2 Billion Won Vanishes in an Instant: A Warning That "Everything Collapses the Moment You Give In"

[Anchor] Amid recent volatility in the domestic stock market, the story of an individual investor has become a hot topic. What is the story about?

[Reporter] A netizen, identified as A, who described himself as a young man from the countryside, said he reached his dream goal of 1.5 billion to 2 billion won on May 15.

He was filled with dreams of buying a new apartment in a provincial area and living a relaxed life off the dividends from the remaining money.

However, perhaps human greed knows no bounds.

At some point, A began to engage in margin trading, where one borrows money from a brokerage firm to invest.

At first, the returns were low, but as the scale of his investments grew, so did his debt, and he eventually confessed that he lost most of his assets after two or three failed investments.

In the end, he revealed that he had to sell off even the assets he had earmarked for his retirement to pay off his debts, and decided to leave the market with only about 200 million won remaining.

A warned of the dangers of margin trading, stating that the moment you touch it, your principles and rationality collapse.

He added, "I thought I would be happy if I just had money, but without people to share my heart with and the warmth of life, even a large sum of money is ultimately just a hollow number." He urged others not to lose sight of precious people and the value of life while chasing money.
