'Toilet king' Park Hyun-soon is revealed as a hidden hero who saved a staggering "20 trillion won" of the national budget with the country's first patented technology. He even proposes "joint toilet development" to Seo Jang-hoon, promising a historic meeting. Today (24th) at 9:55 p.m., EBS's Seo Jang-hoon's Neighbor Millionaire (hereinafter "Neighbor Millionaire") will air, telling the turbulent life story of Park Hyun-soon, the man who became a "100 billion-won" millionaire from a single toilet and the head of a bathroom specialty brand that conquered not only the country but the continent. He is currently creating a 15,000-pyeong "toilet kingdom," operating an exhibition hall and experience spaces, revealing his recent life as he pursues another dream. The behind-the-scenes story of "saving 20 trillion won of national funds" revealed in this episode astonishes everyone. In the past, Korea's two-piece toilets consumed 13 to 14 liters of water per use. Park Hyun-soon devoted himself to developing water-saving technology for two years and in 1994 succeeded in developing the country's first 6-liter water-saving toilet. With this innovative invention, he instantly became a star in the industry, and in 1997 he even received a utility model registration certificate, seizing a chance to sit on a fortune. However, Park Hyun-soon surprised the world again by boldly sharing his patented technology for the sake of the nation's water resources. The great invention that protected the environment and his decision for the public over himself drew widespread praise. MC Jang Ye-won, upon hearing this, could not help but exclaim, "What an incredible person..." The broadcast of Neighbor Millionaire will provide detailed insight into why Park Hyun-soon, as a businessman, was able to make such a difficult choice.
Meanwhile, the unexpected chemistry between Park Hyun-soon and Seo Jang-hoon adds to the fun in this episode. When Seo Jang-hoon, who confessed to "toilet phobia," passionately criticized the problems with urinals, Park Hyun-soon made an impromptu suggestion, "Then let's try joint development." Seo Jang-hoon replied, "Because I'm someone who always thinks about toilets, the boss and I are a perfect match," turning the set into a sea of laughter. Expectations are rising about what results the extraordinary pairing of "the man who made toilets for 40 years" Park Hyun-soon and "the man who thinks about toilets all day" Seo Jang-hoon will produce.
