In the tvN STORY program ‘A Breakfast Worth 10 Billion Won’, Chairman Kim Young-ki, the head of a global health company that has written a success story with juicers, will appear.
In the fifth episode airing on the 20th, we will explore the success secrets of Chairman Kim Young-ki, a businessman worth 2 trillion won who developed the world's first juicer and established a global presence with his forward-thinking innovations. With exports to 80 countries worldwide, a cumulative sales volume of approximately 12.38 million units over 17 years, and a record cumulative sales amount of 2.18 trillion won, expectations are high for the 10 billion won daily life that Chairman Kim will showcase.
On this day, actress Jung I-rang makes a special appearance, and Dr. Oh Eun-young, along with actors Lee Yi-kyung and Jung I-rang, will visit Chairman Kim Young-ki's grand mansion, which is revealed for the first time on the show. The exterior resembles an entire art museum, and the vast yard, as well as the office that is the source of his invention ideas, a laboratory that showcases 51 years of invention history, and a tea room that rivals any café, are all spaces that Chairman Kim designed himself. It is said that the overwhelming scale of the chairman's home, reminiscent of a drama, left the three in awe.
Moreover, Chairman Kim Young-ki, who surprised Dr. Oh Eun-young, Lee Yi-kyung, and Jung I-rang with his solid physical fitness, will introduce his morning routine that helps him maintain his health at the age of 70. Waking up at 5 AM, he contemplates new ideas in his office, manages his fitness with a mix of strength and aerobic exercises, and spends time picking up fallen leaves in the garden to organize his complex thoughts. This meticulously filled morning routine is expected to reflect Chairman Kim's proactive life philosophy. Additionally, Dr. Oh Eun-young, Lee Yi-kyung, and Jung I-rang will preview Chairman Kim enjoying a healthy breakfast made from fresh fruits and vegetables, raising further curiosity.
Following this, Chairman Kim will share episodes from his childhood that reveal his inventor spirit, as well as the behind-the-scenes story of the successful development of the juicer after thousands of trials and errors. In particular, he will recount the story of how he carved metal by hand in pursuit of the best product, overcame unexpected business crises with his ingenuity as an inventor, and the bold reason behind choosing actress Lee Young-ae, who was famous as ‘a woman like oxygen’, as a promotional model. His journey of registering a remarkable 191 patents while dedicating his life to technology development will resonate deeply with the audience. Additionally, the romantic love story with his first and last love, his wife, and the pen pal letters exchanged during their early days are expected to enhance viewer engagement.
