A dedicated potato researcher with 12 years of experience at the Potato Research Institute. Known for her deep passion for potatoes, Mi-Kyeong often immerses herself in hands-on fieldwork, preferring the soil of potato fields over the confines of a traditional lab.
Appointed as the new director of the Potato Research Institute, Baek-Ho brings a pragmatic and profit-oriented approach to the institute. His arrival introduced a series of changes aimed at modernizing operations. These often put him at odds with Mi-Kyeong’s traditional and research-focused methods.
