Travel creator KwakTube expressed frustration after investing all his money in SK Hynix, only to see negative returns.


On September 7, a video titled 'Review of the World's Most Expensive First-Class Flight' was posted on his YouTube channel, KwakTube.


In the video, KwakTube shared his experience flying in the premium seat 'The Residence' on Etihad Airways from Tokyo, Japan, to Abu Dhabi, UAE. He noted that the 9-hour flight cost approximately 14.9 million won, stating, 'I really wanted to experience a great flight,' and added that he paid for it out of his own pocket.


However, his expression was bittersweet. He remarked, 'It costs 1.5 million for 10 hours, so that's 100,000 won per hour. That's a bit much,' trailing off at the end of his statement.


KwakTube also revealed his investment situation, saying, 'I put almost all my stock money into Hynix. I spent a lot.' He mentioned that he invested nearly all his available funds and joked, 'If it were me, I would skip the flight and just invest more.'


After arriving in Abu Dhabi, KwakTube had to travel to Istanbul in economy class, lamenting that he had no more money left and sighed, 'I guess I’ll have to find a place to sleep.'
