Jung Hyung-don Confirms 10 Patents, Says Stroller-Carrier Came From His Wife's Idea

Jung Hyung-don personally verified 10 patents under his own name on his new YouTube project 'Modo Sanghoe.' He also shared stories of being an inventor, a side different from his familiar entertainer persona.

The core was not just about the numbers. 'Modo Sanghoe' is not a talk show where participants merely throw out ideas, but rather a production-based variety show aimed at turning everyday inconveniences into actual products.

First Invention Meeting Revealed on the 16th

In the 'Modo Sanghoe' video released on the 16th, Jung Hyung-don held the first invention meeting with science communicator Lee Sun-ho, history researcher Kim Jaewon, and maker Sud. While team members were discussing lifestyle ideas like automatically folding umbrellas, Jung Hyung-don introduced an invention for which he had previously received a patent.

The invention he brought up was a combination of a stroller and a carrier. Jung Hyung-don explained that he traveled frequently with his twin daughters when they were young, and every time, it was difficult to pull both a carrier and a stroller.

Jung Hyung-don said, "We traveled a lot when the kids were young. But it was so hard to pull both a carrier and a stroller." He then revealed that he received a patent for the stroller-carrier but added, "However, I have never actually made this."

10 Patents Confirmed on KIPRIS

In the video, Jung Hyung-don searched his own name on KIPRIS, the intellectual property information search service. On the screen, 10 patents under his name were confirmed.

Rather than relying solely on the 'unexpected history' subtitles commonly used in variety shows, he showed the search scene so viewers could follow along. In particular, the moment he introduced the stroller-carrier design and revealed, "This was my wife's idea," drew attention. He explained that the starting point of the invention was not a grand display of technology, but the inconvenience of family trips.

Jung Hyung-don's history of working at Samsung Electronics was also mentioned again during this scene. A notable part of this content is that he did not consume that history merely as material for laughter, but connected it to the product meetings and the production process.

Jung Hyung-don-Centered Production Team Concept

'Modo Sanghoe' is a team concept centered around Jung Hyung-don, with individuals from the fields of science, history, and production working together. It is difficult to sustain an invention variety show through eloquence alone. One must select ideas, make them, and even show the reasons for failure.

This is why Jung Hyung-don's revelation that he would personally bear the production costs does not sound light. It is closer to a promise to produce actual results rather than just setting up a company with words.

Jung Hyung-don is a broadcaster who has long shown both eccentricity and realism within variety shows. This time, those strengths have met the format of invention. For the disclosure of 10 patents not to end as a one-time topic, 'Modo Sanghoe' must now show actual objects on the screen.
