Minus 38%.

The revelation came after real-world investment expert Choi Min-soo recommended stock investments, particularly stable ETFs, as essential in an era where affording a home solely on salary is increasingly difficult. In response to Kim Sook's disclosure, Choi offered a different perspective.

"It's actually good. Thank you," Choi stated, reframing the loss as a potential opportunity. He advised that by viewing price drops as a chance for a change in perspective and focusing on a company's fundamental value, investors could find opportunities for additional purchases. Macroeconomic expert Oh Keon-young also participated in the broadcast, sharing diverse investment insights alongside Choi Min-soo.
