What are you doing now?
Let's have a drink first.
Where are we?
If you look at the Treasure Island,
There's a scene where pirates take out a whiskey glass from the beach and drink it.
Why did you bring so much whiskey?
LOL
Oh, you can't film over there.
Camera this way.
If you film from here to here,
There's no Scotland.
This is Gangwon-do Samcheok's Gangnam Beach.
I like Gangwon-do the best among many military bases in Korea.
I'm originally from Gangwon-do.
When I was young, my father worked in Gangneung.
I lived in Gangneung back and forth.
Since then, I've lived in Seoul, New York, and Paris.
I've lived in many big cities.
I think there's a emotional difference between a person who grew up in a big city and a person who grew up in a big city.
When I'm in Seoul, I feel like I'm camping somewhere.
I don't feel like I'm completely home and resting.
I feel like I'm completely resting.
First of all, you can't have more than 10 people in 1 square kilometer radius.
I think I'm resting when there's no one.
Like here.
What did you do this for?
To make it feel more like Robinson Crusoe or Castaway.
I talked about it in the dopamine content with Dr. Jang Dong-sun before.
The very small pleasure that comes after experiencing hard and painful things.
I told you it's several times the pleasure you get on top of the pleasure.
But I don't really want to go through the pain.
I just feel like I'm surviving on a deserted island.
That's where I get the pleasure.
One of the most difficult places to sail in England during the Age of the Great Sea was Scotland.
There were a lot of sailors from Scotland.
They drink Scotch whiskey like water.
If you were kidnapped, you'd get an orc barrel.
It must have felt like a lifeboat.
I'm enjoying that feeling right now.
In about six months, I'll get a phone call.
I'm going to light a fire until then.
And I'm going to cut this up and make it.
What's for dinner?
Today's dinner is sea squirt and abalone sashimi.
We've made a few videos about Scotch whiskey.
And I've been doing some research, and I've found a really cool tradition.
Actually, in the original Scottish tradition, it's not sea squirt and abalone, it's oyster.
The Scottish sailors used to pick oysters from the sea.
They'd use a hunting knife like this to scrape off the oysters.
And then they'd bring a whiskey bottle and pour whiskey on the oyster shell.
And then they'd lick it with this.
I saw that and thought, wow, that's cool.
I was wondering what it would look like in Korean style.
It's the sea squirt and abalone season.
If it goes well with oysters, wouldn't it go well with sea squirt and abalone?
So today, sea squirt and abalone single malt pairing.
Ha ha ha.
Mm.
It's good.
That's why I ate it like this.
Oh, what is it?
Oh, this is what abalone looks like.
There's a hole in the eye.
I can't put whiskey in here.
Abalone is abalone, but I like sea squirt a lot.
Mm.
It's good.
When we took 1.6 million Q&A in Central Park,
A lot of people asked me this question.
Rather, I've experienced the culture of many countries, so I'm confused about my identity.
Still, why do you say it's good to experience a lot of cultures?
There are many reasons.
I'd like to talk about two more reasons today.
One is that without a comparison target,
It's very difficult to find out the value.
To accurately identify where you grew up,
You need a comparison target.
Most people who were born in the countryside of Korea are compared to Seoul.
If you go to Seoul, there are good educational facilities.
They say the infrastructure is good, the medical facilities are good.
I'm comparing this.
I can't see the advantages of where I grew up.
But I've been traveling a lot.
The most beautiful place in the world.
For example, if you go to the southwest of France,
There's a place where the Pyrenees and the Mediterranean meet.
But when I go there, I feel like I'm familiar with the terrain.
It's almost the same terrain as coming down from the Han River to the Yangtze River.
Then I think about Gangwon-do again.
Why haven't I seen this before?
And when I look at Gangwon-do with those eyes, it looks very beautiful.
For example, if you take a car from New York and go up about 250km,
There's a mountain called Andirondack.
New Yorkers say it's the most beautiful place in nature.
I went there.
It's just Odaesan National Park.
One of the advantages of experiencing various cultures is that
There's a comparison.
It's a little more objective about where I grew up.
Most of the time, it's a positive assessment.
And the second one is...
Let me try a combination that I didn't think of.
So, for example, how do you eat oysters in Korea?
Let's make kimchi and eat it.
I make oyster pancakes and eat them.
Do you eat oysters?
But French friends...
It's called a mignonette sauce.
I eat it with onions and vinegar.
And we eat oysters.
I ate it with bokbunjaju and cheongha.
If you eat white wine and oysters,
It sounds very awkward.
So there's a combination that we didn't think of before.
There's something that makes it possible.
But in 2013 or 2014,
A friend who lives in Scotland has his own hunting lodge.
There's a lot of little campsites for hunting.
