Jung Ji-sun bursts into tears “I put my hand in the machine, got 30 stitches, and went back to work” (Sadanggwi)

Jung Ji-sun bursts into tears while filming KBS2‘s ‘The Boss’s Ears Are Donkey Ears’(hereafter ‘Sadanggwi’).

On the episode of ‘Sadanggwi’ that will air on the 23rd, Jung Ji-sun bursts into tears while talking about female owner chefs who are starting to receive recognition little by little in a culture dominated by male owner chefs.

On that day, when Chef Kim Hee-eun introduces that there are two or three female owner chefs around the same age as Jung Ji-sun, Jung Ji-sun says, “I‘m so jealous of that.” He continues, “Even after studying abroad, I couldn’t get a job. Almost all Chinese food was made by male chefs,” and confesses, “After I got a job, I came to work two hours early, got hit with a ladle in the kitchen, and I don‘t know how many times I got hit on the shoulder with a Chinese knife.” Then, she reveals, “I had to get 30 stitches because my hand went into the machine. But I was afraid I’d get fired, so I went around to the chefs and told them I‘d work for them,” which makes people feel sorry.

Ji-sun Jung then reveals, “When T&Mimi first opened, I intentionally didn’t say that I opened it because of discrimination and prejudice from my seniors in Chinese cuisine because I was a female owner-chef,” and sheds tears. Ji-sun Jung, recalling her memories of that time, gets a lump in her nose and says, “At that time, there were even seniors who said, ‘Let’s see how well you do,‘” and starts sobbing.

Hyun-moo Jeon is surprised and says, “This is the first time I’ve seen Ji-sun Jung cry,” and consoles her by saying, “They must be very embarrassed right now.” Myung-soo Park says, “You‘ve had a hard time. ”I won’t have a stomachache anymore,“ he promises, making everyone laugh.

Chef Jeong Ji-seon reveals, ”If I had colleagues, seniors, and a teacher to guide me at that time, I think I would have received help. I was so lonely,“ touching everyone. The confession of the female owner chef‘s difficult past revealed by Jeong Ji-seon will be revealed through the original broadcast of ‘Sadanggui’. Airs Sunday at 4:40 PM.
