'Savings King' singer Kim Jong-kook has shown interest in stocks.

On the 14th, KBS2's variety show 'Problem Children Are Coming on Tuesday Season 2' (hereinafter 'Okmun-a') featured stock expert Cho Go-min-su and macroeconomics expert Oh Geon-young. Along with 'Oktopz' Song Eun-i, Kim Sook, Kim Jong-kook, Hong Jin-kyung, Yang Se-chan, and Ju Woo-jae, they shared profitable stories about money that captivated viewers' eyes and ears.

Cho Go-min-su and Oh Geon-young began by analyzing South Korea's hot economic situation driven by daily stock price fluctuations, sparking interest. Oh Geon-young stated, "From a macroeconomic perspective, it is a fact that things have changed significantly compared to the past. The world has become much more volatile in terms of exchange rates, interest rates, and KOSPI. We call this the 'new normal' era, and since we must adapt to new rules, I think the growing pains are significant."

However, the 'Oktopz's' attention was focused solely on "So, should (we) buy stocks or not?" Even Ju Woo-jae, who knows nothing about financial management other than saving, expressed his anguish by asking, "Are we really fools if we don't invest in stocks these days?" Oh Geon-young replied, "If you want to share in the fruits of economic growth over the long term, you should hold stocks." At this, Kim Sook suddenly exclaimed, "So you're telling us to buy now," showing a readiness to place an immediate buy order. Cho Go-min-su then calmed her down by saying, "You shouldn't expect to buy today and see it rise tomorrow. You need to look further ahead," which drew laughter from everyone.

Following this, the 'Oktopz's' financial management consultations poured out like a dam breaking. Kim Jong-kook, an analog human self-proclaimed as a 'Kkuk-Cruzi,' asked a life-and-death question: "I have never done any financial management in my 30 years. All I have is cash. Looking at it long-term, is it better to put it in the bank or invest in stocks?" Cho Go-min-su responded, "I think stock investment is similar to getting a driver's license. You must make mistakes at first. If you are worried about losses, investing in ETFs might be a good idea."

Kim Sook then exclaimed, "My ETF is down -38% right now," representing the 'trapped retail investors' with great enthusiasm. Cho Go-min-su argued, "There is no answer to war. In times like these, if you focus on the intrinsic value of companies, it becomes an opportunity for additional purchases." Oh Geon-young added, "Although stock investment difficulty has become too high due to volatility, I believe investing in stocks is the right answer in the long run. You might think you need to jump up and down to find good stocks, but holding them is also important."

Recently, the two major pillars at the center of the KOSPI surge, so-called 'Sanjeon Nixs,' also became a hot topic. The two experts conveyed positive investment opinions on these two stocks along with the guideline "Always look long-term." Cho Go-min-su advised, "Although I think China's semiconductor influence will gradually increase, there is a technological gap, so Sanjeon Nixs' dominance will continue until 2028. There may be unexpected black swans like in war, but a strategy of additional purchases at low prices is necessary." At this moment, Kim Jong-kook revealed, "I know nothing about stocks at all; someone told me to hold Samsung Electronics, so I just bought it. I have no intention of selling. My average purchase price was around 50,000 to 60,000 won," earning the envy of everyone.

The quiz session was also filled with interesting economic trivia. Questions included 'Trading timing that novice stock investors should avoid,' 'Signs of a stock market crash according to <Peter Lynch's Cocktail Theory>,' 'The <Rule of 25>, a prerequisite for FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) enthusiasts dreaming of early retirement,' and 'Policy proposed by Bill Gates to respond to jobs shrinking due to AI robots.' These questions captured both fun and educational value.

Practical investment strategies offered by the two experts also drew attention. In particular, Cho Go-min-su introduced the '246 Strategy,' which involves additional purchases whenever a stock price of a profitable good company drops by 20%, 40%, or 60%. He also presented the '442 Strategy,' where 40% of total assets are invested in representative indices, 40% in desired sectors, and the remaining 20% in monthly dividend ETFs. When Cho Go-min-su explained, "Even if an ETF's rise seems small, it increases by 13% annually. That is four times the level of savings banks," Kim Jong-kook and Ju Woo-jae exclaimed, "We must move everything over," "How much money have we wasted so far?" and "No wonder they gave him the Savings King award," sharing their belated realizations and causing everyone to laugh heartily.

Beyond this, the show made full use of various information, from initial investment strategies for young professionals entering society to tax-saving tips for saving money, age-specific investment strategies, and major economic issues in the second half of the year, presenting them in an easy-to-understand manner to create a rich experience.

Experts did not hesitate to offer realistic advice to those dreaming of investing. Oh Geon-young emphasized, "It is important to know who you are before investing. Since the pain felt when losses occur varies from person to person, you must experience it directly and understand your investment style. Even with a small amount, try it and study. I hope you have experienced multiple ETFs with a small amount."
