[Sports Chosun’s Reporter Yi Ge-eun] MC Jo Yeong-gu confessed that his life and family were shaken after experiencing significant losses in the stock market.
On the 19th, the channel ‘Geura’ posted a video titled ‘Jo Yeong-gu Returns with Legendary Stock Loss Rate.’
Kim Gu-ra said, “Jo Yeong-gu mentioned on Kim Hyun-wook’s YouTube channel that he lent out 3.5 billion KRW, and when combined with his stock losses, he has seen a loss of nearly 5 billion KRW. Excluding money lent out, he lost about 2 billion KRW in stocks alone.”
Jo Yeong-gu revealed, “I started investing in stocks in 2008, and ended up losing exactly 2.1 billion KRW. Life doesn’t feel like life. I am extremely stressed because of the stock market,” he said. Fortunately, he receives a lot of work offers, so his income is stable. Kim Gu-ra added, “Jo Yeong-gu is desperate, but he’s still making a lot of money. He has so much work that he does 20 to 30 events a month.”
Jo Yeong-gu continued, “I could have lived happily with my family. But when stocks go up, I feel good, but when they drop, I lose my mind. It makes me angry. This cycle repeated, leading to mood disorders, and my family couldn’t accept me. My life deteriorated due to the stock market. I managed to pull through because I worked hard and had a lot of work. If I didn’t have any work, I might not have survived,” he said, expressing his bitterness.
