‘Toilet King’ Park Hyun-soon is revealed to be a hidden hero who saved a staggering ‘20 trillion won’ of national budget with the country’s first patented technology. Furthermore, he proposes ‘joint development of toilets’ to Seojanghoon, hinting at an unprecedented meeting.
On the 24th at 9:55 PM, EBS’s ‘Seojanghoon’s Neighbor Millionaire’ (hereafter ‘Neighbor Millionaire’) will showcase the tumultuous life story of Park Hyun-soon, the man who became a ‘100 billion won billionaire’ with just one toilet, capturing not only the domestic market but also the continent. Currently, he is attracting attention by revealing his recent activities, including the establishment of a ‘Toilet Kingdom’ spanning 15,000 pyeong, complete with exhibition and experience spaces, as he realizes another dream.
In particular, the revelation of ‘20 trillion won saved from national funds’ in this broadcast will astonish everyone. In the past, Korean toilets consumed 13-14 liters of water per use. After dedicating two years to developing water-saving technology, Park Hyun-soon succeeded in creating the country’s first 6-liter water-saving toilet in 1994. With this innovative invention, he quickly became a star in the industry and seized the opportunity to sit on a fortune by receiving a utility model registration certificate in 1997.
However, Park Hyun-soon surprised the world once again by boldly sharing his patented technology for the sake of national water resource conservation. His great invention that protects the environment, along with his decision for the benefit of all rather than himself, garnered praise from the world. Upon hearing this, MC Jang Ye-won couldn’t hide her admiration, saying, “He was an amazing person...” The reason Park Hyun-soon was able to make such a challenging choice as a businessman can be confirmed in detail through the ‘Neighbor Millionaire’ broadcast.
Meanwhile, this broadcast adds fun with the ‘unexpected chemistry’ between Park Hyun-soon and Seojanghoon. When Seojanghoon, who confessed to having a ‘toilet phobia’, passionately discusses the issues with urinals, Park Hyun-soon unexpectedly suggests, “Then let’s try joint development.” Seojanghoon responds, “I’m always thinking about toilets, so I think we’re a perfect match,” turning the scene into a sea of laughter. Expectations rise for what results will come from the extraordinary combination of ‘the man who has made toilets for 40 years’ Park Hyun-soon and ‘the man who thinks about toilets all day’ Seojanghoon.
