"Kim Jeong-nan" actress Kim Jeong-nan received an unexpected gift after hard farm work.
On the 22nd, a video titled ""Should I move to the countryside?!" Actress Kim Jeong-nan planting scallions on a 200-pyeong field and preparing for kimchi" was released on Kim Jeong-nan's YouTube. That day, Kim Jeong-nan participated in farming at a field tended by an acquaintance's family. At the acquaintance's home, which was making 500 heads of kimchi, Kim Jeong-nan wanted to get kimchi and planned to offer labor as payment in kind.
Kim Jeong-nan and her acquaintance, Director Jeong, prepared thoroughly for the field work. This field in Paju was a place familiar to Kim Jeong-nan's subscribers. Even the quiet rest-area restaurant was familiar, and here Kim Jeong-nan went out to the field with iced coffee made with six packets of instant coffee as a snack.
Kim Jeong-nan made a rookie mistake, asking, "Will this take about two hours?" The field owner explained the method, saying, "It doesn't work well to dig the ground with your hands. You can dig with a spoon. See you later," and then left. The acquaintance kept muttering, "You know you have to plant this without overthinking, right?" and Kim Jeong-nan said, "Hey, when I'm stressed I should come and do farm work," and seemed to gain insight, saying, "Working without thinking is real meditation."
The acquaintance asked with a laugh, "Aren't you having a snack?" But after Kim Jeong-nan steadfastly planted 300 scallions, she finally took a break. While eating the snack, they talked about Park Mi-seon's story. Park Mi-seon also ate the bean rice cake made by Kim Jeong-nan. The acquaintance relayed the taste review, saying, "It wasn't sweet and it was nutty."
Returning to farm work, they tried planting large green onions. Larger in number than scallions and seemingly harder to plant, the large green onions made Kim Jeong-nan wince, saying, "It's harder to plant large green onions. The stalks are too thin, so it's hard to plant," but she soon found a method and began moving her hands quickly. Watching the black puppy guarding the field, Kim Jeong-nan said with a fresh expression, "Look at Kkamsuni sitting there. So cute," and "Can you see I'm sweating? I didn't spray water. Ah, but I feel so good."
The acquaintance laughed, "At this rate Kim Jeong-nan will say she's going to buy land here," and Kim Jeong-nan agreed, saying, "Won't I move to the countryside later?" indicating how comfortable she felt. Kim Jeong-nan reacted with reverence to the hardship of farming, saying, "This is the first time I've bent over and sat working like this for three hours."
Over a honey-like dinner, Kim Jeong-nan described the hardships of being an actress. "I have a sensitive stomach so I looked for probiotics. Especially our kind of profession is bound to be sensitive. Sleeping and going to the bathroom are issues in this job. So some actors don't eat at all before filming," she said, then laughed, "But I eat five meals. I have to so I can act."
Meanwhile, Kim Jeong-nan received the YouTube Silver Play Button six months after posting on YouTube. It was to commemorate reaching 100,000 subscribers, and Kim Jeong-nan was very pleased.
Kim Jeong-nan expressed gratitude and determination, saying, "While doing YouTube, my friends really helped me a lot and were a great support. Please cheer Director Jeong on a lot," and "I will continue to create without losing my initial spirit."
