2012 arrived, however, it didn't start well, because the beginning of 2012 ushered in the MBC strike.

The Hanseong MBC TV Federation announced a strike on January 30, with the participation of MBC TV's news department, variety show department, and radio department, and popular programs such as "Infinite Challenge" and "We Are Married" were forced to stop broadcasting due to the strike.

The MBC Journalists' Union accused the MBC president of colluding with the government to obstruct journalists' fair and objective news reporting, making MBC reporters a laughing stock in the Korean press circles. And with the addition of other parts of MBC TV, the general strike was finally triggered.

Because of the general strike of MBC employees, MBC's large-scale talent show "Great Birth", which was scheduled to be broadcast, was temporarily canceled, and popular programs such as "Infinite Challenge" and "We Are Married" were also suspended. Only TV dramas outsourced to TV drama production companies such as "The Moon Embraces the Sun" and "Light and Shadow" will still be broadcast normally.

The MBC labor union then issued a public statement demanding the immediate resignation of the current president of MBC, Kim Chae-chol, and Kim Chae-chul also responded-for-tat to the union, saying that the strike was both a political strike and an illegal strike, which was not protected by labor law, and those MBC employees who participated in the strike would be severely punished. Because neither party had the slightest intention of making concessions, the deepening of the general strike, the filming of the hit drama "Moon Embracing the Sun" was blocked, and it was finally forced to stop broadcasting.

Among them, Li Shuo's "Infinite Challenge" also joined the strike, which lasted for a long time, from January to July.

So "Infinite Challenge" was off the air for half a year, which directly affected the advertising rate, which led to a loss of 2 billion won.

In early 2012, Kim Jae-chul was accused of dereliction of duty by the union after he was accused of misappropriating a corporate credit card and giving special favors to dancer J.

After the 2012 MBC strike, he even moved the participants of the strike to inconsequential positions and departments, and then hired outsiders such as "trainee journalists", which led to a deepening of tensions among staff.

As for this strike, although Li Shuo, like Liu Zaishi and other artists, did not have a clear attitude, he personally paid for the striking staff to send free drinks, from this point of view, in fact, Li Shuo is still very supportive of the strike.

In addition to support, Li Shuo admired more, and the most important reason for this strike was for freedom and democracy.

Unfair, distorted reporting, and so-called fake news. Anchors can only read news that prescribes a good direction, and anchor words that they want to modify but can't, countless colleagues who are driven away in pursuit of justice, and no one knows who will be driven out next.

Some time ago, MBC TV exposed a blacklist based on political leanings, which was used to suppress reporters and directors who had different opinions within the station.

In good conscience, Han Cheng's attitude towards reporting impartiality is very worthy of learning, and I don't want reporters from certain countries to not only fail to report fairly, but instead frantically create fake news on their own, and it is shameful to compare the two with each other.

In addition to reporters and variety shows, at the same time as the strike, MBC's variety show PDs issued a joint statement demanding the resignation of the president, in which the PDs listed various dissatisfaction with the president:

interfere with invited guests, no matter how good the guest is, if the president is not satisfied, it cannot be used;

Interfere with the production of the show, a song or even a line of subtitles.

If you don't do what the president asks, no matter how good the ratings are, they will be cut.

This should be democracy, this should be freedom, although it is still very weak, but something is better than nothing, muddy is not bad, but when you are always muddy, one day you will be swallowed by some monsters in society who eat people and do not spit out bones.

At that time, there will be no one who can save you, and a person's life and future will never be handed over to a certain person or organization.

Because when you have the right to kill you, that person or a member of that organization wants to enslave you, no one has absolute justice, he can't do justice, why should I believe that, of course, he has weapons in his hands, so we are subjugated instead of living in a free and democratic society.

Thailand... Koh Chang... Located in the southeast sea of Thailand, it is the second largest island in Thailand, with an area of 429 square kilometers, 70% covered by pristine rainforest, and the island is under the jurisdiction of Trat province on land.

Koh Chang is also known as Koh Chang because it is shaped like the back of an elephant playing in the sea when viewed from the air. Located in the easternmost part of Thailand, Koh Chang is the second largest island in Thailand with an area of about 429 square kilometers and is part of Trat Province, which is also the most landscaped island in Thailand's national parks.

