(The hot place for designs)
(Korea's landmark DDP)
(Dongdaemun Design Plaza, Jung-gu, Seoul)
(127th class at the foreigner school)
This is My Neighbor, Charles
where we meet foreigners living in Korea.
- How have you been? / - I've been good.
Today is the last Tuesday of August.
It's almost the end
but it's still hot.
It's hotter than Greece, right?
It's more humid than it is in Greece.
Wow, humid.
Seeing a foreigner use that word...
Sayuri, you don't know that word, do you?
I do know. Both Japan and Korea are humid.
- I see. / - I should study more.
- We use that word a lot. / - I should study.
Sayuri gets tested all the time.
- Give a little more effort. / - I can do it!
Today's guest says
the ocean is the house and the waves are the blanket.
Doesn't that sound so romantic?
Sounds so nice.
The mermaid from Poland.
Let's invite Lydia.
Come on in.
(Welcome to My Neighbor, Charles)
Hello.
- So cool. / - Wow.
Welcome.
Hello, I'm Lydia from Poland.
Nice to meet you.
Hello, I'm Lydia's boyfriend, Gwon Gihwan.
Are you Korean?
It happens a lot at the airport.
They say thank you in Korean to Korean people
and they talk to me in English.
- Very exotic. / - Yes.
I went to Poland recently for a shoot.
There's a legend about a mermaid in Poland.
Right, Lydia?
Yes, we have a legend about the Mermaid of Warsaw
The name Warsaw, which is the capital city of Poland
came from this legend.
It's a legend about a dragon and the king
who killed the dragon and rescued the mermaid.
It's kind of the symbol of Warsaw.
Then, are you the descendent of the mermaid?
Thank you.
How did the two of you meet?
We met in Egypt.
Egypt is the perfect place for kitesurfing.
When I was there,
Lydia came to Egypt with her friends for holiday.
That's when we first met.
He was one of the best kiteboarders there.
But he looked so young that
it didn't even occur to me that I could be attracted to him.
He looked really young, like 22, 23 years old.
And I talked to friends I met there
and they said he's actually older.
And I thought there's some chance.
I went back to England, where I lived at that time
and then slowly we started dating.
It took some time.
Lydia had a job in England
but you gave all of that up
and went to Jeju-do to be with your boyfriend.
How is that possible? I know you love surfing but...
Well, it must be love.
I really want to see them kitesurfing.
Let's take a close look at
Lydia's life in Jeju-do.
(My Neighbor, Charles)
(Welcome to Jeju-do)
(Jeju Special Administrative Province)
Jeju-do, an island with nice breeze and clear waters.
These two have settled on this beautiful island.
(Half asleep)
Lydia wakes up at 6 in the morning every day.
She starts her day, looking very relaxed.
(Morning coffee to wake them up)
There must be some wind to go out to the sea
so they check the wind first thing in the morning.
I will take Soju out for a walk.
Okay.
Look at the tail.
They came just right outside of their house...
But the trail looks amazing.
Soju, are you hot?
It's okay. Just a bit more.
(Excited)
It's a precious spot she found while living in Jeju.
It's Lydia's secret spot where
she comes to reflect on her life in an unfamiliar land.
I'm thinking about my life in Jeju.
Sometimes when it's difficult,
I come here and stay for an hour, half an hour.
It's my place for meditation.
My Zen garden.
It's time to go to work.
Lydia helps her boyfriend who is
running a kitesurfing center.
Our car is so small to put everything in.
Every condition has to be met in order to
go out to the sea for kitesurfing.
There must be plenty of wind.
They are on their way to work.
The view is amazing.
The place with plenty of wind,
is the location for kitesurfing for the day.
Wait.
They put up a flag to find out the direction
and power of the wind.
Then they assemble the boards,
put air into the kites
and untie the rope which is over 30m long.
Finally, the preparations for the lessons are finished.
(Finally, ready for kitesurfing lessons)
Okay, let's go.
There's wind.
Lydia teaches how to surf to this female student.
Her fashion stands out so much.
She shows of her skills just like her fashion.
