On the 25th, Sunwoo Yong-yeo's channel uploaded a travelogue in which Sunwoo Yong-yeo left for Japan with actress Jeon Won-joo.
Sunwoo Yong-yeo recalled her special relationship with Chairman Lee Byung-chul in Tokyo in the 1970s while having dinner with Jeon Won-joo and staff.
He went to Tokyo with an award at TBC. At that time, Chairman Lee Byung-chul was at TBC. The chairman and the four of us (Kim Min-ja, Lee Soon-jae, Lee Nak-hoon) ate only at the sushi restaurant. There was no one."At that time, the cost of meals was more than 5 million won. It's a story 55 years ago from now,' he said, surprising everyone by delivering a surprising amount of money.After eating, the chairman took a golden salary from his chest and asked Lee Soon-jae to shop. I gave all four of them the same amount, and I thought, 'Those who make a lot of money also take out the money accurately," he said, drawing laughter.
Sunwoo Yong-yeo recalled the warm memories of the time, saying, `The chairman did a really good job.'
Meanwhile, Sunwoo Yong-yeo debuted with the first TBC dancer in 1965.
TBC was founded by Samsung Group in 1964 and disappeared into history after being absorbed by KBS through media consolidation in 1980. Lee Soon-jae, who ate together at the time, appeared on tvN 'You Quiz on the Block' last year and drew attention by saying "I'm the only one left out of the six TBC members."
