Baek Jong-won once again began to save Kim.
On the 4th of SBS’s’Plaza of Taste’, Baek Jong-won, who visited Kim Eoga again after a year, was drawn.
In the broadcast that day, Baek Jong-won said, “I’ll see you in one year. I came too late last year, and I came early this year.” The fisherman greeted him for coming back and thanked him.
Asked about the seaweed situation this year, a fisherman said, “The seaweed is a little cheap this year. Because of Corona 19, the market was blocked because it was not sold and lunch was not available.” I confessed.
In particular, in such a worst situation, even the dried seaweed factory was closed. The official said, “This is the first time this has happened in 10 years. Originally, it was a laver factory that had to run for a whole month, but nowadays it can only run about 15 days a month. So, it is in a situation that it is not possible to pay the labor costs.”
In addition, the wet condition was better than last year, but the price was revealed to be more regrettable than last year. Based on 120kg, last year it was 137,000 won, but this year it was 96,000 won, which is about 900 won for 1.2kg.
The fisherman surprised everyone by saying, “With 1 kilo of seaweed, you can boil 20 servings of kimguk.” And even in such a worst case, Kim said that he had to continue harvesting despite the deficit because it disappears if it is not harvested at a certain time.
In an unfortunate situation, Baek Jong-won burned his will, saying, “I have to sell this on live broadcasts,” and the fishermen expressed their wishes, saying, “I hope the people will eat a lot because the water seaweed is sold well.”
