It was a good opportunity to promote Jirisan farmers nationwide.
Start of broadcasting
It was not a matter for me to decide on my own.
Han Ki-tak, Baek Min-seok, and Seol Kang-in also sought opinions from the team leaders of the Jirisan farmers.
Along with the broadcast appearance, he briefly mentioned his plans for the future.
He said he would actively inform the public about the farmers of Jirisan.
They also shared opinions about large-scale hydroponics and funding.
Baek Min-seok was the first to speak.
“I think appearing on TV could be a good opportunity. Also for funding. Because many people know Jirisan farmers as shopping malls.”
“I think it’s a good opportunity, too, on the condition that our CEO doesn’t get a celebrity disease.”
Han Ki-tak said with a smile. They all burst out laughing at that.
“I agree, it’s also a great opportunity to promote Jirisan farmers nationwide.”
Seol Kang-in was of the same opinion.
“I heard that broadcasting can have a negative image if done wrong, but that won’t happen, right?”
Baek Min-seok asked cautiously. It was old-fashioned, but there was no law preventing that from happening.
“Since it’s a show that helps farmers in need, there will be no such thing, and besides, our representative is not an ordinary person.”
At Han Ki-tak’s words, Baek Min-seok nodded.
“Then I’ll pass it on to the writer, and I’ll appear on TV.”
After the meeting, they went back to their seats. I caught Seol Kang-in on the way to the ranch for a while.
“Chief Seol, can I talk to you for a moment?”
I moved to a quiet place with Seol Kang-in.
“What are you trying to say?”
“It seems difficult to keep the promise this year.”
“A promise…?”
It was the promise I made when I asked him to work with him.
He said that he would open a second store in Gyeonggi-do once the ranch is established.
Upon hearing my story, Seol Kang-in smiled faintly.
“I have no excuses because I can’t keep my promises.”
“Don’t say that, I’m satisfied with what you’ve done so far. Without you, my family would have been torn apart.”
Seol Kang-in’s eyes softened when he said the word “family”.
“Without Team Leader Seol, there would be no ranch today.”
“Thank you for telling me that, to be honest, even if there is a second ranch in the current state, I have no intention of going. Because our ranch has improved.”
His sincerity was felt.
“I don’t think you work solely for personal greed. What I am going to do now is the same.”
It was reassuring to have him on the ranch.
I expressed my gratitude to Seol Kang-in.
He smiled and patted my shoulder.

I told my parents at the apiary about appearing on TV.
It was agreed without question.
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
My mother liked it when she said that she was helping the farmers.
“In that case, my son is the best in the country.”
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
Mother raised her voice and said.
“Don’t hurt other colleagues by broadcasting.”
After the mother, the father said.
“What kind of damage does Deokmyung do?”
“That’s what it means.”
“I can’t cheer for you to do well.”
“Why are you so mean today?”
I slowly got up from my seat. After a while, sparks could fall.

On one side of the apiary, Jang-Woo Lee and Yo-Han Min were working hard on something.
“What are you working so hard for?”
“Mr. Jang is showing off his skills.”
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
Min Yo-han answered my question.
Lee Jang-woo was attaching a small solar panel to the beehive.
“I think the beekeeping device can be used with solar power enough.”
It was then that Jangwoo Lee opened his mouth.
He was making new equipment by referring to the beekeeping equipment he had bought at the fair.
The items bought at the fair did not have solar panels. Also, the technique was awesome.
“It looks better than the one I bought from America.”
The device for controlling the temperature was also newly manufactured using a heating wire and a cooling fan.
“I came up with an idea while making a beekeeping machine. I also talked with Min Yo-han.”
Jangwoo Lee told me.
“What idea?”
“The idea is to put a solar panel in a salad container.”
The salad container was able to grow vegetables 365 days a year without a break.
It was possible to grow salads continuously without being affected by the weather or the environment.
Electricity was essential to maintain that environment.
“Using solar power can save electricity bills and prepare for emergencies.”
Lee Jang-woo said while looking at the solar panel on the hive.
As he said, I was able to prepare for electricity bills and contingencies.
“I agree, too, I will take action immediately.”
It wasn’t for me to decide.
It was something to discuss with the person in charge.
Before leaving, I also informed them about appearing on TV.
Hearing these words, Min Yo-han jumped up from his seat.
“I don’t think I’ll ever break my beekeeping promise because of the broadcast.”
“A broadcast is a broadcast, and a promise is a promise.”
“Then I will be at peace.”
Lee Jang-woo said nothing.
“Jangwoo, don’t you have anything to say?”
“Can I be honest?”
“It’s good to be honest.”
“I am Daehwanyoung. When you’re busy, I’m free.”
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
Min Yo-han heard Lee Jang-woo’s words and asked.
“Does Deok-myeong treat Jang-woo so harshly?”
“He’s a friend, but someone you need to keep your distance from.”
At Lee Jang-woo’s words, Min Yo-han chuckled and laughed.

