※ This video is an excerpt from "Architectural Exploration: House - Menopause Overcoming Project: House is Medicine," which aired on June 23, 2026. A mountain village in Damyang, South Jeolla Province. As you walk along a quiet and secluded path, today's house comes into view. A small house and a vast green garden are visible at a glance. It is a garden house personally tended by the wife, Jeong-ok. Influenced by her father, Jeong-ok grew up in a garden where she could take in the sight of flowers and trees. Perhaps because of this, she dreamed of living in the woods and tending a garden since her youth. Then, one day, when she stumbled upon this place while driving, she didn't hesitate for long. Jeong-ok bought the land without hesitation, and her dream became reality. When the couple first encountered this land, it was a remote area with unpaved roads. On what was once a barren rice paddy, Jeong-ok planted 60 birch trees. Through the passage of time as the trees grew, flowers bloomed, and the forest grew lush, it became the garden house it is today. The wife’s gardening, which began in her 50s, is still ongoing 14 years later. Because she is the type of person who must see things through to the end once she starts, she would often suffer physical aches and pains after beginning the gardening work. Her husband, Young-gi, who knows her personality all too well, comes here every weekend to spend time with her. Although he is a complete novice when it comes to flowers due to differing interests, he takes care of his wife’s meals and handles small household chores in exchange for helping with the gardening. Grateful for her husband, the wife placed a TV in the house for him, who likes baseball, and acquired a piano for him, who loves classical music. Here, the couple spends their middle-aged days focusing on their respective interests while also spending time together. Jeong-ok started gardening when she felt the need to reorganize her life due to hormonal changes brought on by aging. Initially, they planned to build a house here themselves, but since garden maintenance alone was overwhelming, after much deliberation, the couple decided to install a modular house. Although it features a simple structure, this garden house is fully equipped with everything one needs. Its high ceilings reduce any sense of confinement, while the gable windows that greet you immediately upon entering capture the ever-changing scenery of the garden throughout the four seasons. While the house was constructed using a modular method, the civil engineering and water supply plumbing connections were handled by his wife, Jeong-ok. Since the construction was managed directly, she led the work alongside the site engineers; furthermore, given that the house features a garden, she personally designed the seven water supply facilities located throughout the site, ensuring the work proceeded without a single error. Jeong-ok’s meticulous touch is fully infused throughout the garden and the house. That is how today’s garden house was completed. ▶ Watch Full Version: https://www.ebs.co.kr/ ▶ If you want to read the EBS documentary as an article: https://egloos.com/ebsyoutube ✔ Program Name: Architectural Exploration: House - Menopause Overcoming Project: House is Medicine ✔ Broadcast Date: June 23, 2026
