[Asia Economy Reporter Shinwon Yoon] Park Jiwon, a member of the Alternative New Party, revealed that "I owned five buildings in Manhattan with the money I earned in my early 30s."


Park appeared on the SBS entertainment program 'Lee Dongwook Wants to Talk' aired on the 8th and said, "I made a lot of money in the United States in my early 30s. I have been using the money I earned back then until now."


At that time, Park was known to have made a large sum of money through leather and wig businesses.


He said, "I had a nice house, a nice car, and owned five buildings in Manhattan," adding, "I sold them all while doing politics."


He continued, "I recently went to the US and looked around Manhattan, and the prices have gone up tremendously. If I had stayed there instead of being a member of the National Assembly, I would have become 'Old and Rich.'"


When MC Lee Dongwook asked, "Would it be worth around 100 billion won at current prices?" Park replied, "It must have exceeded that."


Also, in response to Lee Dongwook's question, "How much do you get paid for appearing?" he said, "Before the enactment of the 'Kim Young-ran Act,' I earned more than 10 million won a month, but after its enactment, I get 500,000 won only if the program exceeds one hour. It varies by broadcasting station, but this program also requires over an hour. Anything less is 300,000 won."


He added, "Morning radio pays 50,000 to 100,000 won, and phone connections pay 30,000 won."


When asked to predict the next president, he answered, "No matter how much I think about it, it's Park Jiwon."


He added, "You always have to have dreams. On the progressive side, I am watching Son Seokhee, CEO of JTBC, and Yoo Si-min, chairman of the Roh Moo-hyun Foundation."



He also predicted that on the side of the Liberty Korea Party, the person nominated by former President Park Geun-hye is likely to be the next president.
