'Chungju man'–turned YouTuber Kim Seon-tae opened up about his experience of failing in stock investing.
On the 20th, a promotional video for Woori Bank was uploaded to Kim Seon-tae's YouTube channel.
Earlier, after resigning from his position as a public official at Chungju City Hall, Kim Seon-tae launched a personal YouTube channel and said, "I promote everything in the world," soliciting large-scale advertising. After that, companies from various fields rushed to leave love calls in the channel comments.
As soon as the channel was launched, the number of subscribers soared to 1.54 million, and Kim Seon-tae's advertising rates, reported to range from 100 million won to 50 million won, were made public and sparked controversy. Then on the 17th it was reported that Kim Seon-tae would take charge of promoting Woori Bank, drawing attention, and on the 20th Kim Seon-tae visited Woori Bank and uploaded footage he shot there as he began full-fledged advertising activities.
On that day, in particular, Kim Seon-tae asked about the bank's VIP service, "How much in assets do you need to use this?" and the representative replied, "30억 in deposits."
In response, Kim Seon-tae asked, "Where is the next place to invest?" and the representative answered, "domestic stocks." When asked, "Do you have room left?" the representative also said, "It seems there is a lot left."
Then Kim Seon-tae lamented the pain of stock investing, saying, "I was a major shareholder of Samsung Electronics but sold everything at 60,000 won." The representative who heard this added to the laughter by saying regretfully, "It's 183,000 won now.." He then offered a tip, saying, "To eliminate the risk of picking a single stock, use indirect investment products like ETFs."
