Trot singer Park Ji-hyun revealed that she used to work in wholesale seafood in Mokpo.
The full-scale real street food documentary 'Jun Hyun-moo plan 3' airing on the 15th follows Jun Hyun-moo and Kwak Tube (Kwak Jun-bin) as they head to Samcheok, Gangwon Province with "Trot Prince" Park Ji-hyun.
That day Jun Hyun-moo shouted, "This is Samcheok, the southernmost part of Gangwon Province. Today's ingredients are just 'alive~' special!" Next, the two greeted "food friend" Park Ji-hyun and headed straight to Beongae Market, Samcheok's "freshness mecca." As soon as they entered the seafood market, Jun Hyun-moo introduced, "Park Ji-hyun is really a seafood expert. She is from Mokpo and even worked in the related business." In response, Park Ji-hyun revealed a resume of a different class, saying, "I worked in wholesale seafood. I prepared more than 60,000 fermented skate." In fact, Park Ji-hyun scanned the market fish and even used a fluent dialect, saying, "This is junchi~," instantly transforming perfectly from a "trot singer" into a "fish expert."
But her exceptional expert aura lasted only a moment as market merchants and citizens immediately recognized Park Ji-hyun and showered her with special welcome. Park Ji-hyun responded with her characteristic charming friendliness, enlivening the market atmosphere. Thanks to that, the three roamed the market, enjoying the "10,000-won happiness" of buying a plate each of freshly sliced flounder served with bones, fresh conch from the mountains, and half-dried alfonsino for only 10,000 won. They then moved to a market table-service restaurant where they had the seafood they bought prepared at a low price and tasted dishes such as braised alfonsino. As the mukbang heat peaked, Park Ji-hyun also brought up her family. She confessed, "All of my mother's family work in the seafood industry. My maternal uncle worked on boats, and my maternal grandfather was the head of the fishing village." She added, "I started working in the seafood industry naturally to help my mother, from middle school onward..."
