These Korean stars were born into wealthy families, already “born with a silver spoon,” but have achieved success through their own efforts and passion.
Song Ji Hyo
After 22 years in the industry, Song Ji Hyo revealed for the first time about her impressive background. In the latest episode of “Running Man”, aired on SBS on July 16, Song Ji Hyo shared, “My parents run ships and passenger boats in Tongyeong City.” Even Song Ji Hyo’s co-workers were surprised by this.
In Korea, businesses in the water transport industry often earn huge profits. Afterward, a cast member teased Song Ji Hyo, “Are all the ships in Tongyeong yours?“
In response, Song Ji Hyo laughed and denied it. She said that it was her parents’ business, and she is still just herself.

On July 8, Cha In Pyo’s father, Cha Su Woong, passed away. He was the Chairman of Woosung Shipping, one of the top 10 largest shipping conglomerates globally. Many netizens are interested in the distribution of assets after Cha Su Woong’s passing.
However, the Korean media reported that Cha In Pyo and his two siblings all declined the inheritance rights to the conglomerate. Cha Su Woong had sold all of his shares to a joint venture before his passing.
The reason for not accepting the inheritance, Cha In Pyo believes that neither he nor his siblings have any knowledge about this field, so handing over the conglomerate to anyone would be meaningless. Meanwhile, within the conglomerate, some people have dedicated their entire lives to its development and have a thorough understanding of the work.
