The exterior, reminiscent of an entire art museum, as well as the vast yard, the office that is the source of invention ideas, a lab that glimpses 51 years of invention footsteps, and a tea room that rivals any café, are all spaces personally designed by Kim Young-ki. It is said that the three were in awe of the overwhelming scale of the chairman's house, which felt like something out of a drama.
Moreover, Kim Young-ki, who possesses a sturdy physique that astonished Dr. Oh Eun-young, Lee Yi-kyung, and Jeong I-rang, introduces his morning routine that allows him to maintain his health at the age of 70. Waking up at 5 a.m., pondering new ideas in his office, he manages his physical fitness through a workout that mixes strength and aerobic exercises, and takes time to collect fallen leaves in the garden to organize his thoughts. His meticulously scheduled morning routine is expected to showcase Kim Young-ki's proactive life philosophy. Additionally, Dr. Oh Eun-young, Lee Yi-kyung, and Jeong I-rang are set to witness Kim Young-ki enjoying a healthy breakfast made from freshly squeezed juice of fruits and vegetables, adding to the curiosity.
Following this, Kim Young-ki shares behind-the-scenes stories of the juicer's development, which succeeded after thousands of trials and errors, starting with childhood episodes rich in inventiveness. Particularly, he recounts the story of how he physically carved metal by hand under the determination to invent the best product, overcame unexpected business crises with the ingenuity of an inventor, and the reason he boldly chose actress Lee Young-ae, who was gaining fame as "a woman like oxygen," as the promotional model. His life dedicated to technology development, having registered as many as 191 patents, is said to leave a profound impact on the scene. Moreover, the romantic love story with his first and last love, his wife, who endured hardships with him, along with pen pal letters exchanged during those times, is expected to draw viewers in.
