Kang Woo-hyun, the ‘modern-day Bong Yi Kim Seon-dal’ who established a 30,000-pyeong territory in Jeju Island, makes a grand appearance as the first protagonist of the regular season of ‘Seo Jang-hoon’s Neighbor Millionaire’.

Ahead of the first regular broadcast on the 17th at 9:55 PM, the EBS entertainment program ‘Seo Jang-hoon’s Neighbor Millionaire’ (hereinafter ‘Neighbor Millionaire’) revealed the protagonist of the first episode through a preview. The protagonist is none other than Kang Woo-hyun, the ‘billionaire who created Nami Island and established another country in Jeju’.

In the thick fog, Seo Jang-hoon and Jang Ye-won, who went to find him along a mountain road where the end was not in sight, could not hide their astonishment in front of the overwhelming scale of 30,000 pyeong. Seo Jang-hoon exclaimed, “It looks like a movie set,” while Jang Ye-won repeatedly expressed her amazement, saying, “It’s mysterious.” The soon-to-appear Kang Woo-hyun introduced himself by saying, “I sold the sky.” To this, Seo Jang-hoon remarked, “He seems like a modern-day Bong Yi Kim Seon-dal,” in astonishment.

The interior of Kang Woo-hyun’s ‘Republic’ that was revealed next was truly a marvel in itself. The space, created with boundless imagination, was filled with works reminiscent of a gigantic art museum, and its overwhelming scale and unique composition left Seo Jang-hoon and Jang Ye-won spellbound.

Seo Jang-hoon ultimately asked the essential question, “What on earth do you do?” to which Kang Woo-hyun calmly replied, “Have you heard of Nami Island?” In fact, he was the one who transformed the once-quiet Nami Island into a ‘global tourist destination’ attracting 3 million visitors annually. However, after achieving an unexpected miraculous success, Kang Woo-hyun suddenly decided to leave everything behind and head to the wilderness of Jeju Island.

What could be the reason for this shocking choice? The life story of the ‘unpredictable billionaire’ Kang Woo-hyun, who is different from the rest, will be revealed in the first broadcast of the regular season of EBS ‘Seo Jang-hoon’s Neighbor Millionaire’ on September 17 at 9:55 PM.
