Model Jung Hyuk, who previously revealed that he lived as a basic livelihood recipient, shared his experience of succeeding in financial investment through Bitcoin.
In the MBN program 'Gaboja Go Season 5' aired on the 26th, models Song Kyung-ah, Song Hae-na, Jin Jeong-sun, and Jung Hyuk appeared as guests. That day, Jung Hyuk noted, "I can't help but invest. I haven't lived very well since I was young. When I was on a diet, if my weight was in the negative, I maintained a positive account balance."
When asked if he had ever failed in investments, he said, "I have had many failures and successes in investments. In 2018, Bitcoin really took off," adding, "At that time, I was only doing modeling and hadn't appeared on broadcasts, so I didn't have 10 million won in my account. I used 8 million won to buy in fully, and after a day, it became the value of a used car, and the next day, it became the value of a sports utility vehicle (SUV)."
He mentioned, "It went up to tens of billions, but then dropped due to issues," and added, "I held on to it, and in 2022, there was another surge. I successfully invested in Bitcoin by turning my experience into an opportunity."
Recently, he also revealed that he is investing in gold. Jung Hyuk said, "These days, I am buying gold. I started buying it two years ago, and it has risen a lot," and advised, "When buying gold, you have to look at the global economy. It actually has large fluctuations and many issues. You can buy gold from securities companies. You need to diversify your investments."
Meanwhile, Jung Hyuk previously confessed on a variety program in 2022 that he lived as a basic livelihood recipient during his childhood.
