Jeon Won-ju Has Not Sold a Single Share of SK Hynix Bought at 20,000 Won… Estimated Return of 9,000%

Actor Jeon Won-ju revealed that she still holds the SK Hynix shares she purchased in the 20,000-won range in the past without selling them.

Appearing on a broadcast yesterday (August 20), Jeon stated that she holds onto her SK Hynix shares just as she bought them, saying, "I am waiting until they go up further."

Jeon is known to have purchased the shares at around 20,000 won per share around 2011, before the SK Group acquired Hynix.

While specific profits cannot be confirmed as she has not disclosed the exact purchase price and number of shares held, the return estimated by the industry through long-term holding exceeding 15 years reaches a staggering 7,000% to 9,000%.

Jeon, who started investing in stocks in 1987 with a seed money of 5 million won and built a multi-billion-won asset, is called "Jeon-Buffett" in the market.

The core investment principle revealed by Jeon is to look at the company first.

Explaining that the reason she invested in Hynix was because it was a "good company," she said, "When I went to give a lecture in the past, I had a meal with the employees and directly confirmed the company's solid fundamentals before deciding to invest."

Jeon also picked thorough "long-term holding," which does not aim for short-term market gains, as a core principle.

She emphasized, "Do not be greedy and go up one step at a time. Do not even think about taking an elevator," adding, "It is important not to invest with money you need to use urgently and not to sell quickly."

Jeon has also experienced failure in stocks.

Although she suffered losses when she bought LG Electronics shares in the past and they were cut in half, she did not sell them until the end, eventually making a profit after long-term holding.

Jeon stated her firm belief, saying, "Holding for a basic 5 to 6 years is natural," and "If you invest by looking at a good company, it will rise eventually."