There are also 52 small islands around Koh Chang, 47 of which have been designated as national marine parks along with Koh Chang, with a total area of 650 square kilometres. Koh Chang is well known as a tourist attraction with tropical island scenery, with less than 10,000 inhabitants working in tourism or fishing.

However, it is a beautiful island surrounded by mountains, tranquil and immaculate, 70% unspoiled rainforest, full of natural beauty, and a paradise for adventure lovers. The waterfall is the island's main source of water and is famous for the presence of His Majesty King Rama V. The dense rainforests in the central part of Koh Chang form some spectacular natural waterfalls, and the island's main tourist and pilgrimage spots are connected to the waterfalls.

It is also surrounded by tropical nature, surrounded by bays, silvery white sand beaches, clear blue waters, and lush mountains embedded in the blue sea, making people feel like they are in a paradise.

Whether it's playing freely on the beach, fishing, diving, sailing in the unspoiled sea, or hiking in the Jade Rainforest, Koh Chang is one of the most attractive activities in Koh Chang. Visitors can also experience camping and swimming in the waterfall area, while the quiet and peaceful traditional fishing village can not only experience the local folk customs, but also taste the delicious seafood.

There are a number of excellent diving sites in the waters around Koh Chang, and you can enjoy the coral reefs from 5 to 25 meters from the bottom of the sea. Diving is available all year round, with the best season from October to May. The area offers a variety of hard and soft coral reefs that are home to many tropical marine life, including moray eels, tropical fish, sea bass, creeping, turtles, whale sharks, and more.

On a sunny day, three women and two men came to Elephant Island, plus a variety show production team, and they were going to stay here for 10 days just to record a variety show called Han Canteen!

..............................

At Koh Chang Trat Airport, a small plane landed steadily, and the plane was so small that it could probably accommodate a production team.

After the plane landed, the five participants of the Korean cafeteria walked down from the plane.

The so-called Korean canteen, it is another variety show of TVN Luo Yingshi, and the source of this idea is Seagull Canteen:

One day in the summer, on a street corner in Helsinki, the capital of Finland, a small restaurant called "Seagull Restaurant" opened. The owner and chef is a middle-aged Japanese woman, Yukie, who serves as her signature dish the simple and delicious traditional Japanese food of onigiri.

This quirky shop attracts a lot of passers-by to come in and check it out, but no one wants to sit down and have a bite to eat. On days when there are no customers, Koe still goes to the market every day to shop and cleans the shop spotlessly. Tommy, a young man who loves Japanese culture, becomes the first customer at the restaurant, and he asks Yukie for the lyrics of the theme song of the anime "Science Ninja Team". One evening, Koe met Midori, who had come to Finland alone, at a bookstore, and persuaded Midori to come to the store to help. Soon after, Masako, who lost her luggage at the airport, also became a member of the restaurant. The restaurant, which is run by three Japanese women, gradually has customers.

Seeing the Seagull Canteen gave Luo Yingshi the idea of opening a Korean restaurant in Thailand, and then he put this idea into action, gathering five Korean artists to come to the beautiful Koh Chang, Thailand, and start their ten-day restaurant trip.

The first person to step down from the plane was Lee Seok, his position in the Korean restaurant is a chef, and it is no secret that Lee Seok can cook among his friends.

The reason why Luo Yingshi has confidence in the Korean restaurant this time is that Li Shuo is also an important reason, because Li Shuo's cooking is really good, with Li Shuo here, at least the Korean restaurant will not be mushy.

Song Ji-hyo, the second person who came down, the manager of the Korean restaurant, why he chose Song Ji-hyo as the manager, is mainly because Song Ji-hyo is confused... Luo Yingshi wanted to see what kind of path a confused store manager could take with a Korean restaurant.

Kim Jong Kook stepped off the plane third, Kim Jong Kook's position is to buy, and there is an assistant store manager, plus a bodyguard in the store, such a big guy, one stop in the store, that is also the strongest deterrent.

Lin Yun'er followed behind Kim Jong Kook, this time Lin Yun'er's position was a kitchen assistant, to put it bluntly, he was Li Shuo's assistant, according to Luo Yingshi's meaning, Li Shuo worked very hard to be a chef, so he found an eye-catching beauty for Li Shuo.

The last one is, of course, Lee Ji-eun, who is the bar girl, responsible for ordering, drinks and other chores, and the happiest person to participate in the Korean restaurant this time is Lee Ji-eun, because she always treats Luo Yingshi's show as a travel show.