The water will keep coming in.
You can surf here later on.
(Very eager)
It's his fifth day of learning to surf.
He seems very eager.
Kitesurfing was developed to
enjoy surfing even when there are no waves.
Riding the wind and cleaving the water...
When can I see it?
Let go of the bar right now.
Then wait. The kite will turn.
He just listens through the radio
and do as Gihwan says.
This time, it's a total newbie surfer.
It's hard to even control the kite.
(Am I controlling the kite?)
(Or the kite controlling me?)
Okay, walk back.
If you wait, the kite will come back.
If you wait, the kite will come back.
(Please come back, kite...)
He teaches one by one like teaching a baby to walk.
(Good job, today)
(What do you know about surfing?)
We just had a glimpse of kitesurfing.
Let's enjoy it now!
Kitesurfing is the combination of surfing
and paragliding, which uses the wind.
Controlling the kite flying in the sky
and standing on the surfboard,
they glide through the water.
(Excitement from cleaving the water)
The feeling of freedom and thrill
from gliding through the sky and the sea!
(Thrilling and exhilarating)
(The two are free like the wind)
The two enjoyed their youths freely like the wind.
Where did they meet and became lovers?
Lydia was working in England.
She met her lover in Egypt,
where she went for vacation.
She had a stable life with a good salary
but she yearned for freedom.
It's been 5 years since she met her boyfriend.
After a long journey, she finally settled in Jeju.
(After the lesson)
I need to put the board back.
Gihwan always leaves everything on the beach.
He's a very difficult man.
Wow, it's a haenyeo!
I like the haenyeo.
Until I've actually seen them,
I thought they would be grumpy.
But I think they are strong and funny.
Hello, ma'am.
Hello.
What are you doing?
The people of Jeju are very generous.
Oh, this?
Kimchi stew? Bean paste stew?
Yes. Are you going to make bean paste stew?
Yes. Bean paste stew is good.
- I will give you some. / - Oh, really?
(She's very generous)
Thank you.
That's not enough.
- Thank you. / - A bit more.
It will taste really good.
Really?
- Thank you. / - A bit more.
It's going to be a big stew!
Enjoy the stew.
Thank you so much.
(Plentiful)
Thank you, ma'am.
I cook Korean food for Gihwan.
He's a traditional Korean man.
He likes soup and
we always have meat dishes at home.
This house in front of the ocean is their first house.
They visit their old house
when they come to this area for surfing.
Wait, what happened here?
It's a total mess that I can't believe
they actually lived there.
Last year, they settled in Jeju in May
with not much to start with.
They renovated an abandoned vinyl greenhouse
and made it their own.
(They began with nothing)
Because we came to Korea last year,
we didn't know anything.
We didn't know where to stay and we didn't
have enough money to rent the house and pay deposit.
Sometimes I felt like I was a gypsy.
I felt like people were laughing at me
as I lived in a place without a toilet.
Sometime I thought people would think I'm crazy.
I trusted Gihwan.
"Okay, we can make it."
Not enough money, and what others thought
didn't matter to them.
But something else made them fall in despair.
We used to live here.
- You were holding the door here. / - Yes, like this.
Everything was flying.
And I kept saying, "We are going die here!"
I was really scared.
(In October 2016, Typhoon Chaba hit Jeju)
Last October, Typhoon Chaba hit Jeju.
It was the third strongest typhoon
that has ever hit Korea.
It crumbled down their house, which they put
so much effort in, in just a second.
Within 10 minutes, it just turned into trash.
We just came to Jeju to start something
and done all this work,
then suddenly everything got destroyed.
I think it made us stronger.
We started again and now it's better.
After the hardship, the two of them got closer.
Thank you for the food.
(Yum)
They are having a meal with
people they acquainted with in Jeju.
Lydia learned to escape the heat
by having health foods.
She has duck and even ginseng.
She has the palate of a Korean person.
(It's so good)
I like it.
It's delicious.
- Lydia, this one. / - Want me to try?
Is it very spicy?
Is this mixed scallion?
