Kang Seung-gi, the "Treasure Industry Pioneer" who made Korea's first rap-grain diamond, tells a dramatic success story from taking a picture of the bottom of his life with a 30-carat diamond and then building 30 billion buildings again.

EBS's "Seo Jang-hoon's Neighborhood Millionaire," which will air at 9:55 p.m. on the 25th, will reveal the turbulent life story of Kang Seung-ki, who succeeded in developing a rap-grain diamond for the first time in Korea and the eighth time in the world. Lab-grained diamonds, called "modern alchemy," are artificially grown in laboratories, and have the same physical, chemical, and optical properties as natural diamonds, but are about a fifth of the price, shaking the game of the precious metal market at home and abroad. In this broadcast, the whole process from the birth of gemstones from wrap-grained diamond seeds to the completion of brilliant jewelry through elaborate cutting and polishing will be revealed in detail.

In the midst of this, Kang Seung-gi reveals the shocking past of standing on the edge of the cliff with a single "30-carat diamond." After being discharged from the military, he opened a gold and silver shop and made a lot of money at a young age, and after five years of opening, he entered Jongno, the mecca of precious metals, and continued his success. In the meantime, I heard that "someone wants to sell a huge diamond quietly" and secretly went to the trading position. Fascinated by the presence of 30-carat diamonds he encountered for the first time in his life, he eventually decided to purchase the debt for 400 million won. The diamond is the same size as soccer star Ronaldo's wedding ring, which drew attention for its super-sized size. However, just two months later, an unexpected incident broke out, leaving 400 million won in debt. Kang Seung-ki said, "I sold my house and car to pay off my debt. "I thought it was too easy to make money because my business was doing well at a young age," he recalls. The full story of the shocking incident that shook Kang Seung-ki's life is revealed through the broadcast.

Since then, Kang Seung-ki has made a dramatic comeback by earning the nickname "Sam○ of the jewelry industry" after a long struggle. In the early 2000s, it recorded more than 5 billion won in annual sales and made a spectacular leap forward by setting up its first office building in Seongbuk-dong, Seoul. Then one day, an unexpected company sale proposal came in, and he surprised the industry again by signing an all-time deal worth "8.9 billion won" that handed over not only the employment succession of employees but also a cafeteria spoon. Using this large-scale transaction as a stepping stone, he even built a diamond building worth 30 billion won, and he has a new dream to make "Korea's T○ni." The hidden story of Kang Seung-ki's legendary deal will also be revealed through the broadcast.

Meanwhile, in this broadcast, "40th-year jeweler" Kang Seung-ki will catch the eye by releasing a special collection he has collected so far. Seo Jang-hoon and Jang Ye-won continue to express admiration as a series of brilliant gems appear, including intense red ruby rings, deep blue sapphire rings, and mysterious emerald rings. In particular, Jang Ye-won tried on the rose gold crown herself and expressed her honest feelings, saying, "I'm not married yet, but I want to use it at my wedding." Seo Jang-hoon, who was watching this, makes people laugh with his reaction as if it was broken. At this time, Kang Seung-gi significantly explodes his curiosity by saying, "I have the largest and most precious gem I have ever obtained."
