Hello listeners! This is Yejin Lee. No matter how hard you work, have you ever had a time when you can’t move forward, when nothing happens the way you want, and in the end you want to give up everything? At such times, there are people who say that their lives were changed just by someone reaching out to them. Stories of people who held the hands and patted the backs of North Korean defectors who were unfamiliar and unfamiliar with everything, and of North Korean defectors who are living brilliant lives because of them, Let’s start now.
Izzy: What did you carry?
Go Yeon-hee: This is our patented product. It’s a product called badminton that you can play alone. Let me set it up. There is a shuttlecock attached here. You take them out one row at a time.
Izzy: It went up a lot. Long legs. Oh my. This might be more efficient in terms of location than playing regular badminton. These two can also be like this. Looking at one wall.
When her first love, whom she broke up with in North Korea, left for South Korea, Ko Yeon-hee escaped from North Korea, met her first love in South Korea, and succeeded in marrying her. With her boldness, she opened a factory manufacturing solar power structures with her first love, or rather, her husband, and even did the welding herself, increasing the size of the factory. I came. It turned out that Yeonhee had another company. It is an invention development company called Changseong Health Tech. The invention that Yeonhee is currently introducing combines the principles of badminton and a fishing rod. AKA playing badminton alone! When I place the pole vertically on the ground and pull it, it rises about 2 or 3 meters. A badminton ball is dangling from a long fishing line attached to the end. When you hit the ball, it flies far away in a semicircle and then comes back, so you can hit it alone or with two people without having to bother picking up the ball.
Izzy: Even when it bounces, it feels good. This is a real workout. I’ve only played it for a few minutes, but even though I’m just playing it by myself, it’s fun to give and receive like this. So who developed this?
Go Yeon-hee: The person who developed this is now separate. Here is the person who developed our famous good product.
Izzy: Are you developing this yourself and working together?
Byungjin Choi: That’s right. Not only this, but everything else we are doing now, we work together like this while listening to all the advice from the company.
Izzy: It looks like you can move in a variety of ways, but how do you do this?
Go Yeon-hee: First of all, you can think of it as an aerobic exercise machine that seniors can use freely while sitting.
Izzy: So you developed this together? or not…
Go Yeon-hee: You are the director.
It looks a little different from the leg exercise equipment commonly found at exercise centers or parks. Byeong-jin Choi, director of Changseong Health Tech, developed a novel exercise device that allows you to sit down and turn a wheel with your legs and exercise your arms at the same time by pulling the rope hanging on both sides with your arms or turning the small wheel in front to the left and right. It is said that
Izzy: Turn, turn, turn, turn~ It’s fun. While you were doing this, you were clapping and working out and saying, “What’s my age?” How did you two meet and start working together?
Byungjin Choi: When I first saw it, I was now running a factory. My wife and I were in the hospital together for about two years and then sent her wife to heaven. It was difficult trying to do it alone. So, aside from closing the factory…
Go Yeon-hee: We came in while the boss was running his business at that time.
Byungjin Choi: You probably won’t believe it. You may wonder how it all started out as an office with just a half-container box. I almost never leave work before 9 or 10 o’clock in the evening. I also can’t help it. I hardly ever rest on Saturdays and Sundays. That’s how I ended up here.
Choi Byung-jin, who ran the factory, first met Ko Yeon-hee and his wife when he rented a small office to them after the death of his wife. Choi Byeong-jin, who had lost all motivation after his wife’s death, saw his couple living so hard that he gave up his intention of quitting his job and became his current partner.
Go Yeon-hee: Actually, you can pretend not to know new chicks like us and don’t have to worry about it, but when you’re having a hard time like this, that one word of comfort, ‘What’s going on?’ I think this is it. In hindsight, every single word the director gave me turned out to be correct. I always felt like this was a bit like my father.
Choi Byung-jin: When I compare the people I know and the people I have experienced, they are completely different. I push ahead unconditionally, saying, “Let’s try it first and decide later.” I don’t have any regrets about things that I tried and didn’t work out. I have no regrets, no regrets, and no resentment toward others, so I have faith in that and there will be no problem if we do anything together. You can’t make things like this and do things like this anywhere else. But here, if I say what I have in mind and what I want, everyone supports me and just tells me to do it. I thought that while I could work like this, I would have no regrets even if I did everything myself.
(Sound from the scene)
Ijiyo: No, I was wondering where you went, but what kind of meat?
Go Yeon-hee: We are having a pork belly party.
Izzy: But this is very unusual right now. what?
Go Yeon-hee: The only one is our Director Choi’s work.
Izzy: This really is a really good idea.
In the factory yard, a cauldron is turned over on top of a drum to sizzle pork, but there is no smoke. Director Choi Byeong-jin, an inventor of household goods, removed the inconvenience by placing the flue further away. Now that the meat is deliciously cooked, shall we wrap it well in lettuce and eat it?
Izzy: First of all, to our CEO who worked hard and prepared, and also to the teacher.
Go Yeon-hee: Director Choi says so. It’s a very difficult path to becoming a prosperous company. Choosing that… I still want to go there sometime. Coming from North Korea, this company is not a company that only receives help from others. Don’t lose your original intention of being able to help someone like this, and keep the same original intention when dealing with people. I always say that.
Lee Iyo: Today, as I watched CEO Ko Yeon-hee, I felt many things as a woman. We have prepared a gift to truly compliment you. You are more beautiful than flowers, but we prepared such beautiful flowers.
Go Yeon-hee: Thank you. It’s so pretty. I commend you. It is a grateful relationship that connects the South and the North. thank you I would like to give this heart to our Director Choi.
Izzy: No, you seem a little shy.
Employee: You showed tears.
Choi Byung-jin: I get emotional thinking about the first time we met.
Go Yeon-hee: I hope that we will continue to work together until the end.
Yeonhee plans to continue working hard even if she gets off work late or cannot rest on the weekends. Because she wants to run a prosperous company together with Director Choi and her juniors who defected from North Korea. There will be more new inventions then, right? We’ll be back with a new protagonist this time next week.
