Jeon Won-joo Still Holding SK Hynix Stock Bought in 20,000-Won Range... Estimated Returns Up to 9,000%

Veteran actor Jeon Won-joo, well-known in the entertainment industry as a shrewd stock investor, is drawing attention after revealing that she still holds SK Hynix shares she purchased 15 years ago.

On the KBS 1TV documentary "Docu Insight - Semiconductor Money, Trajectory of Money" broadcast yesterday, the program covered the semiconductor industry and investment trends leading the domestic stock market amid the AI boom, introducing Jeon's investment case in SK Hynix.

Jeon is known to have purchased the shares in the 20,000-won range around 2011, before SK Group acquired Hynix. In the broadcast, Jeon stated that she still holds the shares 15 years after the purchase, saying, "I am waiting until they go up even further." Although her exact purchase price and quantity were not disclosed, industry insiders estimate her return on investment to be around 7,000% to 9,000%.

Regarding the background of her investment in Hynix, Jeon previously shared on a broadcast, "I went to give a lecture and had a meal with the employees. The employees seemed extremely competent and the company looked solid, so I trusted them and invested."

Starting her stock investment in 1987 with 5.1 million won and building assets worth billions of won, Jeon has earned the nickname "Jeon-ren Buffett." Through various broadcasts, she has emphasized her strict investment principles. She advised, "Do not be greedy; you must climb up one step at a time. Don't think about taking the elevator," adding, "The key is to invest with money that you don't need to use urgently and can leave to mature for a long time, and not to sell quickly."

In fact, she once shared her experience of holding onto LG Electronics shares until the end and turning a profit even after experiencing a loss when the stock price halved. Reminding viewers of the true value of long-term investment, she noted, "Holding for five to six years is basic. If you invest after looking at a good company, it will eventually go up."
