▶ A mother-daughter collaboration that seems more real than real! 'Sweet rice cake with tuber crops'
The 'sweet rice cake with tuber crops,' which perfectly embodies the appearance of the crops as well as the taste of the main ingredients, has recently gained popularity on social media. Made from 100% sweet rice and unsweetened ingredients, this bakery offers a total of 9 varieties, including potato, sweet potato, green onion, corn, and carrot. Eun-hye, who once worked in various industries, found her passion for baking after studying pastry and baking with her parents' support to open the current bakery. Her mother became a steadfast business partner, and her father supported the interior construction of the bakery to cheer on his daughter's path to success. However, about a year into the business, her father suddenly passed away, and now she runs the shop with just her mother. Eun-hye finds it most heartbreaking that she couldn't show her father her success. Remembering her father, who would have trusted and supported her more than anyone else, she prepares the bread with heartfelt dedication every day.

The island 'Yeongheungdo,' which you can reach by car, traveling 50 km from the center of Incheon, offers an exotic landscape that only locals know. Nogari Beach, with its amusing name, has the 'Haesik Cave,' a piece of natural art created by the long-term ebb and flow and the countless waves that have crashed against it. Capturing a photograph in front of the breathtaking rock cliffs, resembling piled rocks, is said to be the way to remember Nogari Beach. The local, Iman-gi, takes a stunning life photo at Haesik Cave.
▶ Cat lover's mysterious life, with 100 cats in a seaside village on Yeongheungdo
There is someone who moved to Yeongheungdo solely for the cats and began a seaside life. Kim Young-jae protects cats that have been abused and abandoned by their owners. While going back and forth to the hospital to save injured cats, he naturally found no time to think about difficult things. At that moment, he realized, 'I didn't save the cat; the cat saved me through my hardships.' Starting from that connection, as he began to adopt stray cats little by little, he currently has an astounding 100 cats under his care. The local, Iman-gi, visits Young-jae's paradise for cats on Yeongheungdo.
▶ The only 'equipment blacksmith' in Ongjin County - Yeongheungdo's little giant, Lee Gyu-san the blacksmith
Starting in spring, there is a busy day for Lee Gyu-san, a blacksmith with 60 years of experience, catching various shellfish in the mudflat of Yeongheungdo. Although they may all look the same at first glance, the tools are custom-made differently according to the type, gender, physical characteristics, and age of the shellfish being harvested, such as clams, cockles, and oysters. Lee Gyu-san is currently the only blacksmith in Ongjin County. His greatest concern is having no one to inherit his trade, and he is working harder than anyone to keep the blacksmith shop healthy. We visit Gyu-san's blacksmith shop in Yeongheungdo, where customers' heartfelt wishes for his health echo.
▶ Unique cafe in Seonjaedo competing with 'new-tro' sensibilities
Meaning 'the place where fairies danced,' Seonjaedo boasts beautiful scenery from the island. Amidst the charming cafes lining the coastline of Seonjaedo, there is a solitary 'dabang' (traditional Korean cafe). Celebrating its 5th anniversary this year, owner Gian sought survival among competitive cafes by diving into the startup of 'new-tro' sensibility cafes. With mother-of-pearl furniture, traditional matchboxes, and low sofas, the retro theme has captured the youth. Additionally, nostalgic menus and complimentary Magic Candies evoke old memories, providing a cozy space where Iman-gi takes a breath with a bowl of misutgaru (mixed grain powder).

When combining their experiences, the tailors in that place boast a collective 500 years of expertise. This story revolves around a handmade suit shop run by a young representative in their 30s.

He gave up pursuing a university education, became a garment technician, and entered the world of suit-making. After persuading seasoned tailors in Incheon's old suit street for three months, he scouted seven suit tailors. Slated to create the finest suits through the combination of the old and the new, he provides free handmade suits to one national merit individual each month out of a wish to help someone.
