Actor Kang Yoo-seok showcased his "plum spoon" background.

In the ninth episode of tvN's 'Auntie's Farm Direct 3' (directed by Kim Se-hee), broadcast on the 1st, another journey of four siblings and Ji Jin-hee in Hadong, South Gyeongsang Province was revealed.

On this day, the four siblings and Ji Jin-hee participated in a "fishing luck or no luck" challenge that would determine their fate for the next day. Among five beverages, three people who chose canned coffee with anchovies won the plum harvesting task. The three winners of the plum harvesting task were Yeom Jeong-ah, Kang Yoo-seok, and Noh Yoon-seo.

Subsequently, Kim Sun-young, who was consulting on preparing ingredients, expressed concern, saying, "Preparing these ingredients takes a very long time," and volunteered for the plum harvesting task. After much deliberation, Yeom Jeong-ah said, "I think I should go shopping here and prepare the ingredients. That seems like it would save us time," and swapped responsibilities with Kim Sun-young.

The next morning, the three people who won the plum harvesting task headed to Gwangyang, the country's largest plum production area. While heading to Gwangyang, Kang Yoo-seok called his mother to gather information. It turned out that Kang Yoo-seok's family is a "plum spoon" household with a plum tree at their home.

The target quantity they faced was a massive harvest of four trees, amounting to approximately 4,000 plums. As the full-scale harvest began, Kang Yoo-seok remarked, "Plums are my absolute favorite. I cannot live without plums. I really drink them every day. It's something fans know about. I have a plum tree at my hometown. I eat homemade plum syrup when I have trouble digesting food."

Kang Yoo-seok even went so far as to say, "I want to shoot a commercial for plum drinks more than a X advertisement," and drew attention by attempting a self-shot commercial in the plum field, complete with the line, "I want to bite you."

Meanwhile, Kang Yoo-seok previously revealed on the show, "My hometown is Gangneung in Gangwon Province. I lived there until I was 19, and my grandfather was a farmer. He grew a lot of potatoes and rice. I have never bought rice to eat; we always had our own."
