Actor Kim Bo-sung recounted the story of suffering losses equivalent to two Gangnam houses due to failed stock investments, and his wife's sincere support in silence.
On the 6th, appearing on KBS2TV's Malja Show, Kim Bo-sung opened by saying, "You must listen to a woman no matter what. There is nothing wrong with listening to your wife's words."
He then recounted his own investment failure story. Kim Bo-sung said, "I kept both stocks and loyalty together. I kept loyalty to one stock until the end," adding, "When there was a brief profit I could have moved to another stock, but I held on until it was cut to 1/20," he confessed. He then said with a wry smile, "If I had listened to my wife well, I might not have lost all my assets in stocks."
Kim Bo-sung said, "I only kept loyalty to one stock," introducing his "loyalty investment method," but the result was a painful failure. He said, "It wasn't because of greed for money or material things. If the stock did well I planned to donate more," adding, "Losing the stocks meant I could only donate a few tens of millions of won," he said.
He added, "Please don't misunderstand that it was loyalty for sharing," and asked, "I hope people will show a lot of interest in children with cancer and patients with rare incurable diseases."
In fact, Kim Bo-sung has been continuing good deeds by donating several tens of millions of won each year. Hearing this, Kim Young-hee also said, "Mr. Kim Bo-sung started stocks because he wanted to raise a lump sum to help more patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and children with cancer," and lamented, "The company of stocks betrayed loyalty."
On the day of the broadcast, a surprise phone connection with Kim Bo-sung's wife was also arranged. His wife said, "My husband still suffers a lot because of the stocks," and said, "He started for sharing, but the amount grew as he went along. From the side it is painful to see and his health is the biggest concern." She then said, "My motto is 'Do not regret. Regret only adds to the pain,'" adding, "If you regret what has happened you only torment yourself. I hope he takes good care of his health," delivering a message of support that moved people.
In particular, Kim Bo-sung revealed, "The money I lost in stocks is roughly equivalent to two Gangnam houses," surprising everyone. Yoon Hyung-bin said, "If the stock that Kim Bo-sung sold in the middle had been held, its value now would be about 50 billion won," causing the studio to stir. When the cast lamented, "Wouldn't it have been better to have kept it and donated it?" Kim Bo-sung gave a wry smile and said, "I'm sorry."
Looking back on nearly 30 years of investing, Kim Bo-sung ultimately changed his investment philosophy. He said, "I'm not in a position to give advice, having had a company delisted five times, but you should never keep stocks and loyalty together," which drew bursts of laughter.
He added, "You have to be shrewd in stocks. People who are simple and only keep loyalty should not do stocks. I only realized it now," and vowed, "Still, the last remaining stock did not get delisted. I will definitely overcome this and next time I will keep the loyalty of sharing."
