[0:00] I'm here to share an anecdote about how a junior soldier was shocked when an actor prepared meals for 180 people.
[0:05] This was back when I was serving in the same unit as my senior, Doh Kyung-soo. Honestly, everyone says that entering the kitchen is like going to war. But the moment my senior walked in, his expression was different.
[0:12] He said, "Hey, it's okay even if we're short-staffed. We can just divide our time."
[0:14] After saying that, he grabbed a knife and his hands literally didn't stop. That day was particularly tough because our numbers suddenly dropped, and the two of us had to prepare meals for 180 people.
[0:21] Inside, I thought, "We're finished," but my senior just smiled quietly and said, "I did about this much even when I was getting my [cooking] licenses."
[0:26] He told me, "Just don't slack off." He spoke casually, but his movements were a total professional's. From prepping ingredients and seasoning to organizing the serving flow-he handled it all. While I was just standing there dazed...
[0:35] He split our roles perfectly, saying, "From now on, you just watch the soup. When it boils, lower the heat; when things float to the top, skim them off."
[0:39] Surprisingly, the work started flowing smoothly. When the meal service ended and everyone was exhausted, he said one thing to me: "Did you see the faces of the kids eating today?"
[0:46] "That's enough then." In that moment, I realized, "Ah, this person doesn't just cook well-he has a different level of responsibility toward making sure people are well-fed."
[0:52] Please give a round of applause to Doh Kyung-soo, the person who created the warmest day from the most difficult position.
