Super Rich in Korea cast
The billionaires sharing their lives on Super Rich in Korea include Yoo Hee-ra, who is South Korea's sole client ambassador for luxury brands. With an entire 100 square meters dedicated to her wardrobe, she shares her fashion philosophy with endearing honesty.
Joining her is Noor Naem, a super influencer who has over 50 million followers on social media and Kim Anna, a noblewoman from Pakistan.
Adding humor to their elaborate lives are Singaporean business magnate David Yong, known for his straightforward nature, and Teodoro Marani, a romantic who moved to Korea after leaving his family’s luxury brand business.
We'll also see how these affluent men get on in the Korean dating scene with their striking personalities that has the hosts in stitches.
The production team told Netflix about their casting process and how it was the most challenging aspect of the series: "Each cast member has a unique story. David Yong, for instance, impressed us with his journey of setting aside his millionaire status to invest in K-pop, all while maintaining his down-to-earth charm.
"Yoo Hee-ra’s determination to forge her own path is truly inspiring. Then there’s Teo, who’s chosen to live in Korea despite having a secure future back home, and Anna, a workaholic who embraces her Korean identity despite coming from a noble family in another country. And of course, Noor Naem, the self-made queen of the Arabic beauty industry. We believe this series will engage viewers by showcasing the lives of these super rich individuals beyond their glamorous exteriors.”