............................

"Ahh I'm so hungry, OPPA, Zhongguo OPPA, hurry up. Standing at the baggage claim area of Trat Airport, Li Zhien shouted loudly.

"It's coming... Come, Li Zhien, you are embarrassed to shout at us to hurry up, do you know, your luggage is the most, you really think you are here to travel?"

Li Shuo, who came over with his luggage, was unhappy and scolded Li Zhien loudly.

However, Li Zhien is not afraid of Li Shuo's scolding, because she knows whether her OPPA will scold her, as long as she waits for her to be a little girl, her OPPA will be fine immediately.

“OPPA... Come on, I love you, sorry I have too much luggage, but I'm really hungry. "A coquette.

Before Li Shuo could speak, Jin Zhongguo pushed his luggage and walked quickly: "It's okay, Xiaoshuo, hurry up, don't complain, just treat it as fitness." ”

"Hee-hee... Chung Kook OPPA is the best. Li Zhien smiled.

Li Shuo was speechless, but when he was talking, the luggage had already been done, and then the group went out of the airport, and the production team had prepared a nanny car outside the airport.

After everyone got on the bus, there was a heated discussion about the Korean restaurant in the car:

"Not sure what our restaurant is like. ”

"It should be beautiful. ”

"The production team said that it was very Han style, and I think it must be the architecture of the Han Dynasty. ”

"Ahh I don't know how much start-up capital the production team will give us. ”

"At least 1 million won, right?" said Lee Ji-eun.

"Stop dreaming. Li Shuo looked at Luo Yingshi, who was the co-pilot in front of him, with a smile and said: "You don't know, some PDs are very picky, 1 million won, I can have 500,000 won, it's good, after all, the price of this island is not very high." ”

"500,000 is too little. Kim Jong Kook also shook his head.

Lin Yun'er was speechless: "Then don't we have no pocket money, I also saw a scarf just now." ”

.............................

Along the way, there was talk and laughter, the car got on the ferry, about 20 minutes later, a group of five people came to the pier of Koh Chang, but now it is not to go to the restaurant, first to go to the place where the five people live, first put the luggage, and then go to the restaurant.

When we arrived at the place where the five people lived, everyone was collectively happy, because the place was very good, a villa, with five rooms, two bathrooms, one for boys and one for girls.

The villa is backed by mountains and facing the sea, and the scenery is simply picturesque.

All of them expressed their utmost satisfaction with the place where they lived, and then Lee Seok and Kim Jong Kook became coolies and began to carry the girls' luggage.

After the luggage was carried out, the five people found the red envelope on the table outside the living room, picked it up and opened it, there were a total of five small red envelopes, the artist 1,000 Thai strain, that is, more than 30,000 won, and then there was a big red envelope, which was the start-up capital of the Korean restaurant, I thought it would be very little, but what was surprising was 50,000 Thai strain, that is, about 1.8 million won, which was three times more than everyone estimated in the car.

"Huh... Li Shuo laughed: "It seems that the program team also has a lot of kindness, how can I give so much this time, I can't believe it." ”

"OPPA, you are always like this, in fact, our Luo PD is a generous person, this time we will be much easier. Lin Yun'er grinned.

Seriously, for 50,000 baht, all the Korean restaurant members were very happy, and when the money was in hand, it was directly put in the hands of the ignorant people.

Then everyone packed their bags and got ready to find their own restaurant.

There is some distance between the restaurant and the home, about 10 minutes by car, in a very good location, less than 20 meters in front of the restaurant is the blue sea, and about a few hundred meters behind the verdant mountains.

There is also a swimming pool on the right side of the restaurant, so it can be said that the production team of the Korean restaurant has taken the best position in Koh Chang.

After seeing the restaurant, all the little ones were excited, a very beautiful Chinese-style structure of the restaurant, wrapped in bamboo outside, very beautiful.

"Facing the sea and backing the mountains, it's really beautiful. Kim Jong Kook was the first to sigh.

"Wow... It's beautiful, look at the pool there. Song Jihyo smiled with satisfaction.

"Where's the pool?" said Lim Yoon-a and Lee Ji-eun with excited expressions.

Li Shuo laughed and pointed to the side: "No, it's just there, we can come out for a swim at noon." ”
