-sik (66) and Choi Yang-hee (62), married for 40 years! The size of the deokjang alone is approximately 9,917㎡ (3,000 pyeong). They say that when the temperature drops to -10 degrees, they start making dried pollack. The number of pollack caught per day is 90,000! It’s even busier because 540,000 pollacks need to be harvested this winter. However, even though they are busy, this couple constantly bickers and shows off their affection! Just like dried pollack that freezes and thaws in the cold wind and becomes stronger, the couple’s life also became stronger as they went through hardships and adversity. When we were desperately poor, we fell in love at first sight and fell in love after 8 months.
The two people are said to have gotten married. But somehow, I only owe 200 million won in debt from my in-laws. Both the couple worked day and night to escape from blind poverty. It took 15 years just to repay the debt, but they lived so fiercely that they never fought about money. It’s already been 40 years since I persistently lived like that, increasing my number one by one. Now, one by one, the children have built a nest in the home the couple has built. From the son-in-law who was scouted as a deokjang upon his marriage nine years ago to the son who opened a pollack restaurant this year! To celebrate the New Year, my son showed off his skills by making pollack rice cake soup. Let’s take a look at the winter of the Hwangtae couple, who say they are rather happy about the cold.
◆ [점심N] The secret of rice cake dumpling soup with salted turtle fish
2025 is finally here! The place where the English-Korean announcer went to have lunch was the noodle street in Gongneung-dong. In the late 1980s, the number of noodle shops where workers could eat cheaply and heartily increased, and it became known as Noodle Street. Her husband, Park Chang-seop, originally worked as a taxi driver. He said he had lunch at Noodle Street almost every day and started a noodle restaurant because he thought business here would be a big hit. In addition, his wife, Lee Jeong-suk, made dumplings using the method taught by her father, who was from Pyongyang, and it became so popular that she is now selling dumpling soup and kalguksu! Pyeongyang-style dumplings that are similar to kimchi dumplings but have a unique flavor. Prepare kimchi by washing it in water and add bean sprouts.
The filling is complete if you just add ground pork. Since they are made whenever time allows rather than all at once in the morning, even Younghan announcer was able to make dumplings himself! It was even more delicious because it was a rice cake dumpling soup made with handmade dumplings. Here, they serve Korean beef as a garnish, the dumpling soup is delicious, and they even serve salted turtle squid as a side dish. They say that if you eat salted fish and Pyongyang-style dumplings together, you will naturally add dumplings. Here, they created bibim kalguksu, a new menu item that is not even on the menu, by using kkottugi jeotgal. Even the owner, who saw the unique menu, was surprised. How about shaking off all your work stress and worries with rice cake dumpling soup that goes well with salted crab?
◆ [겨울 별장 짓는 날] Cabbage Dosa and Radish Dosa have appeared on Mt. Yumyeong.
Continuing from last year, some people said they were enjoying special camping this year as well, so we went to Yumyeong Mountain in Gapyeong, Gyeonggi-do! There were people walking around wearing suspicious masks in a place surrounded by trees. When I looked closely, I saw the cabbage guru and the radish guru who were said to have appeared in the North and South a long time ago. Kim Gyeong-bok (43) and Kim Yu-mi (38) are a couple who are serious about concept camping. Since Halloween the year before last, the movie Avatar makeup has been standard, and she even transformed into the Little Mermaid in The Simpsons, complete with a tail, showing off her high-level makeup quality! This year’s winter villa decorated by Geumson and his wife. Unlike last year, when everything from the caravan to the tent was all white.
This time, both outside and inside.
It is said that the paper was decorated with an all-black concept. The tent used as a living room is also said to have a completely different feel as the interior was set up without any floor construction. Instead, they said they used a wood-burning stove and fan heater to relieve concerns about the cold. Using a wood-burning stove using pellets has the advantage of lower heating costs than regular firewood. In addition, the newly purchased caravan is even equipped with a rooftop, making it even more upgraded than last year! They say they hate boring things, so they prepare events such as cabbage dosa and radish dosa to enjoy new things at their winter villa with their long-term neighbors. Let’s take a look at the daily lives of a couple who are concept craftsmen with as much passion as comedians!
