In celebration of Chuseok, the nation's greatest holiday, a meaningful documentary will arrive, highlighting the sweat of a farming family who has protected a hundred-year heritage with the sincerity of their fingertips in step with the time of nature, and the value of national agricultural heritage. The KBS Network Special Chuseok Special 'Three Generations of Goji Farmers' (Directed by Ko Ha-neul and Kim In-gu, Written by Hwang Hee-seon) will be broadcast nationwide on KBS 1TV on Saturday, September 26, at 1:05 PM. Actress Han Hye-jin, who provides deep resonance with her uniquely warm and sincere voice, participates as the narrator to vividly convey the abundant fruits of the autumn fields and the pride of a family business continuing through three generations.

”Machines cannot imitate it”… The sincerity of a craftsman completed through 100% manual labor

Cheongyang Goji Berry is a concentration of precise labor that machines cannot replace. From the pruning process of thinning out dense branches to the harvesting of selecting and picking each delicate fruit, the entire process is carried out solely through 100% manual labor by farmers. This farming method, which has produced red berries only through human touch, shows the essence of the Nationally Important Agricultural Heritage System as a wise survival method of ancestors and a crystallization of craftsmanship that has protected the soil with a single fingertip.

The goji berry field is not just a place to grow crops, but a learning ground where generations and lives meet. The vibrant challenge of Jae-woo's three generations, who has firmly taken root as a young farmer using the deep experience of the first-generation elder and the dedication of the parent generation as a compass, and the warm daily life of an elderly couple and their grandson who fill the field ridges with respect and love for each other despite bickering, will warmly color the wide fields of Cheongyang. Even if the way they pass down the lineage and the texture of life are different, the story of two families tightly woven together by a single red fruit called 'goji berry' will present a gentle emotion to viewers.

The modern meaning of continuing the 'ecological and community heritage' amidst the disappearing rural crisis

Even amidst the warnings of climate crisis, rural aging, and extinction, the goji berry fields of Cheongyang are still breathing green. The eco-friendly ecological farming method that does not harm the vitality of the soil, and the village community culture of helping each other through 'pumasi' (mutual aid) during busy harvest seasons, present an answer to the 'sustainable future' that modern society has lost. The journey of three generations, which continues the pulse of the family business by adding the new challenges of young farmers instead of staying stuck in old farming methods, proves that this old agricultural heritage is not a fossilized past but a 'living present and future.'

The spectacle of the goji berry fields, where berries ripen red while holding the clear wind and autumn sunlight of Chilgapsan Mountain, provides viewers with a rich autumn atmosphere and comfortable rest. Here, the voice of actress Han Hye-jin, who possesses delicate emotional lines and warm delivery, is added to capture the fruits of the harvest blooming at the tips of rough knuckles as a piece of lyrical family poetry.

The KBS Network Special Chuseok Special Documentary 'Three Generations of Goji Farmers' will be broadcast on KBS 1TV on Saturday, September 26, 2026, at 1:05 PM.
