◆ [그날 후] Sudden acceleration accidents are on the rise. What are the different countermeasures?
Last April, an accident occurred in an apartment complex in Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, where a parked car collided with 12 parked cars. It was said that the driver at the time was not the car owner but an apartment security guard. Why was the security guard driving? The apartment complex where the accident occurred has limited parking space, and parking is usually difficult, so people have to double park. As a result, the car has to be removed day and night, so the residents and the security guard have long agreed to keep the car keys in the security room and the security guard parks the car on their behalf. That day too, an accident occurred while the security guard was parking instead. However, the car owner and security guard claim that a sudden acceleration accident is suspected considering the black box and the circumstances at the time of the accident. The problem is that although accidents suspected of sudden acceleration, including this accident, are increasing, not a single case has been recognized so far. Accordingly, in order to accurately determine whether sudden acceleration did not occur, the car owner requested the court, not the police, to verify the accident analysis along with an application for evidence preservation, and the court’s decision was made four months later.
Sudden acceleration accident that occurs when the driver is out of control! In Korea, it is said that drivers are trying to come up with self-rescue measures as drivers must directly prove vehicle defects. In the case of the so-called ‘Do-hyeon incident’ that occurred in Gangneung three years ago, the bereaved family spent their own money to conduct an accident re-enactment test and prepare for a legal battle. I heard that the number of people looking for pedal black boxes has increased. How are drivers responding to repeated accidents suspected of sudden acceleration?
◆ [할매 식당] Grandma’s affection in a bowl of rich sundae soup
Jidong Market is one of the traditional markets in Suwon with a 100-year history. This place is specialized as a market specializing in sundae, so many people come to eat sundae soup and stir-fried sundae tripe. Today’s Grandmother’s Restaurant is also located right here, owned by ‘Grandma Oh Yeon-sook (81 years old),’ who is said to have been in business the longest in this market. Until 50 years ago, my grandmother was living with my grandfather, farming in a village called Haenam Okcheon. However, because farming was not going well and debt was increasing, he moved to Suwon in 1984. With the help of an acquaintance who was selling sundae in Suwon at the time, my grandfather learned how to sell sundae and guided my grandmother that way. My grandfather ran a sundae factory, and with the addition of my grandmother’s homemade taste, business prospered and household living improved, but one day, my grandfather’s health began to deteriorate. It is said that he eventually passed away at the age of 65 after a battle with cancer… Even his son, who was working in Seoul at the time, came down and helped out at the restaurant, and it is said that it has already been more than 20 years since the son filled the empty position of his father. Currently, the grandmother continues her business by receiving ingredients from wholesalers in the market. This restaurant is truly something to be thankful for to my grandmother, who paid off her debts by running a sundae business and raised her four children well. At first, she mainly sold sundae soup, but as the number of young customers increased, she started selling sundae and stir-fried tripe as well. Oh Yeon-sook said she wanted to thank her for her hard work in maintaining the restaurant for a long time even when her husband was absent. Today too, let’s go to Suwon Sundae Town Grandma Restaurant, which is open from dawn and waiting for customers.
◆ [가족이 뭐길래] A passion found in the twilight! Magician couple in their 80s
A rural village in Gimje, Jeollabuk-do. Choi Kyung-soo and Lee Sun-jong, a couple who love and care for each other, live here. A couple who has always worked and lived in Seoul and raised three siblings. After retirement, she came to Gimje, her husband’s hometown, to take care of her in-laws, whose health was deteriorating. However, he had almost no friends or acquaintances left in his hometown. Moreover, one day he had no interest or talent in farming, so he had no choice but to lead a boring life. My husband happened to find a banner at the village cultural center that said magic was taught to the elderly. Even my wife, who was against it at first, quickly became fascinated by the magic trick of making the ball disappear from one’s hand and giving people joy. His wife, Sunjong, who was particularly dexterous, learned magic at a faster rate than her husband! As if to prove his passion for magic, he worked even harder to obtain a magician’s license and visited senior magicians across the country to learn new magic. But the happiness was short-lived, as his wife made frequent mistakes during the performance. Eventually, I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease not long after. For a year afterward, I had so many depressing days that I couldn’t help but regain my energy through magic! Moreover, the husband, who says that he will always be with his wife, from washing her face to going out for a walk, is always by her side. In the second act of life in the twilight, let’s listen to the life story of a couple who is twice as happy because they are together.
◆ [오늘 대(大)공개] People who open the dawn. 24 hour fish market
Noryangjin Fish Market opened in 1927 during the Japanese colonial period in the center of Seoul and is still in operation today! The 24-hour Noryangjin Fish Market, with over 4,000 merchants and 30,000 customers a day, is being unveiled today! This is a place where the lights never go out, 365 days a year. It is said that about 370 types of seafood, including live fish from all over the country, are being traded since early morning. Since the auction starts every day at dawn, there is no time for the lights to go out. As the largest consumer fish market in the country, the size of the auction hall is a whopping 2,106 pyeong! Noryangjin Fish Market boasts a huge sales area of 2,564 pyeong. This is not all! I was also able to meet the youngest CEO, Yoo Han-na, who turned 30 this year. It has been 5 years since she entered Noryangjin to help her mother who was short of labor. Hanna said she didn’t want to hear that what she called customers was a price. Afterwards, they started selling online by sharing and promoting all information, including the same-day market price and special price information, on SNS. As a result of such efforts, sales tripled and sales on Christmas alone reached a whopping 28 million won. The story of the fish market does not end here! I was even able to see the preparation site for the Noryangjin Fisheries Festival, which will be held on November 2nd and 3rd. I am now visiting the site of the Noryangjin Fisheries Market, a port in Seoul that is full of vitality 24 hours a day.
