※ This video is part of the <Extreme Job - Danmuji Factory> broadcast on July 8, 2015. A food that cannot be left out with jajangmyeon and kimbap. There are people who make danmuji with care, which is sweet and sour and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. A factory in Sejong City that produces up to 60 tons of danmuji a day. When you enter this place, you will see people heavily armed with hygiene products from head to toe. Before the pickled radish from the storage warehouse becomes danmuji, it is first soaked in water to remove the saltiness and goes through a 'de-salting' process. After the de-salting, the radish goes through a large washing machine to become even cleaner. Workers are mobilized in earnest from the process of cutting the radish according to its use. Each radish is placed on a cutting machine, and the cut danmuji is sorted out one by one by type. These people continue to carry heavy baskets and constantly clean the radish. There is no time to rest for a moment due to the enormous amount of work. Sejong Special Self-Governing City has the largest danmuji factory in Korea. Inside, 100 workers covered in sanitary clothing are moving busily. The danmuji process begins with the work of reducing the salt content of the radish that has been pickled in advance. After a three-day desalination process, they head to a large washing machine. When radishes pour out of the washing machine like a waterfall, the workers start to get busy. They pick up thousands of radishes one by one and place them on a cutting machine. The workers’ wrists quickly become sore as they have to hold on to the thick radishes all day long while keeping both legs fixed to the floor. The cut danmuji is sorted by person according to its use, such as for kimbap and whole danmuji. This work, which requires a high level of concentration, continues for hours. ✔ Program name: Extreme Job - Danmuji Factory ✔ Broadcast date: 2015.07.08
