Comedian Kim Won-hoo recently shared his experience of suffering significant losses from stock investments.
In a preview released on the YouTube channel 'Netflix Korea' titled 'Kim Won-hoo Starts Investing in Stocks at the Peak,' he revealed, "I lost almost the value of a car," stating he incurred a loss of 24 million won.
He mentioned that his initial investment was "180 million won" and described his approach as one that involves going all in at the start. "When you get too invested in something, this is what happens," he said.
Kim added, "I did too much averaging down. It was like I went to a water bomb party. I just kept adding water. You know how some people drink whiskey with water? Now it has no taste at all," he humorously recounted.
He expressed the pressure and obsession he felt to lower his average purchase price, saying, "I lived under that kind of stress. It’s really serious. I’m laughing while talking about it, but I’ve become quite depleted. I’ve lost about 2 kilograms, and I have no appetite or motivation. I feel like a zombie wherever I go."
The video featuring Kim's confessions is part of a preview for 'Ant Kim Won-hoo: The World of Stocks,' a show where the comedian, despite having no prior experience, dives into the world of stocks in search of answers. It was first released on Netflix on August 3.