- It's chive kimchi. / - Chive kimchi?
(Tries it right away)
It's not spicy.
Which one is spicy?
This is more spicy. Try.
(Pickled pepper)
This time, it's pickled pepper
with pepper paste on it.
(So brave)
This is more spicy, but I can eat it.
It's getting you, right?
But I can't eat the whole thing.
Mr. Typhoon, only Korean from now on.
No English.
(Nodding)
- Lydia, you want to speak Korean? / - Speak Korean.
- Okay. / - Okay?
- Okay. / - Isn't it, yes?
No one can't keep up with Lydia
who tries her best.
(That night)
They could be brave and settle in Jeju
thanks to their family-like friend's suggestion,
who they knew since they lived abroad.
I met Gihwan when he was 19.
But now he's over 40.
I want you guys to begin a new chapter in your lives.
What I want to say is that you should
think about what to do when you get older.
Are you happy?
- I'm happy. / - Me too.
When I was Gihwan's age,
I didn't care about this either.
But now that I think about it,
I wish I had prepared more in advance.
So I have regrets.
That's what I want to tell you.
Also... Do you understand?
Yes, I do.
We love you, Mr. Typhoon.
(A difficult man)
When there's no wind,
Lydia has tons of chores to do.
Oh, no. Don't do that there.
It's Lydia's job to sweep the floor.
Never-ending story.
She can't help but sigh.
Socks always go missing.
These two are different.
(No thoughts)
Gihwan...
Lydia goes to prepare dinner
but Gihwan just stays sitting in the living room.
Bang!
High-five!
Even the dog knows what's going on.
I have no break.
I have do days off.
I get my days off when there's no wind.
When I try to do something, Lydia tells me to rest.
And she does everything.
That's why.
She makes bean paste stew for dinner.
Let's check out Lydia's cooking skills.
Kimchi stew is no problem for her.
Grilled hairtail and even bulgogi.
A traditional Polish dish and
home-made pizza.
She's an international cook!
Gihwan is a very good cook.
He used to make rolled eggs, rice rolls
and other Korean dishes.
But since I learned to cook Korean food,
he doesn't cook anymore.
I made a mistake by learning to make Korean food.
They have Korean food every meal.
Isn't this a perfect home-made meal?
Why?
It's real bean paste stew.
It's really, really a stew.
A total bean paste stew.
Are you complaining that I put too much sugar?
I need some more rice.
- Too salty? / - But it tastes good. Very good.
He tries other side dishes.
He expresses the taste with his face.
Why? Too salty?
Everything is too salty today?
What happened today?
Do you know why I put a lot of salt?
I don't know. Why?
In Poland, if somebody uses a lot of salt
it means they are really in love.
(I see..)
(Just let him starve)
(That night)
The salty dinner has finished.
Are you going to make cucumber kimchi?
What a rare sight.
That's not how you make cucumber kimchi.
What are you doing?
I think this is enough.
Lydia, it's for your face.
You are too tanned.
Oh, my god. You made some face mask for me?
In Korea, you can buy face masks.
- You made a natural one? / - Natural is better.
Oh, it's cold.
It's nice.
It's so nice.
He's a bit brusque but you can feel his heart.
With his kind and caring heart,
he stole Lydia's heart.
Maybe he doesn't show it,
so many people can think he's brusque.
He has this another side that people don't know
and I'm very happy to know this side.
He's not so sweet but he's very sincere.
He doesn't end it sweetly either.
(As if sweeping dead leaves)
I think you have to make this for me every day.
Cucumbers are very expensive.
(Ridiculous)
Gihwan makes a joke right away.
That must be his charm.
Soju.
Soju, mom is very beautiful now.
(You're acting weird today)
The island with beautiful ocean.
Jeju-do is very windy
so it's a perfect place for kitesurfing.
Today, instead of having a lesson,
Gihwan checks the new kite that will be released.
They told me they'll get a nice hotel
in a warm place with plenty of wind
to test this kite.
But I can't leave Jeju right now
so I said I'd do it here.
Jeju-do is actually a really nice place to test the kite.
