On "Seo In-young's Trendy Old-Timer," singer and broadcaster Glee (Kim Dong-hyun) revealed that he sold stocks he had invested in based on his father Kim Goo-ra's advice, only to regret the decision.

In Episode 6 of the T-Cast E Channel variety show "Seo In-young's Trendy Old-Timer" (directed by Lee Ji-sun, produced by Studio Brave), which aired on the 5th, Glee appeared as a one-day student.

As the episode centered on the theme of "money," Glee revealed that he had saved approximately 0.2 billion won through fixed deposits during his military service to purchase a car. When MC Mimi Minu asked about photos of Glee and his girlfriend traveling in Jeju Island, which were recently posted on social media, Glee showed his devoted side by saying, "We have been together for a while now. He even waited for me through my military service." He also mentioned, "Please invite us to the wedding episode next time," adding, "I am preparing for marriage."

Glee also candidly shared his thoughts on his father Kim Goo-ra's investment advice. Glee said, "(My dad) often recommends real estate and stock tickers." When asked about the accuracy of these recommendations, he joked, "Because he is so active, I feel like I encounter quacks too. The quality of information varies greatly. I wondered if I was a foundling," eliciting laughter.

In particular, Glee disclosed an experience where he recorded a maximum return rate of 300% through stock investment. He said, "I bought a stock priced at 1.2 million won for 60,000 won. But I sold it for 120,000 won because I trusted my father," expressing his regret. MC Mimi Minu also showed confidence, stating that most of the stocks she holds are generating profits. On the other hand, MC Seo In-young candidly admitted, "I have never tried coins or stocks. I don't even know what they are."

Subsequently, cases of people who made big money through unimaginable methods were introduced. Elon Musk paid approximately 90 million won to secure Tesla's trademark rights and acquired the domain address for approximately 13 billion won after a decade of persuasion, it was reported. In Korea, the competition for trademark applications fueled by the popularity of "Bukang-i" (a portmanteau of "bubak" meaning bubble tea and "kang-i" meaning kangaroo, referring to a trendy drink) was also highlighted.

Along with this, when a brushing method patented in the United States in 1977 for covering baldness was introduced, Seo In-young shared her own know-how of operating a mobile phone and removing lenses with long nails. Following this, bizarre nail art examples such as acne nails, hair nails, and ramen noodles nails appeared, surprising the audience.

Recalling items and catchphrases she had popularized, Seo In-young expressed regret, saying, "I had many opportunities to invest. There were many catchphrases too; I should have bought them when they were worth 10 billion won." She also listed pure gold, apartments in Banpo Jukong Complex 1, and Japanese whiskey as items she regretted not buying earlier, noting their significantly increased value over time.

Unusual wealth management methods utilizing the human body were also revealed. The case of Hollywood actor William Shatner, who auctioned his kidney stones to raise funds for charity and had them sold for approximately 35 million won, was introduced. It was also mentioned that in the United States, one can receive up to approximately 255.5 million won annually by donating feces for research purposes.

In particular, the case of an American influencer who bottled and sold his own farts surprised everyone. It was reported that each bottle was sold for approximately 1 million won, and due to a surge in orders, he sold up to 50 bottles per week at peak times. In response, Seo In-young exclaimed, "Why am I doing this? I should have just farted," unable to hide her surprise.

The "resell tech" of reselling items for profit and the unimaginable consumption habits of rappers were also highlighted. Mimi Minu revealed that she received a necklace worth over 0.2 billion won as a gift after serving as the MC for singer Taeyang's solo fan meeting. Following this, cases such as American rapper Lil Uzi Vert attaching a pink diamond worth approximately 27 billion won to his forehead and Mexican rappers implanting gold chains into their scalps were introduced.

Cases of risking one's life to aim for large prize money also appeared. From MrBeast, an American YouTuber, who conducted a survival mission in fire with a prize of approximately 700 million won, to extreme survival programs that pay approximately 300 million won for enduring in the wild and allow only family members to stop the challenge, various examples were introduced.

Glee said that if his father Kim Goo-ra were watching his challenge, he would likely press the stop button. However, when asked to imagine a situation with a 1 billion won prize at stake, he joked, "I would press it when I reach the brink of death," eliciting laughter.

Stories of figures leading a new era of self-made success were also unfolded. APR CEO Kim Byung-hoon, born in 1988, was introduced as having grown his company, started with a capital of 50 million won in 2014, to a market capitalization of 16 trillion won.

In particular, the growth of K-beauty, which has achieved results in the global market thanks to the interest of overseas celebrities such as Hailey Bieber and Kim Kardashian and word-of-mouth via social media, was highlighted. The case of a domestic beauty store's 3,000 won reusable bag, which became popular among foreign tourists and sold 1.78 million units within one and a half years of its release, was also introduced. In response, Seo In-young expressed her enthusiasm for new challenges by saying, "I want to earn money while doing what I love in the beauty industry."

Towards the end of the broadcast, Seo In-young shared her impressions, saying, "It makes me wonder if making money is this hard. I think earning money is not easy." Glee also said, "I am grateful that I can work in such a cool place," adding, "I will work hard. I feel strongly that I should steadily save money and live a diligent life."
