Golf legend Se-ri Pak had a meal decorated with sincere charcoal-grilled meat, along with anecdotes of the weary times she experienced while dreaming of entering the United States in the past.

"I couldn't get a plane ticket, so I drove for 18 hours"... The behind-the-scenes of Se-ri Pak's trip to the United States revealed

In the video, Se-ri Pak recalled the realistic difficulties she faced when deciding to go on the U.S. tour in the past. She revealed an anecdote where, ahead of the U.S. tour, she was invited to participate in a tournament before the professional test, but could not secure a plane ticket due to an insufficient bank balance. Explaining the situation at the time, Se-ri Pak said, "I was in a situation where I had to go by driving because I couldn't take a plane." She revealed the hardship of that time, stating that she drove for 18 hours without rest to arrive at the tournament venue, only to find it was already the day before the tournament. Mentioning the experience of having to drive 16 hours back after failing the preliminary round, she conveyed that the trip to the United States, which she chose for a bigger dream, was by no means smooth. Se-ri Pak added that although she did not get exhausted while driving for 18 hours at the time, she later developed a trauma regarding riding in cars for long periods.

Sweetness from apples and pears instead of sugar, the flavor of gochujang-grilled meat made by charcoal fire

The pork gochujang-grilled meat that appeared as the meal menu is characterized by the harmony of the charcoal fire's heat and natural ingredients. The restaurant owner revealed that they use apples and pears instead of sugar to provide the sweetness for the gochujang seasoning. The owner showed their persistence regarding the food, saying, "To bring out the natural sweetness with apples and pears, it costs about ten times more than sugar, but I cannot give it up." Through the know-how of creating powerful heat using three pieces of charcoal, they grilled the meat while infusing it with a smoky aroma even in an environment where gochujang seasoning is easy to burn. The meat is a cut mixed with front leg meat and pork jowl, where the moderate fat maximizes the smoky flavor of the charcoal fire. The beef entrails cabbage soup, provided as a service menu, implemented a clean taste without any unpleasant smell based on soybean paste. The owner explained that because they bring fresh entrails on days when cattle are slaughtered near the market every day, there is no unpleasant smell.

The grandmother's wish contained in the name "Shining Upon the World"

During the conversation, the meaning contained in Se-ri Pak's name was also introduced. Se-ri Pak mentioned that her name, 'Se-ri', holds a special meaning. The name 'Se-ri', given by her paternal grandmother, carries the meaning "Shining Upon the World." The process of establishing her position as a world-class golfer, as if following the wish contained in her name—to the extent that even those who did not know golf well in the past recognized Se-ri Pak's name after hearing it in an apartment—was melted into the flow of the video.
