Jee Seokjin candidly shared his stock investment failures, drawing laughter.
In the Salon Drip 2 episode released on the 21st, "Mimi, your laugh brought it out and Jee Seoksam soaked it all," Jee Seokjin, when the conversation turned to personal finance, revealed his investment experiences without reservation.
That day, when Mimi said, "I don't even trust stocks," and said she prefers physical assets, MC Jang Do-youn also empathized, saying, "I don't have a stock account either." In response, Jee Seokjin said, "If you invest long term in ETFs with long listing periods by dollar-cost averaging like putting money into a savings plan, you won't fail," sharing his own investment philosophy.
But he immediately added, "I'm just telling you everything I learned because I didn't succeed," continuing to self-deprecate. He confessed, "Strangely, only I somehow don't succeed. Even if I dump everything into stocks, only I am in the red," which turned the venue into a sea of laughter.
His failed investment in Samsung Electronics drew particular attention. Jee Seokjin said, "I bought Samsung Electronics in the 80,000 won range, but it kept falling without ever exceeding 100,000 won. When it finally passed 100,000 won, I sold," he said. He added in dismay, "I sold at a stunningly bad timing. I even thought I was clever and sold in portions."
He also recounted how his wife joined in. He said, "I told my wife that timing was important and told her to sell, and she sold too," and added, "Now I don't tell anyone. After selling it became 200,000 won. It hurts when you sell and it goes up," provoking uproarious laughter.
Meanwhile, Jee Seokjin did not forget to boast about the duet "Milkshake" he released with Ji Ye-eun that day. He said with pride, "It's not easy to get into the top 100, but it was at No. 99 for three hours," showing off his trademark variety show charm.
