TV personality Hong Jin Kyung shared her frustration after the share prices of Samsung Electronics and SK hynix, which she bought on an expert's advice, fell.
On the 6th, the YouTube channel "Study King Jin Genius Hong Jin Kyung" released a video in which economic content creator Choi Go Min-su (Park Min-su) appeared and explained the background of the recent weakness in semiconductor stocks.
After visiting a lecture with junior models, Hong Jin Kyung said, "I started buying because the teacher told me to buy, but it keeps falling," and added, "Why did you tell me to buy when it was expensive?"
In response, Choi Go Min-su said, "Stocks are a market that is hard to predict," adding, "Unforeseen variables have emerged." He cited the listing of a Chinese memory semiconductor company and a shift in investor sentiment as factors behind the recent weakness in semiconductor stocks.
Even during the lecture, Hong Jin Kyung said, "It fell too much today," expressing disappointment. Choi Go Min-su explained that "when it falls, it can keep falling," but said the market should be viewed from a long-term perspective.
At the end of the lecture, he also recommended diversification using ETFs rather than individual stocks.
Earlier, in a YouTube video released in May, Hong Jin Kyung said she invested in the same stock as singer-actor Uhm Jung-hwa, adding, "I really tear up just thinking about it."
