Jo Jung-gyu, a 'serial entrepreneur' who generated up to 100 billion won in annual revenue, shares his story of successfully running seven businesses.
In the EBS program 'Seo Jang-hoon's Millionaire Next Door,' airing at 9:55 p.m. on July 1, the tumultuous entrepreneurial journey and unique success philosophy of 'serial entrepreneur' Jo Jung-gyu, who says he does everything profitable except bad things, will be unveiled.
Jo Jung-gyu is currently operating seven businesses simultaneously, including restaurants, events, marketing, design, rentals, and a konjac factory, with annual revenue reaching up to 100 billion won. Notably, he has gained recognition as a 'marketing genius' by successively executing major projects such as the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup, the BTS comeback drone show, and large-scale auto expos.
Capable of generating 2 billion won in revenue from a single event, he states, "I am among the top five in the event industry," expressing his unique pride.

Meanwhile, Seo Jang-hoon and Jang Ye-won visit Jo Jung-gyu's residence in Pyeongchang-dong, where an overwhelmingly high wall immediately captures attention. As they enter the spacious terrace, which resembles a sports field and elicits admiration from the start, Seo Jang-hoon, upon entering the living room, exclaims, "It looks like a truly wealthy household only seen in dramas," unable to hide his surprise. In particular, upon seeing a kitchen with no storage whatsoever, a refrigerator meticulously organized with knife blocks, and a neatly labeled pantry, Seo Jang-hoon repeatedly closes his mouth in awe.
Next, taking the elevator inside the house to the lower floor reveals a private hobby space where one can enjoy both exercise and sauna treatments simultaneously. As they tour the dedicated parking lot, which resembles an automobile showroom, Jang Ye-won asks, "Do you drive a different car depending on your mood that day?" eliciting another round of laughter.
Most notably, this broadcast draws attention by revealing the special school days connection between Jo Jung-gyu and Seo Jang-hoon. Jo Jung-gyu piques curiosity with a meaningful remark to Seo Jang-hoon: "Have you ever seen me before?" It turns out that Jo was a year senior to Seo in middle school. Seo Jang-hoon recalls, "I transferred schools midway, so we probably attended school together for about 9 to 10 months." In response, Jo Jung-gyu says, "I was in the student leadership department at the time," recalling memories of encountering Seo Jang-hoon every morning in front of the school gate.