The company saved some money I guess.
Gihwan is a product developer
at a world-renowned kitesurfing company.
(A test for a new product that will be released in 2019)
(From the kite design)
He participated in the kite design
and he tests the kite for function and safety
for two years to improve any problems.
(The actual test begins)
This is how a new product is made.
You can fly over 10m depending on
the wind speed.
You have to be able to control the kite
and surf well in order to kitesurf.
Kitesurfing began in 1990s in Europe
and in Hawaii.
Now, it's a popular leisure sport in other countries.
He loved kitesurfing so much that since in his 20s,
he went around the ocean all around the globe
and became the best surfer.
He has this mindset of a Korean engineer.
So the company likes him.
He pays attention to the details.
He's doing a good job with this.
That's why they trust him.
(No place for me)
Hello.
It's a big dinner day for the surfing members.
Let me introduce my students.
My first student.
They began with only 5 members last year
but now they have 35 members.
Gihwan is excited to introduce them
but Lydia seems out of place.
Lydia, introduce yourself as well.
Self-introduction!
- Lydia, in Korean. / - In Korean?
Oh, no...
Hello.
I'm Lydia from Poland.
Thank you for your warm welcome. Thanks a lot.
Things are getting more fun and louder,
but this one person feels out of place.
Sometimes I want to ask something
but she doesn't understand Korean
and I can't speak English.
So we can't communicate.
I want to talk to her.
So I felt like I had no choice but to learn English.
It's good to learn English.
She's curious what is going on.
What is he saying?
(I don't know where to start)
It's very difficult to explain
because we've already finished that conversation.
Sorry.
The point is that you have to learn Korean.
Goodness.
You have to learn Korea to survive in Korea. Okay?
Let's learn Korean. Okay?
(Pressured)
It should be a fun event
but Lydia came home with a heavy heart.
Things don't seem good in the house.
(What's going on?)
Why don't you translate anything to me
when we are talking to other people?
I feel like I'm a baby.
Everybody was laughing and clapping hands
and having fun but I felt very sad.
How can I translate to you
when I'm talking to them?
It doesn't matter. You can talk to me in Korean.
And you can include me in the conversation.
Okay. I will try more.
Lydia speaks 6 languages including
Polish, English, German and Russian.
Gihwan has finally noticed the loneliness
Lydia must have felt because she doesn't know Korean.
- Lydia. / - Yes.
Maybe, do you want to go to a language school?
Okay, I can try.
Let's see if I can understand something.
Wouldn't it too far?
It's in the city. Do you think you can drive?
I can take the bus.
I decided to live in Korea
and I'm so dependent on you right now.
If I take the bus and ask directions by myself,
I think I will learn faster.
Okay.
I'm okay. I'm okay.
(Let's face it)
(See you later)
Strike the iron while it is hot.
She takes the bus without her boyfriend
for the first time to go to the city.
She doesn't hesitate.
(She gets on the bus)
She studied Korean by herself online
but it's really hard to learn hangul.
Hangul.
She says it's very easy.
But she's a liar.
It's very difficult.
Lydia continues to study
as she's worried about the Korean class.
You will miss the bus stop.
Good-bye.
Fortunately, she got off at the right stop.
(Jeju Special Administrative Province)
Hello.
Hello.
Enjoying her life in Korea,
she didn't have time to learn Korean.
If you want, you can just join the class
and see if you can understand anything.
Okay, I would like that.
She finally has the time to
settle and challenge herself.
(So many foreigners in the class)
We have a new classmate!
She's from Poland.
- Hello. / - Hello.
My name is Lydia and I'm from Poland.
I can't speak Korean. That's why I'm here.
Reading is very difficult for Lydia.
Would you like to come to my house?
Please read, Lemonie.
Hongmae, when do you have time?
Can you read it?
Lydia got chosen right away.
Can you read it?
Monday...
On Wednesday... Huh?
- We have. / - We have.
- Korean. / - Korean.
- Class./ - Class.
I'm going to my parents-in-law's place on weekend.
