Girl group Kara member Han Seung Yeon confessed that she went on a blind date with a child of a chaebol family.
Today (the 28th) at 10 PM, TV CHOSUN‘s 〈Modern People’s History Mr. Lee〉 will highlight the lives of women from chaebol families in South Korea. Exciting stories will unfold, including the ranking of female stock riches, comparison of chaebol family traditions, and even MC Han Seung Yeon‘s experience with a blind date with a chaebol family.
〈Modern People’s History Mr. Lee〉, hosted by Lee Kyung Kyu, is a talk show that tells previously unknown stories of people who made their mark on modern and contemporary Korean history through the witty banter and interpretations of experts from various fields. Today‘s broadcast will feature Hong Soon-ah, an image consultant who has analyzed and coached the images of famous figures in politics and business in Korea, as a special guest.
What are the conditions for a daughter-in-law or son-in-law of a conglomerate? According to a matchmaking company official who arranged for conglomerate families, so-called ‘sassy’ occupations such as doctors, prosecutors, and lawyers who are generally preferred by conglomerate families are not welcomed. Panelist lawyer Kim Tae-hyun burst into tears and became angry, making the set burst into laughter. Han Seung-yeon also caught everyone’s attention when she revealed, “I went on a blind date with a child of a conglomerate family.” Along with Han Seung-yeon‘s hidden story, the real story of a conglomerate family that has never been revealed before will be revealed.
Meanwhile, the top 3 richest women in Korea will also be revealed. The fact that they are all from the Samsung family caught the eye, but unlike them, the Hyundai family’s name was not even in the top 10, which piqued curiosity. This is because, compared to Samsung, Hyundai has limited women‘s participation in management due to the influence of patriarchal family culture. Furthermore, it was surprising to learn that Hyundai even has the ‘7 Commandments for Daughters-in-Law’, which includes “Always be humble”, “Attend the ancestral rites even if the sky splits in two”, in an atmosphere that emphasizes daughters-in-law being faithful to their roles in the family and being quiet supporters.
In the midst of all this, we will also look at Park Du-eul, wife of Samsung founder Lee Byung-chul, and Byun Jung-seok, wife of Hyundai founder Chung Ju-young, who helped the growth of the two companies as the ‘Queen of Supporters’.
