- For centuries, Koreans have been using onggi to store and ferment foods. Jin-gyu Heo is the youngest of the 20 remaining master potters who make these earthenware pots. We visited Jin-gyu's workshop, in Ulsan, South Korea, to see how this ancient craft is Still Standing.

How Master Potters Keep A 7000-Year-Old Kimchi Tradition Alive | Still Standing | Business Insider
Anything at all related to ancestral traditions of any culture at all in the world, just keep those coming please. Thank you. I love videos like that, makes me dream I might become rich and help fund these amazing craftsmen so they can focus on their craft. That'd be amazing. 😁
I love this series too. It made me become much aware of how these beautiful pieces of art come to life.
Exactly my thoughts as I watched this. It would be awesome to be able to support those who work so hard.
Amen

My grandma said, it's one of the necessary for making Korean sources like soy source, soybean paste, go-chu-jang because of good fermentation not only kimchi.

@@alejandraflores4601 Are you on drugs?
@@FunSkipping I agree with him...but he might not be drugs...sometimes other things are confused for drugs...
I lived in Korea about 10 years and it was so common to see these outside houses and temples. The problem is that so many people in Korea now live in apartment highrises... hard to have an onggi there. But still, I didn't imagine that the craft was so limited; there was such pride for onggi and I even once saw a video about how amazingly perfect the breathability of the clay is for fermentation and protection. I always imagined that if I ended up buying a house in Korea I would definitely keep a few onggi outside ^^ Still hope to someday ~ Thanks for this video, well done!

Fr, I jus moved to Ulsan w my mom and have yet to see a house

Just stop. It's completely unfair and selfish to spam religious text everywhere when its completely unwarranted (and no, its not warranted: I've already heard the excuses similar to "God is always relevant"). It's one thing if someone is having a hard time and you send them prayers, or the topic is about religion or God, but just spamming it in replies simply to force others to deal with it is wrong. Keep it to yourself. It's especially egregious when half of you start the reply with "REPENT".
We've all had to endure eons of religious (mainly Christianity) propaganda and speech being part of our lives completely for so long, especially when it wasn't welcomed to that extent. Just let us all live and enjoy what we choose to without being forced to bump into this type of thing constantly. There's a very thin line between "free speech" and being proud, and spamming your beliefs inappropriately.
@@alejandraflores4601 Go home, you're drunk.
I love hearing Jin-gyu Heo speak about his craft. Great passion for his efforts.

Dudes confidence to wear white shirt 🔥
Seems like Mr. Jin-Gyu Heo should get some sort of "Master Craftsman" designation from the Korean government. It would've been nice if the video covered how the pots can and are being used in modern times, like they did with the Zellige Tiles episode. Maybe highlight how restaurants or home cooks are using them in traditional or innovate ways/recipes.
I forgot the term they use, but in Korea there are less than 10 crafters who are designated something like National Cultural Treasures for being masters of crafts that are closely linked to Korean culture.
@@nobodyspecial4702 Could there be anything more important to Koreans than Kimchi? XD

He actually does - he was already featured in a different video from another company (which I think was better than this one).
Found it - it was by Eater over a year ago. I recommend that one:)
The fact his dad gave up hope and DIDN’T want him to go into the family business and he still chose to devote his life to it.
I am sure his father is both scared for his future and frustrated, but also extremely proud.
I got sucked in to watching historical Korean TV shows during lockdown, and onggi are so important in many of them, it was amazing to see them made.

Like plot points? That's cool!!
Any shows you'd recommend?

Dear business insider , please consider doing a video on pomo indian weaving! There are miniature baskets weaving since the 1890s-an intricate and dexterous skill and closely guarded secret! Thank you!
Onggi is a true artisan with much patience. I would say that his calling is a form of meditation. Thank you for sharing his work with us.
Blessings to one & all.

