'Savings King' Kim Jong-kook Turns Out to Be a '50,000-Won Samsung' Shareholder; Joo Woo-jae Cries Out in Betrayal

Singer Kim Jong-kook, who revealed that he has only ever saved money in the bank without any other financial investments, confesses to being an unexpected shareholder of Samsung Electronics at around 50,000 won.

During a prior recording for the upcoming August 14 broadcast of KBS2's "Problem Child in House", the hosts honestly shared their financial situations.

Yang Sechan drew envy by sharing, "Actually, I was a shareholder when it was at 60,000 won and even held it when it reached 100,000 won," but brought laughter by delivering a lonely conclusion, "I don't have any now."

On the other hand, Kim Jong-kook surprised everyone by sharing his low-price buying story: "I haven't done any financial investments for 30 years and only received a 2 percent bank interest rate in pure cash. I don't know about stocks, but people around me told me to just hold onto Samsung Electronics, so I bought it. My average purchase price is around 50,000 won."

When Joo Woo-jae, his "savings companion," expressed his grievance by shouting, "You're a traitor!", Kim Jong-kook calmed him down by saying, "I have no intention of selling."

Stock expert Park Min-soo and macroeconomic expert Oh Geon-young appeared as guests on this day's recording. After hearing the so-called "442 strategy" revealed by Park Min-soo, Kim Jong-kook made the set burst into laughter with a reaction that shook his 30-year savings values, saying, "I definitely need to switch. Why hasn't anyone told me this until now?"
