As the domestic stock market surges, fortunes are divided between joy and sorrow.

With SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics stocks hitting upper limits for consecutive days, some celebrities have drawn attention by openly revealing their stock account returns without omission.

Broadcaster Kim Gu-ra's foresight has paid off since last year. On his personal YouTube channel 'Gurigura' in October 2025, he stated, "Samsung Electronics is now yielding about 100% returns." At that time, Samsung Electronics stock was trading at 98,600 won. Considering that Kim Gu-ra achieved approximately 100% returns and the video was filmed on October 20, his average purchase price can be calculated to be around 49,000 won.

Currently, Samsung Electronics stock is trading at approximately 280,000 won. Kim Gu-ra, known to have consistently purchased shares over the years, is estimated to have achieved a return rate on his Samsung Electronics holdings nearing 500%.

Actor Choi Gwi-hwa is also smiling after revealing his overwhelmingly strong account status. On the 30th of last month, he proudly certified that the return rate on his children's stock accounts reached 290%. His persistence in steadily making small monthly investments in ETFs over three years paid off with dividend and compound interest effects, triggering a jackpot.

Choi Gwi-hwa said, "I started teaching my three children about finance three years ago and simultaneously began buying stocks for them," adding that he encouraged them to invest 100,000 won monthly or to save their allowance and New Year's money for investment.

He continued, "Although the amounts are not large, the result of consistent purchasing has led to surprisingly accumulated dividends and compound interest, reaching a 290% return rate. 'If you have a stock to invest in or a sector you have thoroughly analyzed, I recommend making steady small investments in ETFs. This is especially true for children's accounts. Our second child is already excited about selling one share of the stock they own to go to the children's playground for Children's Day. If you are not wealthy enough to leave your assets to your children, start learning financial investment with your children now. Immediately!'" he urged.

On the other hand, there is a celebrity whose painful bottom stop-loss selling has evoked a bitter sense of solidarity among retail investors. That is Jang Sung-kyu.

On the 12th, he posted a screenshot of a DM conversation with a fan on his personal SNS, writing, "I took out a 'ㅅ' (stock), but my sensible younger brother preserved it. A beautiful ending. May the lives of us all trend upward."

According to the photo, when a fan asked Jang Sung-kyu, "Hyung, what about Samsung Electronics now?" he replied, "I bought it at 80,000 won and sold it at 60,000 won. Don't even take out a 'ㅅ' (stock) in front of me." The fan then responded, "Got it. 'ㅅ' (stock) Eung-gyu Hyung. Your stock price will always trend upward. I'm cheering for you," creating a heartwarming atmosphere.

However, Jang Sung-kyu purchased a building in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul in 2021 for 6.5 billion won. The current market value of the building is reported to be over 100 thousand won.

Broadcaster Mija also revealed her miserable stock returns. On the 7th, she uploaded a photo of her stock account on her personal SNS, asking, "Everyone, I'm serious. Should I buy Samsung Electronics and Hynix tomorrow?"

At the time, Mija pleaded, "The stock market is in chaos these days, but I'm still in the negative. I'm a disaster at financial management. I've been worried for days. Please give me a serious answer."

According to the photo, all five stocks held by Mija are in the negative. She has incurred a loss of approximately 1 million won. Mija then made a sad face, saying, "I just want to recover from the negative numbers now."
