Broadcaster Seo Jang-hoon meets 'The neighbor millionaire.'

On the 8th, a production briefing for EBS's new entertainment program 'Seo Jang-hoon's Neighbor Millionaire' was held at the National Press Club in the Korean Press Center in Jung-gu, Seoul.

'Seo Jang-hoon's Neighbor Millionaire' is a program where '2 trillion giant' Seo Jang-hoon visits 'real millionaires' who built wealth and success and explores their secrets. The 'theory of 2 trillion won wealth' Seo Jang-hoon and 'part-time level Congo prince' Jonathan are expected to team up for the first time on a fixed entertainment show.

Seo Jang-hoon is known to have actively contributed his opinions and invested his passion from the planning stage of the program. Notably, it is reported that Seo Jang-hoon's total property value from his owned buildings exceeds 70 billion won, and as various entertainment programs have raised the issue of the 'theory of 2 trillion won wealth,' interest in his appearance on 'The Neighbor Millionaire' is focusing.

Seo Jang-hoon said, “I usually watch EBS often. Since I host a lot of talkative programs, I watch calm programs at home, and EBS and E Channel proposed to create 'The Neighbor Millionaire' together. I thought there would be a lot for me to learn in various ways, so I decided to appear. I hope it becomes a representative program of EBS and E Channel.” He added, “I received the proposal around September last year, but at that time, I didn’t even know if the program was being made, and I try not to accept proposals if similar ones existed in the past. Other programs are great, but I believe viewers will feel that 'The Neighbor Millionaire' has a different tone when they see it directly.”

He continued, “I thought that there is something to learn from everyone, whether it is small success or big success. Great success stories will emerge. It’s not that they succeeded by using tricks or shortcuts, but they achieved great success by combining talent, effort, and persistence. As I always say, I believe that if people watch the program, it will be an opportunity for many to reconsider how we should live.” He added, “In interviews, I found it hard to gauge the amount of effort and hardships they overcame. I believe watching it will surely prompt viewers to think about many things.”

Producer Kim Min-ji noted, “We have Seo Jang-hoon appearing. He has a surprising charm. He meets ordinary people and sees through their hearts, and now he seems to have become a mentor. While he throws straight questions and coldly delivers them, he opens his heart with warm sincerity and consideration. The warmth that Seo Jang-hoon possesses, as well as the structure of natural conversation rather than debate or talk formats, is our virtue. EBS is strong in documentaries. The most important thing we focus on is creating videos that can be understood through in-depth and dense coverage when dealing with people. The production team goes beyond just visiting wealthy individuals and engages more time with them to understand how they live and what concerns they face, presenting it in a dense manner. In that aspect, viewers might feel it’s a completely different program.”

'The theory of 2 trillion won wealth' Seo Jang-hoon and 'the one who wants to be rich' Jonathan, the two who knock on the door of the rich without hesitation, will reveal the secrets of wealth and success on the 9th at 9:55 p.m. on EBS x E Channel's 'Seo Jang-hoon's Neighbor Millionaire.'