I'm going to my parents-in-law's place on weekend.
Are you busy on Friday?
Yes, sure.
Good. Good job.
(Gained confidence)
(Studying numbers)
4.
6, 7, 8, 10. Oh, 9.
How do you read this, Lydia?
One, fifteen.
Oh, twenty five.
Twenty five.
I want to come as much as possible. It's really good.
I really enjoyed it and sitting with you
I think soon, he will be worried
because I will understand Korean.
Right, right.
After gaining confidence,
Lydia came to the market.
(Grocery shopping on her own)
No hairtail?
Hairtail.
- Hello. / - Hello.
Two hairtail, please.
Small ones.
Wow, they seem so fresh.
How are you going to cook it? Hard-boil or grill?
Hard-boiled hairtail.
- You can make hard-boiled hairtail? / - Yes.
Do you know how to make it?
- How to make it delicious. / - Thank you.
You are so pretty.
- Me? / - So pretty.
Thank you.
So pretty.
- Are you a Jeju local? / - Yes.
- Really? / - Yes.
It's Jeju-do.
- Good-bye. / - Good-bye.
Good-bye.
(Crowded)
I've never tried this before. I think it's famous.
There are so many people all the time.
So I want to try.
Thank you.
♪ There's octopus bread at the market. ♪
It's fun to try out foods at the market.
- It's good. / - Right?
Where are you from?
- Poland. / - Poland?
I think of gum when I think of Poland.
How long has it been since you came here?
- 2 years. / - 2 years?
You are a newbie.
I can understand but I can't speak.
You are good.
I hope Lydia's life in Jeju is always like today.
Lydia is still outside.
I didn't want to take this out...
I have to take it out.
Gihwan doesn't move when he comes home.
But what is he doing under the scorching sun?
What about my furniture?
(Checking the weather)
Why? It's not raining.
The wood needs to be more dry. It's still wet.
I will make it tomorrow.
Every day, wood needs to be drier.
I want to put coffee, flowers and cups there
and make coffee there.
I will be happy.
Can you make some coffee?
Coffee is wet.
It needs to be dry.
I think I can do it tomorrow.
He's going to make it anyway, but he never says yes.
He never shows his thoughts.
What a manly man.
(Sweating without his girlfriend knowing)
He's sweating just for Lydia.
He's pretty cool.
(I made this for you)
Lydia. It's finished. Done.
- My coffee station is ready? / - Yes.
Nice. It's vintage-style. I like it.
Everything is made by Gihwan.
I only had a backpack and a few clothes.
But since last year, things are increasing.
People with a house and who settled there,
gather their things there
and display them. That's how things begin to increase.
As our things also increase one by one,
I feel very happy.
Some were envious of their nomadic life
but they longed for a stable life.
Gihwan. It's so nice.
Can you make more?
Thank you, honey.
They are happy to see
their house get filled with little things.
(Lovey-dovey)
(Lydia is strong)
You are crazy. Once more time?
You need great stamina
to control both the kite and the board on water.
(Boyfriend's training session)
- I think I'm going to fall. / - No.
If you don't have strong shoulders, you'll get injured.
So we have to train to get strong shoulders.
I will break the mirror.
Smoothly.
Like you're dancing.
She was hanging in there
but he has so many requests.
Show me you dance.
Smooth like dancing?
Gihwan confidently demonstrates.
It's not as easy as you said, right?
Goodness.
Lydia has been exercising regularly
as kitesurfing requires focus and stamina.
Why is Gihwan being so tough today?
Why are you being so harsh today?
Today, it's extremely hard.
We have a competition.
Yes. But I think I'm strong enough.
This competition is like...
Umm...
This time, there are no female competitors
so you have to compete with men.
What?
Lydia, you can do it.
I think you are joking.
No. I'm serious.
You can do it. Don't worry.
Try. That's why we have to train harder.
Kitesurfing isn't well-known so
there are many hidden competitors.
Lydia wants to show something.
(The day of the competition)
Finally, it's the day of the competition.
From managing the competition to judging...
Gihwan is busy doing everything by himself.
