Kim Gura recently spoke candidly about his feelings regarding the investment returns recently reported about him.
On Oct. 31, a new video was posted on the YouTube channel Grigura titled "Don't advanced countries usually mean you can't buy a house in the capital region?"
That day Kim Gura opened his mouth, saying, "My gold investment from five years ago was covered in the news way too much. If I'd invested several billion won and made several billion won more, I wouldn't say a word. They were saying 300%, and recently when I went to a restaurant someone said, 'Mr. Kim Gura, I heard you made money investing in gold?' I just looked at my income level and thought I only bought a little."
Earlier, Kim Gura said on his YouTube channel, "When we filmed Gura-cheol in the past, I went to a gold exchange. At the time gold seemed pretty good, so I bought about 100 million won. A few years ago the price of gold went up to a bit over 200 million won. I thought I should sell it, but my wife said, 'We're not in urgent need of money, so just keep it.'"
Kim Gura said he succeeded in gold investing, adding, "My wife may not have my level of economic knowledge but women have intuition. She just left it alone, and recently the price of gold rose to 340 million won."
Kim Gura also said about stock investing, "I set my stock accounts based on revenue rates. Good things are at the bottom, and Samsung Electronics was at the bottom. Right now it's showing about a 100% revenue rate."
As the remarks drew attention, Kim Gura said, "People say, 'I heard you made 100% on Samsung Electronics (stock)?' but I held that for about 10 years. People are very interested in that," adding, "Some say, 'This is actually not a lot,' but some just simply think, 'Did you really make that much money?'"
Kim Gura lamented, "But I lost a lot from investments too," and said, "Some people connect losing money when I lived with my ex-wife to me making it back now. But that's completely unrelated. That can't make up for it."
Meanwhile, Kim Gura divorced by mutual agreement in 2015 after 18 years of marriage. In particular, it drew great attention that Kim Gura reportedly repaid in full the 1.7 billion won debt left by his ex-wife even after the divorce.
