Singer Baek Z Young began studying personal finance together with her husband, actor Jeong Seok-won.
On the 18th, a video titled "First reveal of Baek Z Young's stock account that stands strong even in a crash (insane revenue)" was uploaded to Baek Z Young's YouTube channel.
That day, Baek Z Young and Jeong Seok-won invited economics expert Professor Park Jeong-ho for a session on studying stocks. The production team said, "We invited an economics expert professor because the two of you previously, regarding Hynix..."
Earlier, Jeong Seok-won responded to a PD's remark, "You were going to Hynix but came to our company," with "What's Hynix? Where is it? Is it a rival company? Isn't Hynix over there? They make beer," shocking everyone. In response, Baek Z Young said, "This person is cut off from worldly affairs."
The production team said, "We understand the two of you don't do personal finance separately," and Baek Z Young nodded and said, "That's right." Hearing this, Professor Park Jeong-ho marveled, "How well off must you be not to do personal finance. That's something I should learn today instead: how not to need personal finance," prompting laughter.
When asked what caused her to lose interest in personal finance, Baek Z Young said, "I used to put small amounts only into blue-chip stocks, so I didn't suffer much loss. But then COVID happened. I had two or three stocks at the time, and I sold them all at a loss. So I completely decided then, 'I'm not doing stocks,' and I haven't since," revealing that her largest revenue at the time "was almost 100% close. About double," which surprised listeners.
Jeong Seok-won also testified, "Even when we were dating, we entrusted stocks to an expert and sometimes made gains. Once during our dating days, he suddenly had some extra money and told me to go to a department store."
However, he recounted his stock failures: "In my case, I had no idea at all. I wasn't interested and didn't know anything, but someone told me, 'You have to buy this,' so I did it without knowing anything, and it was delisted. I did two, and both were delisted. They seemed to be doing well, then suddenly trading was suspended and they were delisted. So this person and I always said we shouldn't do things like that and might as well help the less fortunate."
He continued, "So up until now, we came along, and when I heard today on YouTube that we were doing this, (Baek Z Young) had brought a notebook and writing tools. She's trying to learn properly. Her mind has changed. It hasn't been long since it changed, so I feel a bit betrayed," expressing disappointment, and Baek Z Young candidly replied, "No. It hasn't changed. I won't do it. Ninety percent I won't do. But the 10 percent is like putting something in and not looking at it for four to five years, something like a savings account I might try. If I don't know, I feel something will stay in my mind. There's a difference between not doing it even though you know and not doing it because you don't know. So I thought I'd learn today."
