Comedian Kim Soo-yong offered sincere advice in response to a heartbreaking stock market anecdote.

On the 8th, a video titled "Do Not Fear Stop-Loss Selling" was posted on the YouTube channel 'Instinctive Kim Soo-yong'.

That day, the production team shared with Kim Soo-yong various stock-related anecdotes that had spread online.

One of the anecdotes described how someone bought stocks on a friend's recommendation, only for the share price to plummet the next day, leaving them without funds to pay rent for their studio apartment the following month. The author of the post, a stock market novice, also asked whether selling would return the principal as-is, evoking sympathy.

Upon hearing this, Kim Soo-yong sighed, "I'm really going crazy," and said, "This person is not posting this to be funny; it seems they are being serious. Someone needs to tell them to sell even at a loss."

Meanwhile, Kim Soo-yong shared his own investment experiences, emphasizing that "the cryptocurrency market seems like a place one should not enter unless they have an exceptionally strong stomach."

He stated, "I started with cryptocurrencies in 2022, but it did not suit me," adding, "In 2022, I made a profit of 20,000 won, but suffered a loss of 150,000 won the following year. In 2024, I saw a profit of 43 million won. At that time, I thought, 'I am really good at investing.' However, in 2025, I incurred a loss of 16 million won, and this year, a loss of 21 million won," revealing his account details to evoke sympathy.

Currently, the valuation of Kim Soo-yong's cryptocurrency holdings was 27,000 won. Kim Soo-yong explained, "I have almost entirely liquidated the stocks among my held cryptocurrencies that had a loss rate of approximately 50%."
