‘Seo Jang-hoon’s The Millionaire Next Door’, co-produced by EBS and E Channel, which will air for the first time at 9:55 PM on the 9th (Wednesday), is a program that visits ‘real rich people’ who have achieved wealth and success and explores their secrets. It will take an in-depth look into the life stories, thoughts, and philosophy of money of the rich, and will provide practical guidance to many who are contemplating the direction of their lives.

In the meantime, the first journey of Seo Jang-hoon and Jonathan to find a millionaire has been revealed. The place the two of them visit, passing through snow-covered mountain paths, reveals a huge kingdom of a millionaire with 22 houses on a whopping 10,000 pyeong of land. The scale of the house was beyond imagination, to the point that you had to ride a cart to move around.

Next, Lee Sang-il appeared, dominating the attention with his elegant fashion and intense force with white hair. Lee Sang-il, the first ‘1st generation male hair designer’ in Korea, was famous as the hair designer for top stars of the time, including Shin Sung-il, Kim Wan-sun, and Jang Dong-gun. It was even more surprising to find out that the symbolic pigtails of the Andre Kim fashion show, represented by top actress Kim Tae-hee, were also his work. Lee Sang-il said, “Being a millionaire is nothing special. If you do your best at your job, you will be fine,” he said, revealing his beliefs about wealth and success.

At the end of the video, Seo Jang-hoon asked a crucial question, “What are you going to do with all this wealth?” Lee Sang-il gave a meaningful laugh. The story about Lee Sang-il’s enormous wealth will be revealed in the first episode of ‘The Millionaire Next Door’, which airs at 9:55 PM on the 9th.

The definition of a truly affluent life as told by the rich, ‘Seo Jang-hoon’s Millionaire Next Door’, will premiere on Wednesday, April 9th at 9:55 PM on EBS x E Channel.
