The legendary sisters who created a "1 trillion won" legend through landscaping, designers Woo Kyung-mi and Woo Hyun-mi, will appear on 'The Millionaire Next Door.'
On Wednesday the 8th at 9:55 p.m., EBS' Seo Jang-hoon's The Millionaire Next Door' (hereinafter "The Millionaire Next Door") will, for the first time in the program's history, feature sister millionaires who will reveal the secrets of their life turnaround. The protagonists are the "golden-touch sisters of landscaping," designers Woo Kyung-mi and Woo Hyun-mi, who created a massive indoor park inside a department store and turned it into a hot-spot with annual sales of 1 trillion won. They oversee landscaping for top-tier buildings including that department store, E○MS, the NEX○ headquarters, and a premium outlet, and are called "living legends of Korea's landscaping world."
Despite 25 years of experience, the two, who said "our hearts still race and we still get excited," have not lost their passion and recently named as their most memorable project the film No Other Choice directed by Park Chan-wook and starring Lee Byung-hun and Son Ye-jin. The film's indoor and outdoor landscaping direction drew praise as "insane aesthetics" upon release and became a hot topic. The Millionaire Next Door will reveal everything the sisters had kept hidden, from the project's landscaping before and after, to the behind-the-scenes story of the department store's indoor park creation, and the sisters' unique design philosophy.
But behind this dazzling success was an unbelievable beginning. The sisters surprised everyone by confessing that when they started the business in 1999, "we began in a 3-pyeong space under the stairs."
Afterward, the two went through countless trials and failures and have grown into "real millionaires" who now own two buildings and a 2,000-pyeong headquarters with a garden. "Because I'm not good at speaking, I've lost presentations more than a hundred times so far," said Woo Hyun-mi, who revealed a painful past in which she once walked aimlessly for more than three hours after tasting defeat. Instead of giving up, they chose to challenge themselves and convey vividly how they won a major corporation's landscaping commission in just three minutes and how they turned failures into the nourishment for their '101st try after 100 failures' success story.
The real success story of Korea's representative landscaping designers, sisters Woo Kyung-mi and Woo Hyun-mi, will air on Wednesday, Oct. 8, at 9:55 p.m. on EBS' Seo Jang-hoon's The Millionaire Next Door.
