Lee Seon-bin from 'Potato Research Institute' faced humiliation with a smoking cessation patch.
On the 1st, the first broadcast of the tvN weekend drama 'Potato Research Institute' (written by Kim Ho-soo, directed by Kang Il-soo and Shim Jae-hyun) depicted Kim Mi-kyung (Lee Seon-bin)'s struggles.
Kim Mi-kyung started a presentation about the new variety 'Jangsaeng' potato to local residents. However, some local residents protested, claiming they had suffered losses last year. Consequently, although Kim Mi-kyung tried to explain the advantages of the 'Jangsaeng' potato, she was unable to provide a proper explanation due to the backlash.
At that moment, a person who appeared to be the village chief raised their hand and bluntly asked, 'How much can you offer if we put aside the complicated things?' When Kim Mi-kyung mentioned a price of about 800 won per kilogram, the residents' complaints grew louder, insisting on 950 won.
Kim Mi-kyung attempted to adjust the potato price to 900 won, 920 won, and 930 won per kilogram but failed. As a result, frustrated and unable to achieve her goals, Kim Mi-kyung started packing up her belongings. At this point, Kwon Hee-dong (Nam Hyun-woo) tried to stick a smoking cessation patch he had received from his seniors on Kim Mi-kyung, saying, 'They said to put one on since you'll be irritated,' which elicited laughter.
Additionally, Seonnyeo Food was merged into Wonhan Retail through M&A. Wonhan Retail was also the company Kim Mi-kyung had a grievance against.
