A barbershop that cuts through time At first glance, it looks like a barbershop that has been closed for quite some time. However, barber Lee Jong-wan (85) opens the door and welcomes customers again today. He started holding scissors at the age of sixteen and has been working as a barber for 70 years. It has been 60 years since he cut, shaved, and colored the hair of customers here. From Daejeon Station to the railroad office and the nearby school. There must be countless people who have visited his barbershop in Soje-dong. Although there are not as many customers as before, the rice cooker that heats water, the scissors that have become too small because they were sharpened, and the sturdy chair still stand by the barbershop firmly. He said he would quit when redevelopment happened, but now it has come to this point. Now, it is truly the last day before demolition. The barbershop’s scissors continue until the very end. From the gifts the barber gives to customers who visit the barbershop to the special amount he receives from customers who have only half-shaved their hair, we take a look at the affectionate and fun things that only happen at this barbershop. ■ (2) Part 2. A table filled with 60 years of history A neat hanok house in an alley in Jangcheon-dong, Suncheon. The sounds of cleaning and preparing ingredients resonate from the morning. Today, too, it is the affectionate sound of preparing a meal. The restaurant has its third owner, but the cooking skills of the so-called 'restaurant aunties' are still the same as before. The taste and the order of the dishes have been passed down from the senior staff members, and today, the restaurant aunties here prepare a plentiful meal for the customers. At first, they cried a lot because of the hard cleaning from the morning, the enormous amount of food, and the complicated order of the dishes. However, as time passed, the restaurant became more like my home, no, it became my home. We will look at the daily lives of the 'restaurant aunties', the delicious dishes they prepare, and the management of the hanok house where they live, which is a mixture of decades. ■ (3) Part 3. The Alley with the Smell of Fish Goheung was once famous as a golden fishing ground, catching fish and exporting them overseas. There is a charcoal grilled fish alley there that naturally emerged as fish were sold and grilled. The rows of various fish and squids being carefully dried on the rooftop, the red pillars of fire rising from dawn, the fragrant smell of sesame oil, and baskets filled with ripe fish are the long-standing scenes of this market alley. The first generation that created this place has already left, and the second and subsequent generations are busy packaging fish to be sent nationwide. People who have been buying fish here since childhood still visit as adults, buying a bunch of fish and leaving the market alley. As this once quiet place becomes crowded with people, loud noises (?) are exchanged between market vendors and middlemen, and the smoke from the charcoal fires that are lit all at once even calls for a fire truck… Let’s follow a day in the tumultuous Fish Alley. ■ (4) Part 4. A landscape where time has passed A theater with an old movie sign still hanging, a steelworks that shows the long years that have passed, a sound room, a teahouse building… In Cheongdo-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do, there is ‘Yucheon Village’ where time has stopped. Yucheon (楡川), named after the thickets of elm trees and the river. This village, which was once a transportation hub where the station and the road intersected, was once one of the busiest places in Cheongdo County. Meanwhile, the village’s old master, the rice mill, has shared the village’s joys and sorrows for over 80 years. Upon entering the rice mill, you can see the rice milling machine and rafters, conveying the history of the mill. The owner of the mill, Kim Mal-soon, touches the old pillars of the mill and tells us the history of the store and the story of Yucheon Village. The sparrows that can’t pass the mill, the cats that climb up the shack. In that place where proverbial things actually happen, we look back on those days from decades ago. ■ (5) Part 5. Nostalgic Scenery from an Old Album Mokpo, a city where the beautiful scenery of the port city is right before your eyes, modern buildings that have stood for a long time are on the streets, and each store and house has its own story. Mokpo, which was one of the three major ports opened by the Japanese, is now an old city that retains its modern appearance after the ship of development departed. The scenery of Mokpo, which changes greatly and still remains the same, is not just a city to some, but a longing itself filled with memories wherever you step. Mokpo's tour guide, Lee Ok-hee, is a native of Mokpo who was born and raised there, and at the same time, a person who loves Mokpo so much. Her steps are brisk as she walks around the city introducing old stores. She says that the snack 'Ssukkkulle', which she enjoyed eating since she was young, and the Chinese food 'Jungkkan', which can only be found in Mokpo, are the foods of Mokpo that she confidently recommends. From the sight of a Korean tiger that looks like it's about to pounce at any moment to the Jjonddeugi restaurant that is still crowded with people every day. Let's take a look at various places in Mokpo where Lee Ok-hee's pride, longing, and affection are evident. #TV로보보골라둣도큐
