"Write what you have anyway" Chairman Shin Hong-sik explained why he is giving back his wealth to society.
EBS and E-Channel co-produced on the 18th, and "Seo Jang-hoon's Neighborhood Millionaires" (hereinafter referred to as "Neighborhood Millionaires")", the life story of Chairman Shin Hong-sik, who wrote the myth of 300 million won in monthly sales in the early 1990s due to computer monitor manufacturing, unfolded. Shin Hong-sik, who grew up in a wealthy family, started his business in his 20s with the help of his father. In the meantime, an accident occurred and faced a crisis of life in which a single room was rented from a 280 pyeong mansion. He did not give up his intention to make a comeback while working for a company with a monthly salary of 300,000 won. And about 10 years later, he finally established the Daegu TOP5 Industrial History and achieved great success.
However, the reason why Daegu citizens respect Shin Hong-sik was not because of his success as a businessman. For the first time in Korea, Shin Hong-sik attracted attention by opening a separate cafe in a 100-year-old traditional hanok. Purchases and repairs alone cost 10 billion won. Proposals poured in to make money by building high-rise buildings, but he chose to preserve our traditional culture by protecting hanok. In addition, Shin Hong-sik has collected 1,000 paintings over 30 years, dreaming of building an art museum that citizens can enjoy for free. In response "Money is spent, but art is always there. We will be able to show the breath of our ancestors in hundreds of years." In addition, Shin Hong-sik is also working as a good renter who lends space to local artists for free.
Shin Hong-sik is also famous as a rice restaurant man in Daegu. Rice has been delivered directly to 85 households for 28 years since the IMF. Rice delivery alone costs 4 to 5 million won every month. In response, he added "If you've made money, it's natural to help people in need around you." Shin Hong-sik is also a member of the Daegu Honor Society (a group of large donors with more than 100 million won). In recognition of the spread of this sharing culture, he served as the chairman of the sharing organization, and in 2017, he was awarded the National Order of Merit Pomegranate. Shin Hong-sik mentioned that `Seo Jang-hoon is also a member of Honor Society.' Seo Jang-hoon donated 100 million won to the heads of households for boys and girls in 2017 and joined the Honor Society as the 1452nd member.
Shin Hong-sik, who has been giving back his wealth to society for nearly 30 years, was humble, saying, `Write what you have anyway and go.' Jonathan says "There is a saying that the left hand should not know what the right hand is doing, but I want to know the little toe as well."The bombshell drew laughter. Seo Jang-hoon said, `It's not right to show off too much, but you can induce others to participate only by informing them of their good deeds.' Shin Hong-sik then wrote "The flower of a capitalist society is donation and sharing. I want to fill the void of people in needexpressed the meaning of " Finally "Do you think the chairman is rich?When asked by the production team ", Shin Hong-sik answered "No one is richer than me at heart, so he gave a touching impression."
