Broadcaster Seo Jang-hoon is firmly holding the center of ‘The Millionaire Next Door’ based on his experience as a leading counselor.He is a true expert in sayings in ‘The Millionaire Next Door’, with people acknowledging him as a ‘language alchemist’ from the first meeting, captivated by his delicate speaking skills.

Here, as the host of ‘The Millionaire Next Door’, I have selected the top 3 quotes that will remain in my memory for a long time.

● ‘Work’ is the process of confirming the value of my existence.(4 times)

The ‘Cosmetics Young & Rich’ millionaire section featured a man who has paved his own path, such as the first male cosmetics store part-timer and the first male beauty power blogger in Korea, showing off his extraordinary energy in cosmetics.When asked why he continues to work despite having achieved ‘financial freedom’, Seo Jang-hoon’s story caught the eye after hearing his answer, “Since things progress because of me, it feels good when(I)am there and when I’m not there.”

After listening to the millionaire’s story, Seo Jang-hoon added, “Work is a process of confirming the value of my existence.If I can consistently prove that I am influencing something, it will become the ‘driving force’ that moves me forward.” He clearly organized his thoughts and made the listeners nod their heads.

● Think of it as selling ‘culture’.(6th)

In the episode of ‘Soju Company’ millionaire, who started out as a large company engineer, then a mobile value-added service provider, and then the chairman of a local soju company, the story was told of how he did not settle for the present but steadily pushed forward with ‘perseverance’ to practice shared values and create a culture with soju as a local company.In the episode that day, all the cast members were shown walking the ‘Hwangtoetgil’ without socks, and it turned out that the millionaire was the one who created the longest Hwangtoetgil in Korea and practiced shared values as a local company by making it a ‘holy land for barefoot walking’.

On the other hand, a millionaire from a soju company who broke the established rules and took on challenges with reverse thinking to develop the company told an anecdote that said, “Let’s think of ourselves as selling a commodity, not alcohol, whether it’s 10 or 20 years.” Seo Jang-hoon then drew attention by revealing that when he was asked about ways to revive basketball, he once said, “If nothing else works, establishing a culture comes first.” He mentioned that he and the chairman had the same philosophy.

● It is a mistake to think that you can work less if you get paid more.(9th)
