'From a successful construction company CEO with 40 billion won in monthly sales to the man who changed lives as the 'dog wheelchair The Man from Nowhere' who made 10,000 dogs walk again, Lee Cheol's moving story will be revealed on Seo Jang-hoon's Neighboring Millionaire.'
Today (8th) at 9:55 p.m., EBS' Seo Jang-hoon's Neighboring Millionaire will reveal the tumultuous life story of Lee Cheol, a 15-year veteran 'dog wheelchair The Man from Nowhere' who has gifted countless lives the miracle of walking again by manufacturing dog wheelchairs and support devices. His dedication, which measures, designs and crafts the entire process entirely by hand while carefully considering each dog's different body shape, gait and disability, is moving in itself. So far, the support devices he has made total as many as 10,000. More than simple tools, his wheelchairs, which become 'legs' that help dogs move toward the world again, contain his sincere care and time devoted to each life.
In particular, this episode reveals Lee Cheol's unusual career changes and captures attention. In his 20s, he entered the real estate industry and prospered to the extent that he could buy two Gangnam houses a year, driving a top-of-the-line sedan that was then a symbol of wealth as a successful businessman. About this, he calmly recalls his glamorous past, saying, "When I started making money, I became vain." When Seo Jang-hoon said, "At that rate you would have become very rich quickly," Lee Cheol revealed the pivotal event that changed his life entirely with the cryptic remark, "Maybe if I had continued, I would have." One day after returning home from a company dinner, he heard that a family had taken extreme measures because they did not have a 3 million won deposit, and from that day his life began to take a completely different direction. His bitter confession, "I hated myself so much," can be seen on the broadcast.
After that, having reached another peak by writing the myth of 40 billion won in monthly sales in construction, he began a completely different life when he bought a dog wheelchair in Japan for his pet born with a congenital deformity, 'Iseul.' After losing Iseul, he encountered shelter dogs through the used dog wheelchair he put up for sale, and witnessing the moment a small wheel changed their lives evoked an indescribable emotion in him. Determined that "we cannot leave these animals alone," he entered the then-rare business of developing dog support devices in Korea. After numerous trials and errors, he finally became the 'guardian angel of sick dogs.' The eventful story of how Lee Cheol succeeded as a dog wheelchair maker, and the moving narrative contained in his final dream that made everyone cry, will air on Wed., April 8 at 9:55 p.m. on EBS' Seo Jang-hoon's Neighboring Millionaire.
