Park Hyun-soon, a businessman who built a fortune of 100 billion won (approximately $80 million USD) through toilet sales, is set to appear on EBS's 'Neighboring Millionaire'.

He will share his incredible rags-to-riches story, starting as a penniless young man in his early twenties who sold over 2 million toilets in 40 years, conquering markets in Korea and China.

The show will feature an exclusive look at Park's ambitious 15,000-pyeong (approximately 50,000 sq ft) 'Toilet Kingdom'. This includes a transformed old toilet factory into a diverse exhibition space, a football-shaped toilet created to cheer on Son Heung-min, and a staggering five-story 'toilet tower' made from 1,000 units.

Viewers can anticipate unexpected entertainment, including host Seo Jang-hoon's confession of his 'toilet phobia' and the reveal of Park's 800 bank accounts accumulated over four decades. Seo was reportedly shocked upon seeing amounts reaching 1.1 billion won (approximately $850,000 USD) in some accounts.

Park Hyun-soon's inspiring success journey and unique story will be broadcast on 'Neighboring Millionaire' on the 24th.

Park Hyun-soon has written a success story with the single item of toilets for over 40 years. Beyond just selling toilets, he has demonstrated creative business expansion capabilities, such as creating exhibition spaces utilizing old factories. His success story serves as a prime example of the importance of continuous challenging spirit and business acumen.
