Toilet King Park Hyun-soon Revealed as Hero Who Saved National Budget of ₩20 Trillion, Proposes Joint Development with Seo Jang-hoon

Dubbed the 'Toilet King,' Park Hyun-soon is unveiled as a hidden hero who saved the nation's budget a staggering ₩20 trillion with his patented technology.

This evening's episode of EBS's 'Seo Jang-hoon's Millionaire Neighbor' (tentative title), airing at 9:55 PM KST, will feature the remarkable life story of Park Hyun-soon, the CEO of a bathroom brand who became a billionaire through toilets. He currently manages a 'toilet kingdom' spanning 15,000 pyeong, complete with exhibition halls and experience zones, realizing another dream.

The episode will delve into the behind-the-scenes story of how his innovation led to a ₩20 trillion national budget saving. Previously, South Korean toilets consumed 13-14 liters of water per flush. After two years dedicated to developing water-saving technology, Park successfully created the nation's first 6-liter low-flush toilet in 1994. This groundbreaking invention instantly made him an industry star, and he received a utility model registration in 1997. However, he chose to generously share his patented technology for the nation's water conservation efforts, astonishing the public once more.

Furthermore, the broadcast highlights an unexpected chemistry between Park Hyun-soon and MC Seo Jang-hoon. When Seo, who confessed to having a 'toilet phobia,' passionately discussed the issues with urinals, Park boldly proposed joint development. Seo humorously responded that he is 'a person who thinks only of toilets all day,' deeming them a perfect match, much to the audience's amusement. Anticipation is high for the collaboration between the 'man who has made toilets for 40 years' and the 'man who thinks only of toilets all day.'

Park Hyun-soon's 'toilet kingdom,' spanning 15,000 pyeong, now includes exhibition halls and experience spaces, transforming his business into a cultural hub. His invention was born from a deep concern for environmental protection. He demonstrated a core value system that prioritized the public good of water conservation over personal profit. His decision to share his technology underscored his commitment to collective well-being.