I was invited there and went there.
I went there and ate raw oysters with whiskey.
So I saw that.
I thought it would be okay to eat abalone and sea squirt with whiskey.
So we just have a stereotype.
If there are people who eat oysters and whiskey,
And if it's a combination that's been around for hundreds of years in Scotland,
I thought it would be okay to eat abalone or sea squirt with whiskey in Korea.
I tried it and it was okay.
But if you think about it, it's bound to go well with this.
Seafood is very fresh, but it's a little fishy.
I'm going to eat less fishy oysters.
You sprinkle sea salt and lemon juice on top.
It adds a fruity scent.
Talisker is a very famous whiskey with a sea salt note.
Abalone is from the sea.
The sea salt note is alive.
But this is heavy.
It's got fruit and sweet.
I know this again.
It's a rumor among foreigners.
Through TripAdvisor.
If you go to Samcheok in Gangwon-do, take a bottle of whiskey.
Go to a port in Samcheok.
Buy sea squirt, sea cucumber, or abalone.
If you go to the beach and drink whiskey, you'll die.
If you're going to get into the exotic atmosphere,
Step 1. Props
Step 2. Food
Step 3. Music or literary works with that atmosphere.
Listen or read.
If you're a poet representing Scotland's spirit,
I'm going to pick a poet named Walter Scott.
A poet named Walter Scott.
I wrote a poem called A Song of a Male and a Female Mermaid.
I'll just read a few lines from here.
Under the sea, in the depths of the sea,
You make beads with sparkling pearls.
Singing the great achievements of the old Norwegian warriors.
Wow, that's cool.
Norway means the Vikings here.
I'm going to cover the waves, and I'm going to play in the sea.
You could have sunk.
You might have fought with other Vikings.
You could have fallen into the sea in a war.
So, remembering the stories of those people,
To worship them,
Dig pearls in the sea and make necklaces with beads.
It's our mermaids.
We're the rough Tule kids.
Tule is now...
It's the coldest place in North European legend.
I was born in a deep cave under the sea.
Like birds in the grassland.
I'm here to share joy with you.
Mermaids go back and forth between the world under the sea and the world above the sea.
It's like singing birds.
When we're in the woods, we can't see it.
As we fly up the forest and sing,
Like we're getting happy.
With joy and legend in the sea.
I came here to jump out of the sea and share the joy with you.
Of course, this is the Samcheok of Gangwon-do.
Think of it as a legendary sea.
Tasting a unique combination of food.
Imagining a mysterious world in the sea.
I think this adds a little flavor to life.
What is Scotland's culture?
Basically, Scotland's culture.
I think it can be classified into three categories.
One is the highland culture that we're used to through movies like Braveheart.
And then there are people who go to the big grassland.
There's a lowland culture in the Pyeonghya area.
But the third one is that there are a lot of fishermen.
Especially lobsters.
Eat this and relieve your fatigue with whiskey.
Sleep well that day and go to work on a boat the next day.
I'm sure there was such a tradition.
So some whiskeys are foggy.
There are rocks in the advertisement.
There's a gas station under the valley.
But today I brought Talisker.
The gas station itself is next to the sea.
So Talisker's motto is made by the sea.
But the expression by has two meanings in English.
You can translate it as whiskey made by the sea.
You can translate it as whiskey made next to the sea.
Especially in the case of whiskey with the image of the sea.
It's often made on an island.
Sky Island.
The first gas station on Sky Island is Talisker.
So if it's Talisker,
I think I should eat it with this.
This is called Wilder Sea.
It's a sea-themed.
There's a design that's based on the coastline.
I heard that the bottle was also made of recycled glass.
The elderly in Norway who passed away were sleeping in the sea.
A plastic bottle is floating down.
How bad would it feel?
I need pepper.
It's like balancing the scent of the sea.
It definitely feels like this.
Good.
When I first started YouTube,
When does a person lose interest in life?
When you stop being innocent alone,
I said that romance disappears.
Most of the time, when we set up something cool,
To move the person you love.
Or to prove how cool I am to other people.
I'm good at setting up for this.
But I'm the only one who's setting up to get into the mood.
I do it until I'm in my 10s and 20s.
I don't usually do it after I'm in my mid-20s.
And as I get older, I get more practical.
Why are you taking all this heavy stuff with you?
Why are you drinking soju there?
Why are you carrying this all the way there?
That's what I think.
In fact, humans are animals of the atmosphere.
My mood is 100% related to setting.
So I'm being innocent for myself.
I practiced it myself today.
That's it for today's Cho Seung-hyun's exploration.
I'll see you next time with a more interesting cultural history story.
Goodbye.
To the mermaids.
For the Viking warriors who died in Norway.
