'Seo Jang-hoon's My Neighbor the Millionaire' visits the home of Park Dong-hoon, a 'Chungmu-ro legend' who rose from a middle school dropout and ragpicker to build an advertising agency with annual sales of 10 billion won. From the identity of the 'worldwide limited to 200 units' TV once collected by Hallyu star Bae Yong-joon to the heartwarming story behind his estrangement from his daughters, the program will captivate viewers.

'Seo Jang-hoon's My Neighbor the Millionaire,' airing tonight (24th) at 9:55 p.m. on EBS, shines a light on the desperate life turnaround of Park Dong-hoon, the 'success story of Chungmu-ro' who ran an advertising company for 40 years and achieved annual sales of 10 billion won. Park grew his one-person company, started with just 2 million won, into a firm with 100 employees, enjoying a brilliant peak period. Now, he is creating seven street art galleries across Chungmu-ro and embarking on another challenge as a 'street art gallery planner.' In particular, this broadcast reveals his special project that transformed neglected spaces, from areas covered in trash to leftover plots of land along roads, into cultural playgrounds for citizens, capturing public attention.

Meanwhile, when Seo Jang-hoon and Jang Ye-won visit Park Dong-hoon's home, they cannot take their eyes off the massive TV in the center of the living room. This 103-inch TV, towering over Seo Jang-hoon's height, makes a powerful statement with its overwhelming size. Regarding this, Park Dong-hoon explains, "I understand it was produced in a limited run of only 200 units worldwide and sold to just one celebrity per Na Ra-reul (CEO)." Adding to the surprise, it is revealed that the first buyer in Korea was actor Bae Yong-joon. Park shares the behind-the-scenes story: "I purchased it after Bae Yong-joon used it and put it up for sale when he moved." Attention turns to the identity of this limited-edition, oversized TV, which holds both rarity and a special story.

Moving to the kitchen, Park Dong-hoon says, "I'd like to be evaluated for my sharp palate," and presents his signature dish, "A Man's Cooking." Initially skeptical, Seo Jang-hoon, upon hearing it could be completed in just seven minutes, later exclaims, "I had no expectations, but it's incredibly delicious," marveling at the unbelievable quality. The identity of the "devilishly delicious 7-minute cooking" that even captivated the "ultra-sensitive judge" Seo Jang-hoon, known for his demanding palate, and the interior of Park Dong-hoon's home, dubbed "romantic fatality," will be revealed on the broadcast.

However, behind Park Dong-hoon's glamorous home and dazzling success lies a heartbreaking past. Currently living alone in this house, Park Dong-hoon reveals an unexpected story: "I once deleted all my daughters' phone numbers." He grew up alone with his maternal grandmother in the foothills of Jirisan in Sancheong, Gyeongnam, and moved to Seoul after middle school to attend high school. However, due to his family's difficult financial situation, he had to drop out of high school and made a living by collecting discarded items from the streets. His deep desire to continue his education, which he had to give up due to lack of tuition, led him to vow after marrying and having two daughters, "I will take full responsibility for my children's education until the end." Under the belief that "after their education is complete, I will be a good friend rather than a father," he deleted his daughters' contact information and cut off all financial support after they graduated from university.
