From Humble Beginnings to Kimchi Queen: A Remarkable Success Story
From a monthly wage of 39,000 won to an annual revenue of 47.8 billion won, the birth of the 'Kimchi Queen'.
The person featured on EBS's 'Seo Jang-hoon's Neighboring Millionaire' is none other than Park Mi-hee, the 'Grand Master of Korean Kimchi'.
She produces 100 tons of kimchi daily, 14,400 tons annually, and is the CEO of a 'National Kimchi Company' that achieves a whopping 47.8 billion won in annual sales.
Offering over 130 varieties of kimchi and responsible for the dining tables of Koreans, her story is a true epitome of a rags-to-riches transformation.
The nickname 'Kimchi Millionaire' doesn't seem out of place.
She has become a representative figure in the K-kimchi industry through silent effort and heartfelt dedication.
Despair at 16, and a train ticket to Seoul: A glimmer of hope.
Grand Master Park Mi-hee's life wasn't easy from the start.
At the young age of 16, her family was scattered due to her father's business failure, and she headed to Seoul alone to make a living. Her first job was at a textile factory in Seoul, with a monthly wage of only 39,000 won.
However, she diligently worked as the 'meal person', responsible for the meals of 20 people.
This experience later became the cornerstone of her 'food life'.
Rather than blaming the trials of life, her attitude of doing her best in what 'needed to be done' brought about the miracle that followed.
From Housekeeper at the Late Chairman Kim Woo-jung's Residence to 'God of Housekeeping'.
In the year she turned 19, Park Mi-hee began working as a housekeeper at the residence of the late Kim Woo-jung, chairman of Daewoo Group, who led the Korean economy. Taking care of everything from cleaning and cooking to household chores, she was recognized as a 'trustworthy hand' for her meticulousness and responsibility.
Just two years later, at the age of 21, she was selected as the head of household affairs at the residence of the president of Ssangbangwool Construction, showcasing her talent to the point of being called the 'God of Housekeeping'.
Her career, which started as a housekeeper, was more than just a job; it was a ladder of success built on 'trust' and 'diligence'.
'Kimchi or Tteok!' Kimchi Master's skills that even made Seo Jang-hoon nervous.
This broadcast also reveals the secret kimchi-making process of Park Mi-hee.
The MCs Seo Jang-hoon and announcer Jang Ye-won directly challenged themselves to making kimchi, but it wasn't easy to pass the master's discerning eye.
In particular, Seo Jang-hoon seriously engaged, even wearing an apron and cooking gloves.
Park Master caused laughter with the cry, "Kimchi or Tteok!".
The scene was filled with laughter, but within it was her philosophy.
"Food must be honest with your hands. If you do it carelessly once, that taste will never come back."
As she said, kimchi was not just a side dish but a 'result of sincerity and heart'.
The 'Drama of Miracles' Continues.
Park Mi-hee's life, from housekeeper to kimchi master and CEO of 47.8 billion won in annual sales,
is more dramatic than a movie.
When asked about the secret to her success, she said calmly, "The times I've lived honestly with my fingertips have ultimately brought me here."
She proved that what's more important than a glamorous spotlight are the times she's silently endured each day.
From 'Meal Person' to 'Kimchi Queen', her journey conveys a deep message to all of us to 'do our best in today's position'.
