Lee Chang Hoon shared the story of proposing a kimchi business to his mother, only to be rejected with "Then you do the work"

Broadcaster Lee Chang Hoon revealed an anecdote about how his attempt to commercialize his mother's cooking skills ended up looking like he was just dumping work on his child.

In a video released on the YouTube channel 'Dongchimi' on the 18th, the cast members conversed on the theme of children's concern for their parents' health and the conflicts that arise in that process. During this process, Lee Chang Hoon shared an anecdote related to his mother's cooking skills.

"I wanted to promote Mom's kimchi" He proposed a business, but the response he received was

Lee Chang Hoon recalled the time when his mother was responsible for the livelihood while raising one son and four daughters alone. He stated that because his mother's cooking skills were excellent, he proposed operating a kimchi factory to widely promote the taste of his mother's kimchi. At the time, Lee Chang Hoon said that since he had financial leeway, he made the proposal with the intention of helping his mother's work and giving her joy, but he received an unexpected answer from his mother.

In the video, Lee Chang Hoon explained, "My mother told me to do the work," and said that because his mother, who had suffered a myocardial infarction, would have to do the work herself if they started a kimchi business, he had no choice but to eventually withdraw the proposal. He also mentioned that he proposed a Dongchimi noodle business by inheriting his mother's kimchi taste, but could not put it into practice due to issues related to his mother's health condition.

"I don't want to be a burden to my children" Parents' health management and children's nagging

Following this, the cast members discussed how elderly parents either take excessive care of their health or, conversely, do not look after their health to avoid becoming a burden to their children. One participant mentioned how their father takes medicine himself to remain a reliable presence to his children, pointing out that managing a parent's health is ultimately a consideration for the children.

On the other hand, situations were shared where conflicts arise because children's actions—such as recommending exercise or diet out of concern for their parents' health—are felt as 'nagging' by the parents. The cast members empathized that the behavior of children requesting exercise verification shots or interfering with diets for the sake of their parents' health can sometimes cause disappointment to the parents.
