Renowned Hanbok Master Park Sul-Nyeo's Second House Revealed on 'Chairman's People'
On the 98th episode of tvN STORY's 'Chairman's People' airing on the 26th (Monday), South Korea's representative Hanbok artisan Park Sul-Nyeo makes her first appearance, revealing her rural life in Toechon and behind-the-scenes stories with top stars. Park Sul-Nyeo, a self-proclaimed fan of 'Chairman's People,' showcases a special chemistry with the rural family.
Kim Yong-Gun, Kim Soo-Mi, Lee Kye-In, Kim Hye-Jung, Lim Ho, and Jo Hana leave Ganghwa Island to visit Toechon, a place known as a retirement village due to its popularity among retirees. They explore new homes in Toechon, which is notable for its Gyeongan Stream Wetland Ecological Park and natural scenery. At the first rural house they visit, a Hanbok fashion show unfolds, allowing everyone to appreciate the beauty of Hanbok. It turns out that the first house is Park Sul-Nyeo's second home.
Having dedicated 46 years to Hanbok, Park Sul-Nyeo has crafted Hanboks for top stars like Kim Hee-Sun, Lim Young-Woong, Jung Dong-Won, and BTS. She previously gifted Hanboks to the 'Chairman's People' family during the last Lunar New Year and now invites them to her Toechon home. The rural family members express their fandom by holding an impromptu runway show featuring Hanboks worn by BTS during their rookie days and by trot singers like Lim Young-Woong. Lim Ho humorously requests Lim Young-Woong to appear on 'Chairman's People' while wearing the Hanbok.
Park Sul-Nyeo, who has lived in Toechon for over 10 years, extols the village's virtues, revealing that she designed her home based on feng shui advice. The house, surrounded by mountains in a 'Geumgye Poran' shape, features traditional Korean aesthetics and will be showcased on the broadcast. She also reveals her life's treasures, including rare silks worth the price of ten apartments or five buildings, and shares behind-the-scenes stories, such as receiving offers worth millions of won for BTS Hanboks.
Despite her illustrious career, Park Sul-Nyeo sheds tears remembering her late mother, who passed away 13 years ago. She shares touching stories about her mother looking at her business card to see her face and feeling regret for being late to her mother's 80th birthday celebration. Park Sul-Nyeo expresses her gratitude and apologies to her family, who have silently supported her busy life as a master artisan.
An enigmatic woman with blonde hair and a sports car makes a dramatic entrance to meet the rural family, exuding charisma. She meticulously prepares the stage, heightening curiosity about her identity with the keyword 'diva of the era.'
