Actress Ji Ye-eun reveals 47% loss on first stock investment on 'Running Man'

Actress Ji Ye-eun confessed on the SBS variety show 'Running Man' that her initial foray into stock investing led to a staggering 47% loss of her principal investment. The revelation came during a segment where cast members discussed their experiences with the volatile stock market.

“

I tried it once and it was minus 47%.

Fellow cast member Ji Suk-jin, who initially appeared cheerful, shared his own journey with stocks, stating he had become desensitized to market fluctuations. "I don't get upset anymore when stocks drop," he said, explaining that he had "developed calluses" from the constant ups and downs. Kim Jong-kook humorously suggested that those who don't invest might be the real winners.

“

I don't get upset anymore when stocks drop. I've developed calluses.

The conversation then shifted to Ji Ye-eun, who admitted she had started investing recently. When asked about her performance, she revealed her substantial loss. Kim Jong-kook questioned her decision, reminding her of previous advice against investing. Ji Ye-eun explained that hearing others talk about their investments, coupled with the fear of missing out (FOMO), prompted her to try it herself. Yoo Jae-suk noted that constant exposure to stock market discussions likely influenced her decision.

It seems like the person who doesn't do stocks is the winner.

Ha Ha clarified the FOMO concept as the feeling of "losing out if I don't do it," a sentiment Ji Suk-jin readily agreed with, humorously identifying himself as a prime example. The show, which has been running since 2010, features a cast including Yoo Jae-suk, Ji Suk-jin, Kim Jong-kook, Haha, Yang Se-chan, Song Ji-hyo, and Ji Ye-eun.

I thought, 'Maybe I should try it too?'