Master Craftsmen are exactly that. They have a passion like no other.
I pray that this gentleman continues his talent and teaching.
I really love pieces like this where art you don’t get to see is the focus. Thank you. Keep doing you 🔥
I am pleased to see "onggi" in this channel. I live in Ulsan which is well-known for onggi production place.
God bless you dear, we have that as traditional, I like to use , as water container and some they do use it as a storage for dry fruits but they use the clay after few days they don't leave it for 1 year before using as you do .it's very interesting keep it up man you doing good.
@@repentandbelieveinjesuschr9495 why is it that you keep responding to everybody's comment with this overbearance of putting your personal belief which is fine I just want to know why.? It is nothing wrong with serving Christ. If somebody is talking about a cultural product that is used for centuries and how they cook why do you have to put your overbearance of religious opinions just want to know what is the principle of!!!🧐😎🤔
@@monie2514
I don't know what they said since it's been removed, but I've noticed a HUGE uptick in religious harrassment and spamming lately.
I'm perfectly fine with people expressing their beliefs respectfully, but these comments are being spammed under every reply and are generally along the lines of "REPENT JESUS LOVES YOU REPENT", in its mildest form. Sometimes it is a whole lot darkness akin to fear-mongering with threats of going to Hell and stuff.
I'm honestly fed up with all of it. People have had to deal with Christian beliefs (for the majority, it's been that in a lot of countries for centuries now) being the mainstay and little tolerance for anything else. A lot of people want to have experiences online separate from religion. I just find it insulting when people are throwing comments around like that unprovoked. I wish they'd stop. A "God Bless You" or "I'll pray for you" if someone's sick is totally find and has wholesome emotional basis usually. Religious propaganda splattered everywhere, hoping it'll find a mark somewhere isn't.
I am curious what exactly they said, though....
Please bring some onggi to the UK i will buy they look so cool
Salutes to this man's dedication & sacrifice to keep a traditional craft alive.
So beautiful
You’re here too?
very nice 👍
I use a small 1L onggi for making kimchi at home. Kimchi made in it ferments perfectly every time, and it fits nicely in my refrigerator. It's a shame people are losing sight of the benefits of this wonderful ancient product.
This was so beautiful to watch. This master Onggi maker has such a calm dedication to his art
I really want one now. I'm so glad the craft is still around.
I too hope that never dies the kimchee made in a traditional onggi is the best you just can’t beat it no way
Back at home we have a few of these pots sitting outside. I was told something was in it and was fermenting for the last 5 years lol
🫢🫢5 years…
These stories are loved, please keep sharing them. Knowledge is freedom and freedom is expression and creativity. Another wonderful video.
the dedication is amazing.
Commitment at altogether a different level... 👏👏 Really impresses and persuades to think of show impeccable service and commitment
The dedication tho
It's beautiful. I would pay $800 for it.
Working with mud in white shirt u sir is sure a master of ur craft
That was relaxing to watch
I’m so incredibly interested in learning this part of my history. I’m half Korean and I enjoy learning new things.
so much work and equal dedication
That looks so satisfying.
Natural beauty, him and the onngi. 👌🏼
Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
I LIKE HOW, HE SAYS "THE MAGIC'S IN MY HANDS".😅
Many history may disappear but many also will come back. People these days just don't get it till they get older and understand the values.
And many many more disappear and never return. I get why people want to keep traditions alive but eventually they will die out too.
My mom and her. Korean friends used to make cucumber kim chi from homegrown cucumbers all summer.
We couldn't get enough.
Sure miss my mom and her lovely friends. ❤
Thank you for this video.
This is a rather good idea on how to make a big clay pot. I never thought it is possible...
Fascinating. I wish you all success.
just to say I love the image quality... I don't know how to say or what the technical term is, but the images are amazing and have an old documentary style to them. cool
What artistry.
Beautiful 💖
So good 👌
I LOVE THIS✨🙏
Such beautiful work, people who work with their hands, and build stuff understand this beauty on a different level. Also only $800 bucks for one that's it?
What he does is super creative.
Great to see the traditional craftmanship is still alive
truly a wonder
Amazing!
I get wanting to keep the process the same but is changing to a modern kiln really that big of a deal. 50% of pots breaking is hard to understand when it could be reduced to 25% or less and not require to be constantly monitored for 5 days. Same with the glazes, those traditional glazes are cool but only earth colors, I feel like most would want bright colors. Still, it a really cool that they are keeping the tradition alive.
