Seo Jang-hoon, a millionaires in the second group, envy you. Instead, I think there are many things to learn (millionaires)



Seo Jang-hoon is coming back.

EBS 'Seo Jang-hoon's Neighborhood Millionaires' (hereinafter ' Millionaires') will premiere its regular broadcast at 9:55 p.m. on September 17.

Last season, 'Neighbor Millionaires', which was evaluated as a 'New Horizons in Cultural Entertainment' with the same buzz and ratings in each episode, will showcase an upgraded scale and depth through this regular season. In particular, Jang Ye-won, who newly joined with Seo Jang-hoon, is raising viewers' expectations. Seo Jang-hoon's intuitive and candid speech and Jang Ye-won's warm and lively empathy will convey the millionaire's 'real story' in greater abundance. On top of that, many millionaires beyond imagination, such as 'King of toilet', 'Modern Bongi Kim Sun-dal' and 'Unwavering Female CEO', are appearing, heralding an unprecedented story and emotion.




- How do you feel about coming back to the regular season.

▶ Thanks to so much love for Season 1, we are able to come back like this. The regular season is all the more meaningful because it's like a 'pass stamp' given by the viewers. The sense of responsibility has grown, but at the same time, the production team is preparing happily with the hope of repaying it with more advanced content.

- What is the biggest difference compared to season 1.




▶ If season 1 is 'Explore', then the regular season is 'Final'. Beyond just showing the house and the property, we're going to go deeper into how a millionaire has built his life and what value he shares. In particular, the spectrum of the cast is remarkably broad, so viewers can feel vividly that "Boo's faces are so diverse."

- Jang Ye-won's joining is noticeable because of the casting.

▶ Jang Ye-won combines empathy to open the other person's heart in an interview, bright and pleasant energy, and clarity of information delivery as an announcer. I judged that he was a perfect host for the harmony of the "Liberal Entertainment". Above all, the unique positive energy makes the site bright, adding vitality to the program.




- What do you expect from the Seo Jang-hoon x Jang Ye-won union.

▶ Seo Jang-hoon gets to the point with his intuitive and honest speech, and Jang Ye-won expands the story with delicate and warm empathy and reactions. I hope that the combination of these two will make your interview with a millionaire much richer.

- What kind of millionaires appear in the regular season.

▶ There are so many different spectrum characters. The location has become more colorful, and the scale of the rich has become much bigger than before. There are many characters who stimulate and surprise the imagination just by listening to them, such as the "King of the toilet" who contributed to saving 20 trillion won in national taxes, the "Modern Bongi Kim Sun-dal" who sells the sky and sells the land, and the "Undaunted Female CEO" who has grown a debt-ridden company into hundreds of billions of companies. In addition, millionaires with special relationships such as sisters, couples, and rich 父 will also appear together to capture the value of connecting families, fellowships, and generations beyond simple success stories.

- What was the most memorable episode during the casting process.

▶ Is it because the program started to be known little by little thanks to season 1? When I contact him, he says, "Ah! I know that show well. I enjoyed watching itThere were many millionaires who welcomed us first. Also, the community said, "This person must be introduced."In some cases, they contacted the production team directly saying ." I could feel that the program is increasingly gaining trust and establishing itself as a place where more and more people want to be together.

- Say something to the viewers.

▶ The millionaires in `My Neighbor Millionaires' aren't just making money, they've left their footprints on the world in their own way. I want to convey the realization that "Wow, there's a lot to learn" rather than the feeling of "I envy you". I don't think it's someone's bank account balance or house rank, but I think it's really 'richness' how he spends his day and what choices he has made in his life. I hope you can enjoy it with a smile and get a message that sticks in your mind at some point. Please don't miss the friendly and pleasant chemistry between Seo Jang-hoon and Jang Ye-won.