Before appearing on TV, I wanted to solve the problem of solar panels.
I immediately called Kang Min-soo, the chief of staff.
“Can I see you today?”
“I am now at the Agricultural Support Center.”
“Then, can I see you at the office?”
“Yes, I do.”
At the same time, he was at the Agricultural Support Center. It was on the way out after a meeting with the center director.
I went into the office with him.
“This is the first time for the farmers in Jirisan. The environment is more pleasant than the military office.”
Kang Min-soo seemed happy that things went well.
went straight to the point.
We talked about solar panels to be installed in salad containers.
He added that it was simply not at the level of help.
The situation in which electricity went out during hydroponics was explained in detail.
If we were not prepared for such a moment, a major accident could occur.
“As you said, installing a solar panel would be very helpful.”
“It’s not helpful, it’s necessary.”
“I understand what you mean.”
“Then you mean it can be installed?”
“I’m sorry, but I don’t have the budget for that.”
I understand what it means, but I can’t help it.
It was an ongoing government-funded project. It was difficult to put the funds of the farmers in Jirisan.
Kang Min-su tied his hair and pondered. The youth farmer support project was achieving results beyond expectations.
He also didn’t want to miss a single thing.
Kang Min-soo, who was worried, opened his eyes.
“Maybe we can find a way.”
“How?”
“Wait a minute.”
Kang Min-soo got up from his seat. He left the office saying he would be back soon.
Kang Min-soo came back less than 10 minutes after going out.
“I got a solar panel.”
I actually got a solar panel in 10 minutes.
It was an item in the warehouse of the Agricultural Support Center.
It was said that it was used for a support project a long time ago and is now stored in a warehouse.
“Can I check to see if there is anything wrong?”
“Sure.”
I called Jangwoo Lee.
It was necessary to check whether it was suitable for use in a salad container.
After the inspection, Jang-woo Lee raised his thumb.
I have had no problems using it in salad containers.

It was two days after I agreed to appear on the show. A meeting with the author was scheduled.
The meeting place was Seoul. It was said that all the staff participating in the broadcast will gather in one place.
I got a visitor’s pass and went inside the broadcasting station.
A woman was sitting in the conference room.
“You came earlier than the promised time, my name is Go Ae-ju, the main writer.”
“My name is Kim Deok-myung.”
“I heard a lot from Eun-jung.”
Go Ae-joo had a relationship with shadow writer Seong-jung at school. He said that he got to know me while planning the broadcast.
“Excuse me, how old are you this year?”
“Twenty-nine.”
“You look younger than that.”
She didn’t look very old either. At most, he was in his mid-thirties.
“I didn’t mean to say it because it meant anything. To be honest, one of the reasons I was cast for Mr. Deokmyeong is because of my age.”
“What does age have to do with it?”
“You are a successful young farmer.”
“I don’t think I’m at the stage where I can call it a success yet.”
“You are humble, as I said, Mr. Deokmyeong is the main actor in our program.”
It was my job to provide solutions to the farmers in difficult situations.
People started to come into the conference room.
“This is Assistant Director Hong Dae-cheol.”
“I’m Choi Min-seong, who is in charge of directing.”
Finally, Min-seo Geum, who will be the host with me, appeared. She greeted her with a friendly face.
seemed to remember me. The feeling was quite different from when I saw it on the set of the drama.
There was a lively and fun atmosphere.
The assistant director briefly explained the theme and method of the broadcast.
I brought up the story of my role first.
“Mr. Deok-myung Kim is responsible for providing solutions to farmers in difficult situations.”
It was my responsibility not only to come up with a solution, but also to run around the farmhouse with my feet.
“If you come up with a solution, you should discuss it with us.”
The broadcasting station also said that they would review the solution I suggested together and help farmers as much as possible.
“What Kim Deok-myeong is doing with the farmers is going to go out as is, like a documentary. There are also scenes of struggling farmers getting up again.”
This time, PD Choi Min-seong, who was in charge of directing, said:
“You can talk with the farmers in the studio with Min-seo Geum. It’s as light and fun as possible.”
What happened with the farmers is a documentary, but the way the story is told was more like a variety show.
As soon as the explanation of the program was over, Minseo Geum stood up first.
He said he had a filming schedule and asked for his understanding. The PD and the writer sent her first as if it was natural.
I was able to estimate her role by looking at the way she treated Geum Min-seo.
Although it was an assistant to the program, it seemed to be regarded as an element of box office success.
Geum Min-seo’s popularity has not yet cooled. I also felt like I tried harder to cast her than I did.
After she left, the meeting began in earnest.
It was a discussion about the first performer.
“I am not an expert in all farming.”
I drew the line first.
“We are well aware of it, but I don’t think there is anyone as a multi-disciplinary expert as Mr. Kim Deok-myeong.”
Writer Ko Ae-joo answered.
It was a tone that said that he did a lot of research about me.
“So, by the way, how about starting with beekeeping? Kim Deok-myeong is an expert in beekeeping.”
Writer Ko Ae-joo made eye contact with PD Choi Min-seong.
“As we planned the program, we received stories from farmers. There was a farmer who raised bees among the stories that stood out.”
“Can I see the story?”
Assistant Director Hong Dae-cheol moved quickly. He handed me a piece of paper with a story on it.
It was the story of a farmer who raises bees in the mountains of Chungcheong Province.
He was a man who left the city life behind and went back to farming.
It was said that the bees they were raising fell ill and died.
He said he wanted to start beekeeping again, but couldn’t find a way.
After reading the story, Go Ae-ju asked.
“How are you feeling?”
“You can’t tell just by looking at the story. I want to visit and see it in person, is it possible?”
“Of course we should meet.”
Go Ae-ju said as if waiting.
“How about going with my staff?”
PD Choi Min-seong asked.
“I want to go alone, is it okay?”
I would have come with a camera. I wanted to judge the situation as it was.
“Then would you mind coming with me?”
Writer Ko Ae-joo asked me, making eye contact.
It wouldn’t be a problem if you didn’t come with a camera.
“It’s good if you don’t have a camera.”
“Yes, I do.”