I don't think I can win against Lydia.
(The competition begins)
You have to show your skills in five minutes.
Not just turning and jumping,
the competitors show off their various skills in the air.
(The landing wasn't good)
They have to land well for a better score.
The competitors are getting their points deducted.
Lydia is anxiously waiting for her turn.
Gihwan pretends he's okay.
- I can do it! / - You can do it!
Hurray!
Lydia, Lydia, wow!
Don't go easy on Lydia!
She began kitesurfing while
she was working in England.
She shows her skills of 9 years.
(Wow, wow)
She goes very high
but she has to stay for a long time in the air.
What a great turn.
Her landing was a little unstable
but she gets her balance and glides again.
(She's good)
Lydia showed her great skills
as the only female competitor.
(The competition is finished)
It was too short. I wanted to continue
but you blew the whistle.
It's five minutes.
It wasn't really good but
I think I did good after a long break. So I'm happy.
The preliminary in Jeju for the real competition
in September. What's the result?
3rd place.
Bang Sanghyeok.
- Sanghyeok. / - Thank you.
The 2nd place goes to Hantae.
Where's Hantae.
(Only the first and last place haven't been called)
Our champion is...
A woman.
Lydia!
Her efforts paid off.
It's a small competition
but she won against men.
(1st place in men's division)
Lydia is a strong woman who's good at everything.
Congratulations!
(Settling down)
They're going to do something they've been putting off.
Isn't that your first house?
You can see what the typhoon has done.
They left the place for a year
so it has turned into a dump
as people threw away trash here.
Now, they've gotten stronger to look at this mess.
Watch out for the glass.
It's like when we first came here.
Yes. Very dirty.
We cleaned like this for a few days.
Lydia, the coffee station I made...
It's from this wood.
It's historical. It makes you sentimental.
It could've been easier to leave Jeju
than stay in Jeju.
But they didn't give up
and everything became a memory now.
Gihwan, do you remember?
I can see the sky.
(Right)
Now it's funny. I'm laughing now.
But I cried then.
When they were hit by a typhoon
they overcame the trouble, leaning onto each other.
They never knew they would find happiness again.
(The lovers encouraged each other)
Don't do that.
They gained strength that even if
they face another obstacle, they can overcome it.
It actually gave us the strength to hang in there.
"What can happen more?"
We've already made, built and lost it.
We can do anything. Anything is possible
if you just go for it.
It didn't make me want to leave Korea
it made me want to prove that
we can make it again, and even better.
The wind in the heart has stopped
but they are still living a life of travels.
Are you happy?
Yes.
Are you happy in Jeju?
It's a beautiful life that
they don't even want to think about leaving.
(A family of three)
Do you think we will be in Jeju, 10 year later?
Of course.
What we will be doing in 10 years' time?
I think 10 years later, we will have 5,000 members.
I hope so.
I think it's good we came to Jeju.
Sometimes it's difficult for me
but it's easier for you.
You have your own country, food, people, language
and culture.
- For me it's a bit hard sometimes. / - I know.
But I'm trying my best
and I think adapt easier than other people.
So I can make it.
Okay. Good.
But you have to teach me Korean.
- Okay. / - Okay, honey.
We will wish that your beautiful life
continues in Jeju!
(My Neighbor, Charles)
Wow, it was so cool.
I'm so envious.
I want to live like them.
How does it feel to feel the
waves and the wind in the air?
It's amazing.
Until you try it, it's very difficult to understand.
It's the most rewarding feeling I've ever had
with any sports.
At first, when you look at the kite,
it's intimidating.
And you think you can't do it.
And then you realize, as you learn,
it's easier than you think.
Once you get your first riding,
it's the most amazing feeling.
To master the wind and water...
It's the most thrilling feeling I've ever had.
(I want to try)
You started your life in Korea in Jeju.
What was unfamiliar and difficult?
Probably, the most difficult part is
no knowing the language.
Especially, the Jeju dialect.
Even we can't understand that.
When you go there, the word welcome.
I didn't know what it meant.
Welcome. They say it differently
Welcome.
