Actress Sunwoo Yong-yeo revealed the process and behind-the-scenes story of running a sewing factory when she immigrated to the United States.
On the 27th, a video titled "The shocking racial discrimination Sunwoo Yong-yeo suffered in the U.S. for 8 years (the resentful LA)" was posted on the YouTube channel 'Sunny Wind Sunwoo Yong-yeo'.
On that day, Sunwoo Yong-yeo visited the house she lived in and the Korean restaurant she operated when she immigrated to the U.S. 40 years ago, reminiscing about her past.
She continued with the story of how she came to manage the sewing factory. Sunwoo Yong-yeo said, "A person my husband knew from Seoul was the owner of the sewing factory. He told us to buy the factory, and I bought it without knowing anything."
When the PD asked, "Don't you need money for that?", Sunwoo Yong-yeo replied, "I sold one apartment at first and used that money. When that didn't work out, I sold another one. I sold all four apartments."
When the PD mentioned, "That apartment in Banpo is now worth 5 billion or 6 billion," Sunwoo Yong-yeo said, "What do you think about that? It's already in the past," and added, "What I think is good about my personality is that I don't think about yesterday. Why think about what has passed? It's troublesome. As long as today is fun and I'm living well, that's enough," showcasing her positive philosophy of life.
She mentioned that they made pants at the sewing factory. Sunwoo Yong-yeo also certified her actual hand scar, saying, "I got a scar from a needle while doing overlocking at the factory, and I still have it."
After selling the sewing factory, she mentioned that she could obtain a real estate license in Korean, so she went to study. Sunwoo Yong-yeo said, "I studied for about two months, but then my husband suggested we run a restaurant together, so I bought it," and expressed regret, saying, "I should have obtained the real estate license back then."
Meanwhile, Sunwoo Yong-yeo is currently gaining attention with content visiting her son and daughter in the U.S. after sharing her daily life in Seoul on her YouTube channel 'Sunny Wind Sunwoo Yong-yeo'.
