Hanbok researcher Park Sul-nyeo of "Scoop World" made a burial shroud for her eldest brother, Park Jong-cheon.
The MBN episode of "Scoop World" aired on the 5th and featured Park Sul-nyeo, who has lived a 48-year life devoted to hanbok. Her husband, who helped her by focusing on childcare and housework so she could make hanbok, remains in Tongyeong, and her children have left to live independently and study. Currently Park Sul-nyeo runs the hanbok shop she opened in Cheongdam-dong 23 years ago and a second branch in Insadong.
The support and sacrifices of Park Sul-nyeo's family for her were remarkable. In particular, Park Sul-nyeo's affection for her mother and siblings was deep. Her mother held on to Park Sul-nyeo until the end despite a life of poverty. But Park Sul-nyeo cried, saying she could not do her best for her mother while she was alive.
Park Sul-nyeo's tears remained. Now her eldest brother, who had been as dependable as a father, was on life support. Park Sul-nyeo cried, saying, "My brother had a cerebral aneurysm. I didn't even know that. He had surgery, it recurred, he collapsed, and then he couldn't get up and is on life support."
Her eldest brother is said to have helped her set up the shop by providing a large sum of money when Park Sul-nyeo first opened a hanbok shop, like a father. Her first hanbok shop was opened 23 years ago and is currently located in Cheongdam.
Park Sul-nyeo said, "I am making a burial shroud. It used to be said that if you make a burial shroud you will live a long life. I keep that in one corner of my heart," and she made a beautiful shroud. She hoped, as the old saying goes, that her brother would shake it off and get up.
As she handed it to her nephew, her brother's son, Park Sul-nyeo said tearfully, "This was made from the silk of the hanbok my father used to wear," "What matters is that we are alive to at least eat kimchi stew together once; no matter what this is, this is all an aunt can do. This is a blanket," and "I wish I had looked into hospitals earlier when my brother was sick; not doing so is something I deeply regret." The nephew, understanding his aunt's feelings, cried with her.
