Painter Park Dae-seong's Philosophy of Wealth and Artistry on 'Millionaire Next Door'
Painter Park Dae-seong has recently garnered attention for his appearance on EBS's 'Millionaire Next Door with Seo Jang-hoon'.
Park Dae-seong resolutely refused a blank check offer from China, reaffirming the meaning of true wealth that he pursues.
On the show, Park Dae-seong, along with his wife Jung Mi-yeon, shared their deep love for art and their philosophy of life.
As a master of ink wash painting and a self-taught achiever, he inspires many.
Park Dae-seong is well-known as a favorite artist of the late Chairman Lee Kun-hee and BTS's RM. RM even purchased his artwork and shared it on social media, expressing his admiration.
Jung Mi-yeon recalled that special moment, saying, "Our daughter's phone was blowing up that day."
Park Dae-seong's reason for refusing the blank check offer wasn't simply due to financial comfort, but rather his philosophy as an artist.
Jung Mi-yeon shared about their comfortable life, stating, "We weren't lacking financially. I even told him to stop making so much money."
Isn't this more than just material wealth, but a statement filled with deep understanding and affection for each other?
Park Dae-seong dreams of 'sharing art' and made the bold decision to donate 830 pieces of his work, estimated to be worth billions of won.
When Seo Jang-hoon asked, "Would you give a painting to your daughter if she asked?" he emphasized his principles as an artist, saying, "I can't just give it away, even if it's my daughter."
Jung Mi-yeon also emphasized the public nature of art, saying, "There are many behind-the-scenes stories of painters who turned out badly because they privatized their paintings."
The couple respects and supports each other's artistic talents while walking their own paths. Jung Mi-yeon is a Western painter famous for her sculptures and sacred paintings, but she is also known for not selling her work.
Park Dae-seong supports her dedicated artistic activities with his decision, "I'll earn the money, so you just focus on painting."
The broadcast also featured the first-ever reveal of Park Dae-seong's 'National Museum-Level Collection of Ancient Art,' which garnered significant attention.
From artifacts dating back to BC to possessions of Toegye Yi Hwang and calligraphy by Chusa Kim Jeong-hee, various historical artifacts appeared, revealing their artistic value and sense of responsibility for Korea's cultural heritage.
The couple expressed their intention to pass on this collection to the land of Korea. It will become an important cultural heritage to be passed down to future generations, not just a collection.
Park Dae-seong, who still picks up a brush every day at the age of eighty, revealed his passion for art, saying, "I would be happy if I could die holding a brush."
In the final question, he said, "We must live openly for others rather than for ourselves," showing his lifelong philosophy of sharing.
Jung Mi-yeon laughed when she first heard the title 'Millionaire Next Door' and said, "How can we go on a millionaire program?" but confessed that Park Dae-seong made her realize the true meaning of their wealth when he said, "If we measure it by heart, not material possessions, we are billionaires."
Like this, the story of Park Dae-seong and Jung Mi-yeon provides a deep reflection on love, sharing, and true values, going beyond simple material wealth.
May their lives continue to inspire and move many people.
