Singer Gary left a self-deprecating reaction amid the sharp surge in the KOSPI.
On the 13th, Gary posted a screenshot of the KOSPI on his Instagram with the caption, "What have I been doing while this has been happening?"
On that day, the KOSPI closed at 7,844.01, up 200.86 points (2.63%) from the previous trading day, marking a record high closing price.
The KOSPI has continued its steep upward trend day after day. Having first broken through the 4,000-point mark during trading last year, the KOSPI surpassed the 5,000-point level within three months, and then the 6,000-point level just one month later in February. It took only about two months to reach 7,000. Some analysts predict that a "10,000-point era" is not an impossible scenario in the long term.
As the KOSPI continues its record-breaking bull market, concerns are growing over the overheating trend of everyone rushing into investments. While expressing bitterness over the KOSPI surge, Gary added, "Let's cheer up, FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) fans."
Meanwhile, Gary married a non-celebrity 10 years his junior in October 2017 and has a son named Ha-o. Gary, who was active in various fields including music and broadcasting, naturally took a break after getting married and having a child.
Gary previously appeared on KBS 2TV's "The Return of Superman" in 2020, stating, "After over 20 years of broadcasting activities, I felt like I was overloaded. I got married during my break, and a baby was born. It naturally became a parental leave. So I think my break period became longer. Even while taking a break from work, I was not unhappy at all."
