From Penniless Mountain Boy to Hotel-Owner Educator Meet Yuk Gwang-shim, Chairman of a hotel academy that spans four buildings and trains future hoteliers through ten specialized departments including Hotel Culinary Arts and Hotel Management. But before building his educational empire, he was a penniless boy from the countryside who moved to Seoul with nothing but determination. After studying tourism, his first job was at a small culinary academy in Yeongdeungpo, where he learned the ropes of running an education business. Eventually, he started his own academy, promoting it the old-school way—by plastering posters on utility poles with his wife. The competition for attention was fierce, but he had a knack for standing out. By the early ’90s, his cooking school was earning ₩1–2 billion annually. But Yuk wasn’t done. He believed: “A hotel school must have a real hotel.” So he spent ₩65 billion to acquire a massive hotel building—now serving as both a training ground and operational hotel. With over 400 rooms, student-run bakeries, and buffet-style meals served daily, it’s a hands-on paradise for aspiring hoteliers. Despite his rise from tenant to property mogul, Yuk Gwang-shim chose to reinvest in education—not for prestige, but to shape lives. This episode of Seo Jang-hoon’s Neighborhood Millionaire explores a success story driven not by academic pedigree, but by grit, heart, and a belief in social value.
