Exciting stories will unfold, including rankings of female stock billionaires, comparisons of family traditions, and even MC Han Seung-yeon's review of her blind date with a member of a conglomerate.
Hosted by MC Lee Kyung-kyu, 'Modern Figures: Mr. Lee' is a talk show that unveils untold stories of individuals who have made significant marks in Korea's modern history through the witty remarks and interpretations of experts from various fields. Today's broadcast features image consultant Hong Soon-a, who has analyzed and coached the images of famous figures in Korea's political and business circles, as a special guest.
What are the desired conditions for daughters-in-law and sons-in-law from conglomerate families? According to a representative from a matchmaking agency specializing in conglomerates, the so-called 'prestigious professions' such as doctors, prosecutors, and lawyers are generally not favored by these families. Panelist Kim Tae-hyun, a lawyer, expressed his frustration, causing the filming location to erupt in laughter.
Additionally, Han Seung-yeon revealed that she had been on a blind date with an heir from a conglomerate, capturing everyone's attention. Along with Han Seung-yeon's hidden episodes, the real stories of conglomerate families that have not been disclosed until now will be aired.
Meanwhile, the rankings of the top three female billionaires in the country will also be revealed. Notably, all of them hail from the Samsung family, while the Hyundai family is notably absent from the top ten, raising questions. This absence is attributed to the patriarchal family tradition of Hyundai, which has limited women's participation in management.
Moreover, it has been reported that the Hyundai family has a 'seven commandments for daughters-in-law' emphasizing quiet support with directives such as 'always be humble' and 'attend family ceremonies even if the sky splits on the day of the ceremony.' In this context, it will also examine Mrs. Park Doo-eul, the wife of Samsung's founder Lee Byung-chul, who helped grow the corporations as the 'queen of support,' and Mrs. Byun Jung-seok, the wife of Hyundai's founder Chung Ju-yung.
