But perhaps those who don't invest in stocks at all are the real winners.

The candid admission came during a segment where cast members discussed their experiences with stock investments. Ji Suk-jin, another cast member, spoke of a resigned acceptance of market fluctuations, stating, "I've become so accustomed to stock drops that I just accept them now; it hurts so much that a callus has formed."

Kim Jong-kook, a fellow cast member, chimed in with a thought that resonated with many, suggesting, "But perhaps those who don't invest in stocks at all are the real winners." Ji Ye-eun readily agreed, confessing her own foray into the market ended with a substantial deficit. "I tried it once, and it was -47%," she revealed, eliciting laughter from the studio audience.

When asked by Kim Jong-kook if she invested despite warnings, Ji Ye-eun expressed a sense of regret, explaining, "I thought, 'Maybe I should try it too?'" Her wistful expression underscored the common feeling of FOMO, or fear of missing out, that drives many into investment decisions. Kim Jong-kook acknowledged this, adding, "There's a FOMO phenomenon where you feel like you'll miss out on earning money if you don't participate."