Yes. It's so difficult.
Lydia is living that kind of life.
She's not traveling.
She must have some concerns.
(I want to settle down)
She wants to settle down.
How many countries have you been to?
- About 50. / - What about you, Lydia?
Maybe about 50.
- Well. / - Wow.
Along the wind, following the waters...
If you live with a man like that,
it's hard to settle down.
I've been traveling for so long
that I always missed Korea.
- I see. / - Yes.
I missed Korean food
and Korean TV shows
Even just listening to Korean was so nice.
They say you don't know what's under your nose.
I never went to Jeju
and just went abroad.
So I came to Jeju and it was so nice for kitesurfing.
I went to so many places but
the ocean of Jeju is so beautiful and
there's a lot of wind. So I want to settle down there.
But Gihwan is Korean
so you came to your own country.
But Lydia is still at a foreign country.
Aren't your parents worried?
- Right. / - Parents are always worried.
Yes, of course. My mom is very worried.
My dad passed away 10 years ago.
My mom is alone, so she's even more worried
as I'm so far away.
And every time I visit her once or twice a year
she's always, "Why do you have to be so far?
Is there no place to kitesurf near here?"
But of course, I follow Gihwan.
He has decided to stay in Jeju.
He wants to be successful here
so I decided to support him 100%.
Is it okay for me to ask this?
What about marriage? You dated for 7 years.
- Right. / - Don't you want to get married?
I think you should ask him?
There are many reasons why I came to Jeju.
One of them is to settle down
and propose to her at the right time.
When is the perfect time?
- You have to get ready. / - Yes, financially.
Yes.
And I came to Jeju last year.
We didn't have money that we saved up.
With how much did you begin?
We had $8,000 in total.
- In Jeju? / - Yes, $8,000.
He has no sense of reality.
I was craving Korean food and I came to Jeju.
There are so much delicious food.
You spend about $200 at a raw fish restaurant.
Yes, that's why we ran out of money very quickly.
Also it's uncomfortable to move without a car
with all the kitesurfing equipment.
So we bought a car for $1,500.
It's still good.
The house and money...
You came trusting Gihwan, but were you anxious at all?
Living in Korea...
We came with very small money we had.
So it was very difficult to
get things, rent a house and buy a car.
Everything is expensive to live our lives.
But I think we've already made the decision.
We wanted to try and we are working hard
so I think it will all pay off.
I believe in this. We are trying.
I want to ask this question.
What you are doing in Jeju, teaching kitesurfing...
Isn't the income very unstable?
- Yes, it's still tough. / - Right?
- They just started. / - Yes.
So we have to make this bigger.
Yangyang in Gangwon-do is a popular place for surfing.
You can make Jeju as the mecca for kitesurfing.
Yes, true.
- Right? / - Yes.
You can do your job when that time comes.
Yes. I should try.
Lydia will have to play a big part.
Saying a mermaid from Poland
will teach kitesurfing.
Setting up the courses along the Olle Trail.
With a trident.
Say welcome.
Left, right. Don't do that.
Yes.
I'm a real businessman.
What about opening a kitesurfing club?
And next to the clubhouse,
Lydia can open up a Polish restaurant.
Cool.
It will be the one and only Polish restaurant in Jeju.
I will go to Jeju and see.
- Can I use your face as advertisement? / - Yes.
With your girlfriend who loves Korea
and your surfing center...
I think you have bright future ahead of you.
Tell your girlfriend about your determination.
(Flustered)
It wasn't on script.
(We got you)
We don't go by the script.
It's our choice.
I should've thought in advance.
Lydia, thank you for coming to Korea, trusting me.
Let's be happy together.
Okay.
We had a really nice time
listening to their wind-like stories.
We hope your surfing center in Jeju does well.
Also, we hope to see your relationship
get deeper and stronger.
We will cheer for you.
- Thank you for coming today. / - Thank you.
That's it for today.
- Good-bye. / - Good-bye!
Nice to meet you.
- Bye-bye/ - Bye. Thank you.
We will visit you.
Bye.
