A spicy and sweet delicacy made with Korean melon: the 'Korean Melon Bibim-guksu' recipe suggested by Bora

Broadcaster Bora declared a "strike," expressing the difficulties she faces while running a side dish shop.

In a video from the KBS WORLD TV entertainment program 'Fun-Staurant,' Bora's current situation is shown, where she is in charge of operating one of the branches of the side dish shop run by her mother. In the video, Bora is performing her role as the owner of the Samho branch of the side dish shop, but she revealed that she is in a sort of "strike" state due to differences in opinion regarding the management method.

"I want to take the wheel"... Conflict caused by differences in management methods with her mother

Bora said in the video that she is currently not working at the shop due to differences in opinion with her mother (the owner). Bora mentioned that she contributed to the overall operation during the early stages of opening the shop, such as setting up supplies and equipment and organizing the warehouse, expressing her desire to have her work capabilities recognized. In particular, Bora expressed her desire to secure management leadership, saying, "I want to take the wheel." In response, the cast members continued the conversation by comparing Bora's situation—where she will continue the strike until her mother accepts her opinions—to a "family feud."

Bora expressed her wish for her mother to feel her absence, along with her intention to continue the strike until her mother accepts her opinions. The cast members also described Bora's frustrating feelings by comparing it to a situation where even if the mother turns on the navigation power, she keeps turning it off.

Summer appetite-stimulating 'Korean Melon Bibim-guksu' recipe

Mentioning the stress caused by running the shop, Bora attempted to change her mood through spicy and sharp food. Accordingly, the cooking process for 'Korean Melon Bibim-guksu,' which utilizes Korean melon, a seasonal summer fruit, followed.
