Entrepreneur Who Built His Own Nation on 30,000 Pyeong in Jeju to Appear on 'Millionaire Next Door'

Kang Woo-hyun, dubbed the 'Modern-Day Bong Yi Kim Seon-dal' for establishing his own nation spanning 30,000 pyeong in Jeju, will be the first guest on the regular season of EBS's 'Millionaire Next Door' hosted by Seo Jang-hoon.

In the episode airing Wednesday at 9:55 PM, host Seo Jang-hoon and Jang Ye-won venture through a vast mountain path to reach Kang's domain. Upon arriving at the staggering 30,000 pyeong expanse, Seo exclaimed, 'It looks like a movie set,' while Jang described it as 'mysterious.'

Kang Woo-hyun, who introduced himself as someone who 'split the sky and sold it,' drew a comparison from Seo Jang-hoon to the legendary trickster Bong Yi Kim Seon-dal. His 'republic' is filled with artworks reminiscent of a colossal art museum, leaving the hosts captivated by its imaginative scale and unique design.

Kang is famously known for transforming the once-quiet Nami Island into a world-renowned tourist destination attracting 3 million visitors annually. Despite his immense success, he made the unconventional decision to leave it all behind and move to the barren lands of Jeju. The unpredictable millionaire's life story will unfold in the premiere episode of 'Millionaire Next Door.'
