In Sangsaho, Suncheon, Jeolla-do, a place of taste and style, there is a precious thing that appears at this time of year: wild freshwater eel. Fisherman Kim Gwang-hyun, who has been catching only wild freshwater eels for over 30 years, says that there is something to be especially careful about when catching freshwater eels. He says that the precious eel should be caught secretly, even turning off the boat's engine, so that it doesn't escape... People in the know make reservations and wait for the eels to be caught because the water quality of Sangsaho is good. The wild eels that are finally caught are delivered to the guests who made the reservations, and the catfish caught that day are boiled into spicy fish stew with the village elders. And there is also freshly pickled red mustard kimchi. Kim Gwang-hyun believes that sharing with the villagers as much as Sangsaho gives is the way of life! We meet Kim Gwang-hyun and the people of Sangsaho, who have devoted their lives to freshwater eel, which is in season right now. ✔ Program name: Korea Travel - Waiting for this moment Part 4 Eurachacha Mr. Kim ✔ Broadcast date: 2023.07.06
