A house with a nice view facing the foot of Mt. Songnisan. From spring to autumn, flowers bloom constantly, and the garden that is good for barefoot walking is like a green carpet. Barley trees, plums, blueberries, strawberries, etc. are full of fruits when you reach out, and crops and grass grow in the field. The owners of this special house are Jeong Ho-jin (72) and Park Mi-hyang (59).

He lived as a professor who taught theology as a farmer and as an NGO activist who flew to India and Malawi, Africa, to dig wells and teach farming. After returning to Korea, he returned to farming in Sangju five years ago. Hojin says, "All lives are precious". It protects the soil with grass instead of vinyl, and does not use a cultivator in large fields, and is building life agriculture with a waste of a grass.

Next to him is Mihyang, a spring-like wife who has been with him for 23 years. When her husband conveys his life living together on the land, Mihyang sets up a rich table as a result of farming. While he is a simple farmer who wears a worn outerwear with a denim tape for the environment, his wife has a colorful appearance that stands out everywhere.




In fact, six years ago Mihyang found a heart-throbbing dream. That's the model's path. From Sangju to Seoul, the way to and from school is far away and he carries a heavy luggage, but Mihyang shines more than ever on the runway.

A couple who look different but resemble each other. As usual, the wife goes on stage at a fancy fashion show, and the husband develops a philosophy of life that saves soil and grass.

# The Shining Summer of Farmers and Models




Years have passed, but when I see my wife, the farmer is excited like spring. The model wife respects her husband, who has a philosophy of life like a straight tree. On the day of harvesting plums with enlarged grains, Hojin rides a plum tree, and Mihyang diligently picks up plums under them. His son Hansol came, who felt happy just by looking at him. The son "Father, what did you like about it?," he asks a playful question. Mihyang is still a bright husband even though she has gray hair in her eyes.

In fact, they met at a lecture hall 23 years ago and remarried. He left for India with his three children to work as an NGO, and in that time, he firmly followed the name 'family'.

The best thing about my daughter and son-in-law who have lived abroad for a long time coming to Sangju is, mother-in-law




He is happy while walking through the beautiful garden with his white-haired son-in-law. When the long-awaited raindrops fall, the house is revitalized, and the farmer's face also blooms with laughter.

Ho-jin engraves the couple's name on the tree. 'Model Park Mi-hyang, farmer Jung Ho-jin' Place the plaques engraved side by side at the gate. The farmer who nurtures life, the model who shines on the stage, goes in the same direction of life today. Hot and green.