Yeah I thought I heard them say 1 in 5 break, which is still a lot, but a 50% failure rate is bad and uneconomical for just how much time and effort is put into these handmade pieces. Firing them in a kiln for 5 days sounds like a lot too. I think they can modernize some of the processes to be more efficient without sacrificing quality.
I get what you mean but if you watched the video he did on Eater (over a year ago and I personally think is better) than you would know he is paid by the government to maintain the tradition so I think that’s a huge factor:)
Nice video.
*Impressive*
Absolutly a amazing!👍
Biz köyde ekmek tandırı yapardık toprak su keçi kılı çamur edip mayalardık döverdik şekil verir tandır yapardık sonra haftalarca kaşıkla döverdik kurutur atası yakardık sonrada ekmek tandırı olurdu ☺️çocukluğum aklıma geldı
The flavor that pot is going to give the kimchi or soybean paste is going to be insane.
Beautiful
Awesome 👍🥳
this is a good, good, person.
Interesting. Where I grew up in South Africa, we had something similar which people would use to store grain and drinking water...We call it nkho
Passionate
Salute 💓🙋♂️
Keep it going bless up
Pottery ... Nice ans use.
This is a good internal decoration in a house, a big and a small one
Salute to this man .
That Man Is A Genius!
The magic of handmade items disappear more and more nice to see this being kept alive
Good.
Wow
respect
That is a ton of work this potter is doing to create one massive pot. That kiln sure takes a ton of work to seal and unseal for each firing. The pots are so beautiful! I hope someone keeps this tradition going when he no longer can.
Smaller ones can be used in a modern kitchen would be great
Sounds effects goin crazy 💦
Does Business Insider post or explain how to purchase any of the items from these videos?
He looks great for 58!!
I had a friend who is very good at making his own pot
Absolutely masterful potter! Thank you so much sir for this video! 🙏🏽 and to the folks who shared this story, thank you for your efforts!
I would love to learn from him! I'm a potter and calligrapher myself!
I am a Korean local producer who produced the program. Onggi craftsmen are preparing a residency program for foreigners. It will probably open at the end of this year. Please keep your eyes on it.
@@muzavi thank you for your hard work in preserving your culture! Okay! Will do!
@@muzavi do you know if they travel to the US to teach?
@@devcodes312 If there is an inviting organization, it will be possible. He is also teaching at the university.
@@muzavi amazing!!!!! Thank you! 😊
Onggi and the potroches
Bet kimchi from that would be so so good
I love making pottery. These pots are exceptional and such a lot of hard work. What skill he has and how labor intensive the whole process is. Fermented food is so very healthy for us.
Reality is that the price of these pots are not appropriate for what he's done. Definitely ppl need to know the worth of these pots.
I would buy from him. Idc bout the new stuff they made to "replace" it, this is Earth, id prefer that over plastic. And to add its personally hand made with someone putting their all into it with good vibes. I mean whether you believe it or not energy carries, and he has good energy and good intentions. I guarantee that the food tastes better from this pot.
I'm always in awe whenever i see a good shaped pot, it's always a wonder how consistent you must be making it. When i was younger i always thought it was made by machine haha
Very cool! He needs an etsy shop lol, people will buy every single one he can make
5:44 doggo 🐶 😍
I thought it was a lamp.
I know this will sound callous but I feel like the narration wasn't descriptive enough - Besides the type of clay used, what makes this kind of pottery unique compared to other similarly sized and shaped jars? Genuinely curious.
I want one.
I love this man so much ❤️
Using plastic containers have been reported to be unhealthy, I'm sure like all things this onggi will be an must have necessity health conscious faze..et once researchers report on its health benefits. For me practical wise I'm interested to see if there's a mini version (for smaller households)
Did this video really come out last month? I could have worn I saw it last year or something
I'm all for traditional methods preserved for cultural heritage, but dang that is a LOT of time and effort for only half of your work actually come out correctly
Something tells me that this knowledge will be useful for the Mars colony
I'd use them.
These are priceless.. and the creators should get their worth..
That sound at 0.03 reminds me of something 🤔
Damn.
IT breathes so we can say ongi is alive.
i think theres a market for smaller ones because the larger ones are hard to transport or keep in an apartment
Beautiful. You are a true artist and fantastically brilliant artisan…the world desperately needs you and the few left, like you, who leave an imprint of their entire being, in that which your expertly create. Genius.
I love love love this-all of these features are an exquisite gift! Thank You for showing us these beautiful and wonderful Souls!
Such a patient man is precious in present day people easily get bored.
His way of life is cool!
How can I contact him? Does he ships to India?
