[Seoul=RNX News] Reporter Kim Ye-eun = Chairman Yuk Kwang-sim, who rose to millionaire status by starting from a small cooking school to establishing the country’s largest hotel school, will make a full appearance on ‘Neighbor Millionaire’.
On the broadcast of EBS ‘Seojanghoon’s Neighbor Millionaire’ (hereinafter ‘Neighbor Millionaire’) on the 12th (Wednesday) at 9:55 p.m., Chairman Yuk Kwang-sim, who is running four schools from the largest hotel school in the country to a middle and high school in Yesan, Chungnam, will reveal his life’s journey from starting empty-handed to being called a ‘school millionaire’.
“My goal was to own a building. I started buying them one by one from the side,” Chairman Yuk Kwang-sim opens with an unconventional introduction, inviting Seojanghoon and Jang Yewon to a Japanese restaurant in a certain building.
This Japanese restaurant was a special room where students from Chairman Yuk Kwang-sim’s ‘Hotel School’ directly practiced and sold their creations.
Seojanghoon and Jang Yewon were served the ‘Chef’s Special Sushi’ prepared by extremely tense trainees who even forgot to bring out the soy sauce dishes.
Seojanghoon said, “I’m not a food expert, but as a former athlete, I ate a lot of good things from a young age. My taste is really… terrible. I’ll taste it and give a proper evaluation,” he said boldly.
In response, Jang Yewon said, “It’s a relief that you know,” nodding and bringing laughter. Seojanghoon’s harsh evaluation of the sushi made by hotel school students will be revealed in the main broadcast.
Meanwhile, Chairman Yuk Kwang-sim, who is nurturing talents in a total of 10 departments, including the Hotel Culinary Department and the Hotel Management Department, presented a ‘life tuition fee’ of a whopping ‘6 billion KRW’, surprising with a large amount of money seen after a long time.
He confessed, “The building where the two of you ate sushi was bought for 6 billion KRW for the first time,” revealing that he became a building owner worth 6 billion KRW at the young age of 37 in 2003.
When asked if he was a ‘golden spoon’, Chairman Yuk Kwang-sim revealed, “I was a normal country boy born in a remote mountain, dreaming of being a ‘goat ranch owner’.
Starting with nothing, Chairman Yuk Kwang-sim’s spirit of challenge and endless effort, who came to buy a hotel worth about 65 billion KRW as an educational space for students, and his life philosophy on education will be revealed in detail in this broadcast.
