Dr. Oh Eun-young, a psychiatrist and ‘national mentor’ who provides precise solutions to life issues such as childcare, marriage, and divorce, takes a look into the lives of successful people this time.

He will be the host of the new tvN STORY entertainment program ‘Breakfast Worth 100 Million Won’, which will air for the first time on the 20th, and will work with Lee Yi-kyung.

The program is a talk show that looks into the lives of successful people in their fields, such as businesspeople who move the Republic of Korea and self-made people, by spending time with them in the morning. Dr. Oh and Lee Yi-kyung meet them from the moment they open their eyes, have breakfast together, and learn about their daily habits and secrets to success.

Dr. Oh has mainly appeared in programs that look into people with various problems and provide them with solutions. This time, he will be the MC and listen to their stories.

PD Park, who is in charge of directing the program, attended the production presentation held online that morning and said, “The people who appear are people who are hard to meet, and they are not broadcasters. So we thought, ‘Would they meet us? Would they want to tell us their secrets?’ When we thought about who everyone, including them, would want to meet, there weren‘t many people other than Ms. Oh Eun-young. Don’t they all want to meet the CEOs of large corporations, actors, parents, and people who live alone? We set out only trusting Ms. Oh Eun-young.”

Lee Ah said, “It‘s a challenge for us, but it must have been a challenge for Ms. Oh Eun-young as well. There are many programs that present solutions, but she must have thought it was a new challenge to fulfill her role as an MC. We will be able to meet the Oprah Winfrey of Korea.”

Dr. Oh said, “I didn’t think much about it when I received the offer to do it together,” and added, “We learn from many people in many places. We learn not only from school, academy, and home, but also from the lives of others who are not our family.”

He then explained the reason for appearing, saying, “Curious about other people‘s lives is a basic interest in human sociality. I thought that if we can actively apply positive interest in other people’s lives to ourselves rather than passively looking at them, it would give us the strength to endure living in this difficult world.”
