Who does Seo Jang-hoon consider to be truly wealthy?
The October 9 broadcast of SBS's "My Genie Secretary" featured the secretary duo attending to their "My Star," Seo Jang-hoon.
That day, the secretaries drew attention by taking on their first-ever tour service for a "My Star." After recording the show, Seo Jang-hoon requested to go on a trip to Gangneung.
In response, the secretaries planned a Gangneung tour itinerary led by Lee Seo-jin, with Kim Kwang-kyu and Lee Seo-jin taking turns driving.
The first stop was a visit to Ojukheon. Lee Seo-jin drove along a scenic coastal road toward Ojukheon, while Seo Jang-hoon admired the magnificent landscape and looked out the window with eyes full of curiosity.
However, upon arriving with great anticipation, they found that Ojukheon was already closed. Seo Jang-hoon, who had hoped to see even the black bamboo, struggled to turn away in disappointment.
Just then, Kim Kwang-kyu spotted some black bamboo on the outside grounds. Seeing it, Seo Jang-hoon beamed with childlike excitement and said, "Oh, there's black bamboo."
Next, the secretaries and Seo Jang-hoon visited a seaside cafe at Gyeongpodae. Seo Jang-hoon stepped out onto the terrace, gazed at Gyeongpodae, and became lost in thought. He also drew attention by sharing that he had recently been reflecting on many things in order to spend the rest of his life well.
Lee Seo-jin, who has known Seo Jang-hoon for a long time, remarked about him, "After becoming an entertainer, his personality has toned down a lot." Seo Jang-hoon responded, "Part of it is that, but it's also because of age. I've become milder than when I was younger."
He then brought laughter by saying he is a warm "T" (Thinking personality type) with a different nuance from Lee Seo-jin, adding, "I filter things at least once."
The final stop was a raw fish restaurant. The group enjoyed a seafood feast at a place Lee Seo-jin had frequented for 25 years. Having his first meal of the day, Seo Jang-hoon drew attention with an enthusiastic seafood mukbang.
Looking quietly at Kim Kwang-kyu and Lee Seo-jin, Seo Jang-hoon showed a bewildered expression and said, "Kwang-kyu hyung is waiting on Seo-jin hyung more than me. I thought you said I was today's 'My Star'?" Kim Kwang-kyu brought laughter by answering, "I've lived my whole life like that."
Kim Kwang-kyu also worried about Seo Jang-hoon, who is always seen getting angry on television. He asked whether stress builds up when he goes home after filming those kinds of shows.
Seo Jang-hoon revealed his professionalism by explaining, "A lot of people worry, but I treat those people with sincerity as if they were my own family, and instead, I forget about it once it's over and I leave. I shake it off quickly and prepare for the next thing."
When asked what kind of person is truly wealthy, Seo Jang-hoon stated, "Someone with a genuinely broad mind, someone who is open-minded and relaxed. A person with a narrow mind might not remain wealthy for long."
To the same question, Lee Seo-jin drew nods of agreement by saying, "Someone who spends money well on me. That kind of person knows how to be generous not just to me, but to everyone." Meanwhile, Kim Kwang-kyu drew laughter by answering, "The truly wealthy person is Seo Jang-hoon."
Kim Kwang-kyu, who served Seo Jang-hoon that day, shared that all his previous preconceptions about Seo Jang-hoon had vanished, saying, "He still has childlike innocence and is like a tenderhearted boy."
Seo Jang-hoon created a heartwarming moment by adding, "It could have been a lonely shoot, but it was fun because the hyungs I like traveled all the way to Gangneung with me. If given the chance, I'd even want to wait on them instead."
