The main character of the regular season of 'Neighbor's Millionaires', which premiered on the 17th, was CEO Kang Woo-hyun, the main character of 'Nami Island Success Myth'. From an unsuspecting boy to a top designer to an environmental activist, his turbulent life story unfolds, and his strong values of `I like money but I don't chase money' resonate heavily in the master bedroom.
The broadcast announced a pleasant start with a viewership rating of 1.5% (Nilson Korea, based on paid households). The highest ratings per minute soared to 1.93%, and immediately after the broadcast, the combination of Seo Jang-hoon and Jang Ye-won was fresh", "Kang Woo-hyun's life was more dramatic than a documentary.", "The philosophy of pursuing value over money was like a real millionaire." was well received.
Kang Woo-hyun is a former top designer who created the 'Thumbsup Bank' logo and 'Guacheon Land' mascot and revived Nami Island, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, as a tourist attraction of 3.3 million people annually under the condition of '100 won a month'. Jeju also surprised the world once again by setting up a '30,000 pyeong republic' utilizing discarded garbage. Even Seo Jang-hoon burst into admiration at the passion that did not cool down even after the age of 70.
Meanwhile, expectations are rising that Park Hyun-soon's story will air next week. EBS 'Seo Jang-hoon's Neighborhood Millionaires' airs every Wednesday at 9:55 p.m.
