As SK hynix keeps hitting record highs day after day, attention is turning to actor Jeon Won-ju's past comments about buying the stock in the 20,000 won range.
According to the Korea Exchange (KRX) on the 30th, SK hynix closed at 861,000 won, up 2.38% (20,000 won) from the prior trading day. It topped 900,000 won at one point during the session. The share price, which was in the 200,000 won range a year ago, has more than quadrupled.
With SK hynix shares soaring like this, a past investing anecdote Jeon Won-ju revealed is drawing attention.
In 2021 on KakaoTV "Ants Are Today Also Ddun Ddun 3," Jeon Won-ju introduced herself as "a long-term investor who has held SK hynix shares for more than 10 years." At the time, Jeon Won-ju's purchase price for SK hynix was known to be in the 20,000 won range per share.
Then in Mar. last year on KBS2 "Boss in the Mirror," when asked "Are you still holding (SK hynix)?" Jeon said, "I will never sell."
If Jeon Won-ju is still holding the shares, the return would be about 4,200%.
Regarding the reason for investing in SK hynix, Jeon Won-ju said, "I went to give a lecture and ended up eating with the employees, and they were highly skilled," adding, "The company was solid, and I trusted that."
Brokerages are steadily raising their target price for SK hynix. SK Securities raised its target price for SK hynix to 1.5 million won from 1 million won. U.S. investment bank Citigroup also set a target price of 1.4 million won, up 56% from before.
