Even after reaching retirement age, Jeong Hyo-seon, a 69-year-old year of the pig, still feels somewhat bitter. She is currently looking for her fourth job after retirement. Hello, I came to take a photo. It's for identification. I only brought the things I cherish the most because my resume photo is poor quality, she said. Wearing a stylish striped shirt and looking a year younger in a pink tie, she mentioned, Taking photos makes me feel cool. They say you start to look old when you dress up nicely. When I dress like this, I still look presentable. She used to wear a tie every day except on days off, but her wish was to wear a tile. Now that she always wears a tie, it gives her a different feeling. Yes, now I hope to have something to do every day. I'll go to the temple for a little bit. Will you count with me? One, two, isn't that right? It's okay, look. One, two. The dream of her father, who worked in a suit for 32 years, is still ongoing.

[Music] Could you take a look at the photo? Oh, do you like it? Yes, I like it. Well, what part do you think came out well? Hmm, I think the overall atmosphere is nice. How about comparing it with the photo you took four years ago? It seems like I've aged a bit. Yes, thank you. Please send it to my email. Yes, thank you. Goodbye. Hello. How long has it been since you retired? It's been six years. I retired as a senior manager at a large company. After retiring, I took about six months off and then worked for a year as a contract worker at a social enterprise. Since then, I haven't been able to secure contract positions, so I've been doing temporary jobs. Today is a special day. At this age, opportunities are not easily given. I came for an interview. Welcome. Mr. Jung Hyo, your age doesn't overshadow your experience and capabilities. Before retiring, I had never done physical labor, but now, even this opportunity cannot be missed. Gyeongbokgung Palace is hiring 37 night security guards.

When selecting, from the perspective of someone who uses two people, the title of a senior position at a large company is actually a burdensome part. Even though you are not widely known, you seem a bit nervous even though you are somewhat mature. Anyway, you need to prepare for the interview. Kim Ok-gyun, Park Young, Lee Kwang, and Kim Sung-kyu, please prepare for the interview. Due to the high competition, everyone seems very tense. One of the candidates, Hwang Eui-myeon, has a strong desire to work, comparable to the passion of youth. Before I go first today, I worked at a traffic signal near Dobong Station from April to December last year. I woke up at 4 a.m. and started working from 5 a.m. until 8:30 a.m. It was really nice at that time. I hope to have a lot of fulfilling experiences in Gyeongbuk this time as well. What should I ask? It's about 1 million won, right? Yes, that's fine.

If you try, well, it's not a big deal, but when you play, someone will go in and try to set up the maximum and enter the interview room. Hello, could you please submit your resume? Yes, Jeong Hyo-seon has previous experience in this job, but still, we cannot be optimistic about the results, so we need to be serious. People who have a sense of urgency or something like that, it might be a bit difficult because you need to be there for about 3.5 hours. Are there anyone who might find it difficult to stay in this kind of environment for a long time? No problem. No problem. Are you currently working? I'm not working at all. Not at all. I would like to ask if you have ever tried working in security services? Yes, I have done it a lot. There is a security guard certification for a year. If I do well in security, it means I have improved on my own, so the other party should compliment me.

It's my turn soon. Have you ever tried security work, Mr. Sun? I have experience working at Gyeongbokgung Palace. Yes, then it's Mr. Park Honam. Thank you. Yes, short and to the point. This is a good thing, right? When you retire, you receive a retirement allowance, a pension, and earn some pocket money, and even if you work a little after retirement, and if our family members also work a little, then it should be enough, right? So, I didn't really delve into the details of the amounts, I just thought vaguely that it would be okay. But when I faced reality, I realized that I was under a big misconception. My father's retirement is early, and the road for his children is still long. On June 17th, the night tour of Gyeongbokgung Palace started again at the workplace of Shi Jung Hyo-sun.

I met you. While others start work when people are leaving work, everyone is full of energy. However, it is a big regret that I can only work for two weeks. The audience is a priority, but if the audience touches cultural assets or shows actions that damage them, please actively intervene and manage them. Please take good care of it. Thank you. Mr. Kim Byeong, please come in, Ms. Jeong Hyo. The working hours are from 6:04 PM to 10:10 PM. If you work for two weeks like this, you will receive a slightly insufficient salary of 500,000 won. What kind of task are you in charge of today? I checked the tickets for the audience. It's not just a simple workplace here, it's a place that contains our history from the past. So, when I come to work at Gwanghwamun, I tidy up a bit, straighten up, and quickly check my appearance before entering.

Just like any other workplace, it feels a bit different from my usual job. Please grab this and pull it. Unlike the inside, where only a few people are watching, there are already thousands of people looking at you from the outside. You should go over there. Today is not going to be easy. Ms. Jeong-seon, who is working, is a completely different person from her eyes. She may seem flustered, but she handles it calmly. It's Sunday, so there are quite a lot of people. The night tour will begin in 30 minutes. Who wouldn't want to get in quickly at this moment? Thank you. Please come in quickly. Yes, come in together. Yes, thank you. No, it's okay. Thank you. Yes, thank you. Thank you. Yes, thank you. Well, two of them. Yes, thank you. Nice trip. Thank you. Yes, please come in. The gentleman, please take the heavy one. Yes, please come in. Thank you. Yes, thank you. Please come in. Oh, yes, thank you. Thank you. Yes, thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Only the night visitors who visited this day.

About 6,000 people were so busy that they didn't know what was going on. Those with tickets, please come quickly. You have 2 minutes left. Those with tickets, please come. Do you have tickets? Do you have tickets? Yes, come this way. Ladies, hold onto your skirts and come up. It's dangerous, so hold onto your skirts. Have you received your tickets? Yes, please enter. The entrance will be closed at 9 o'clock. Those with tickets, please come quickly. Everyone's time is precious. Finally, the heavy door closes. Now, I thought it would open, but this time, the audience is leaving. Hello. Today, Jeongseon was the face of Gyeongbokgung Palace. Hello. Have you taken many good photos? Yes, thank you. Isn't it natural to smile brightly, greet everyone, and do things like that? Everyone who comes in is a guest, but they are here to see the cultural heritage.

With a friendly smile, it's natural, right? It's natural, right? So, I'm drinking water little by little. There was no time to rest, but Jeongseon really likes this place. In the heart of Seoul, it's a gray city in Seoul, but when you come here, there are old palaces where kings used to live, many trees, and even a lake. The working environment is really great. Instead of working three and a half hours, I wish I could work 8 hours a day. Oh, it's a bit regretful. I can't work outside of three hours, so after a week, what kind of life will I have? For now, I work for two weeks and rest for two weeks, and then I plan to look for another part-time job. [MUSIC] Even though it's simple, being able to work every day is the biggest dream for Jeongseon right now. Last Friday, I was looking for a part-time job, and now I'm even considering becoming a security guard.

In this era where you need qualifications, we adapt to the times. Of course, it's not about seeking big money, and your body may not keep up with it. It's fun to study after a long time. Now, focus on the opponent's neck and bend your wrist as far inward as possible. If you bend it too much, will it actually be useful or not? No one really knows. It's just satisfying to have tried something. There's a bit more confidence than before. Because now, there's something to back up that qualification. Since you've received education, you can approach your job more confidently. You need to work hard from now on, starting from within. Son, daughter, father at this age has finally obtained a certificate. The father, who has worked all his life, still supports his son, who is striving hard.
