'Seo Jang-hoon's Neighbor Millionaire' Millanonna confessed that she received an annual salary of over 100 million won 30 years ago.
On the broadcast of 'Seo Jang-hoon's Neighbor Millionaire' (hereinafter 'Neighbor Millionaire'), co-produced by EBS and E Channel on the 21st, 'the coolest grandmother in South Korea' Millanonna Jang Myung-sook granted her appearance.
On that day, Millanonna opened up, saying, “My father was conservative. He said a woman alone can't study abroad and he didn't want a foreign son-in-law. So, he said he would support my study abroad if I got married. Since this is a story from 50 years ago, the societal paradigm we see now is unimaginable from that time.”
After getting married, she set off on her study abroad journey with her husband. Millanonna entered the dream city of Milan and studied at a world-renowned fashion school, but while raising two sons, she drifted away from her path as a fashion designer.
Regarding this, she noted, “My dream was always to study abroad, become a designer, and own a boutique. Now, I don't regret it at all. I lived much more diversely, got married, had two sons, and I’ve experienced a variety of lives.”
After returning to Korea, Millanonna was involved in university lectures, stage costumes for the National Theater and the National Gugak Center, and served as a consultant for large fashion companies. She noted, “Even without seeking it out, work came to me. After I designed for one event, another opportunity would come.”
Then, Jonathan asked, “What was the salary back then?” Millanonna replied, “Why are you asking about my salary from 30 years ago?” but she then confessed that she received more than 100 million won. Seo Jang-hoon, upon hearing this, explained, “To give you an idea, the signing bonus for the best player in our country back then was about 100 million won. You received a significantly high payment.”
