Seo Jang-hoon has drawn the line on rumors that he is a chaebol worth 2 trillion won.
The October 9 broadcast of SBS's "Whatever You Need Genie - My Genie Secretary" (hereinafter "My Genie Secretary") showed the secretaries attending to their "My Star," Seo Jang-hoon.
On this day, the secretaries headed to Gangneung, where the filming for their "My Star" was taking place. Kim Kwang-gyu drew attention by referring to Seo Jang-hoon as a "daegam-manim" (lord) and remarking, "You have so much wealth, yet you live so diligently, with your fortune in the hundreds of billions of won."
To this, Seo Jang-hoon snapped, "Where do I have hundreds of billions of won?" and mentioned that he currently owns three buildings, adding meaningfully, "They all have their own difficulties."
Seo Jang-hoon then explained that he had become known as a "2-trillion-won chaebol" due to Kim Heechul's joke, saying, "Do you know how many people in our country have 2 trillion won? There are 35 people."
Kim Kwang-gyu then joked, "Does Jang-hoon belong in that group? Wow, what an incredible person." Seo Jang-hoon drew the line, stating it was not true: "Out of 100 people, five or six actually believe it. But I would like to ask, what on earth could I possibly do to earn 2 trillion won?"
