In 'Countryside Village Lee Jang-woo 3', Lee Jang-woo struggled with the immense intensity of salt farm labor.
In the MBC variety program 'Countryside Village Lee Jang-woo 3', which aired on the 13th, Lee Jang-woo was shown setting out to find the third rice thief.
That day, Lee Jang-woo visited the Buan Gomso Salt Farm to help with salt harvesting. Starting the work with vigor, Lee Jang-woo soon exclaimed, "It's hard," and "The salt is incredibly heavy," appearing flustered.

Regarding the perceived weight of the salt, Lee Jang-woo explained, "It feels like about 250 kg. It's really heavy. I think I understand what they mean when they say, 'Once you stop, you can't stop.'"
Breathing heavily and continuing to groan, Lee Jang-woo asked how much salt was in each section. Upon hearing, "It will probably yield around 800 to 900 kg," he was shocked.
Having worked without ever straightening his back, Lee Jang-woo showed signs of exhaustion from the continuous digging but then gathered his resolve and silently continued digging.
In response, a salt farm veteran told Lee Jang-woo, "Did you have a fight with the PD or the writers? It's strange; people who don't get along well are often dragged to the salt farm." Lee Jang-woo replied, "Did I do something wrong?" and sat down, laughing.
Lee Jang-woo pushed a cart weighing up to 400 kg toward the warehouse and received salt as a gift. He conveyed the meaningful significance, saying, "I learned more about salt and it became even more precious to me."
