"I'm not even the husband." 'Stone Buddha' Seo Jang-hoon was even disarmed by the "pure white bride" Jang Ye-won's wedding dress reveal.
On the 22nd at 9:55 p.m., EBS Seo Jang-hoon's Millionaire Next Door will feature 'wedding millionaire' Shin Sang-soo, whose annual sales reached as much as 50 billion won, revealing his tumultuous success story.
Shin Sang-soo is a living legend of Korea's wedding industry, having brightened as many as 50,000 weddings over the past 30 years. At his peak he ran seven banquet halls and three wedding dress shops simultaneously, securing an unrivaled position. In particular, he is the head of a 'dress house' that has been responsible not only for ordinary weddings but also for the awards ceremony dresses of top Korean actresses such as Kim Ji-won, Park Ji-hyun, Jang Yoon-ju, Jung Eun-Chae and Cho Yeojeong, sharing many stars' brightest moments.
In a recent recording, Seo Jang-hoon and Jang Ye-won visited Shin Sang-soo's massive wedding dress shop in Gangnam-gu, Seoul. The seven-story, 300-pyeong building, designed in collaboration by world-renowned designer Paul Smith and architect Kim Chan-joong, radiated an overwhelming aura from its snow-white exterior.
Entranced by the lavish parade of dresses displayed inside the shop, Jang Ye-won even went on a 'wedding dress tour,' realizing a long-held romantic dream. Meanwhile, Seo Jang-hoon, who was sitting alone resting at a distance, was hit with concentrated fire from the on-site staff, who said, "Why are you just sitting there?" and "Pick with her a little." In response, Seo Jang-hoon protested, "I'm not even the husband, so why am I picking wedding dresses with her?" provoking laughter with his characteristic bickering chemistry.
A moment later, when the veil was lifted and Jang Ye-won appeared in a pure white wedding dress, the studio filled with exclamations. Shin Sang-soo repeatedly pressed the camera shutter, praising, "Ye-won has become a work of art. She looks like a Greek goddess." At first, the 'Stone Buddha' Seo Jang-hoon, awkwardly asking "Should we applaud?", showed a tsundere reaction, saying, "It feels like watching a commercial shoot," but when Jang Ye-won appeared in the second dress he couldn't hide a delighted smile, warming the scene.
Meanwhile, that day Shin Sang-soo attracted attention by sharing the interesting marriage superstition that "if you try on a wedding dress in advance, you must get married within three years." Jang Ye-won replied, "That seems to be true. I received the bouquet from athlete Lee Sang-hwa in the past and still haven't married. This time I'll really do my best," delivering a bittersweet resolve that left the set in laughter.
