Actress Ji Ye-eun jumped into stock investing and tasted a bitter first experience.
On the 23rd, the SBS variety show 'Running Man' aired, where the members talked about their recent stock investment situations.
That day, seeing Jee Seokjin smiling brightly, the members teasingly asked, "The stocks fell, so why are you in a good mood?" In response, Jee Seokjin, as if having let go to some extent, answered, "I just accept it now. I'm not pulling out anyway." He went on jokingly, "I was upset about the stocks, but it hurt so much that a scab has formed," wryly expressing how he had grown numb to continued losses.
Naturally, someone on site said, "The winner is the person who doesn't do stocks." At that moment, Yang Se-chan's gaze turned to Ji Ye-eun, and Ji Ye-eun drew curiosity by making a stiff expression, unable to smile.
There was a reason. Ji Ye-eun revealed her return, saying, "I tried once and it's minus 47%," surprising the members by disclosing her rate of return. She also revealed how she got into stocks. Ji Ye-eun said she became interested because she heard so much about stocks around her, and laughed as she trailed off, "People told me not to get in, but I thought, 'Me too?', and then…"
Hearing this, Kim Jong Kook mentioned the so-called fear of missing out (FOMO), saying that while others seem to be investing and making money, he worried he might miss out on opportunities, empathizing with Ji Ye-eun's situation. When Yu Jae-seok said, "There will be many people here who don't understand FOMO," Haha summarized, "Isn't that saying that if I don't do it, I'm at a loss?" Then Jee Seokjin, as if waiting for the moment, self-deprecatingly said, "That's a textbook example of me," turning the scene into a sea of laughter.
In the end, amid the surrounding investment craze, Ji Ye-eun's confession that she started with a "me too" mindset and received a harsh report card of -47% from her first investment evoked a bittersweet sympathy.
