Choi Hwa-jeong reveals secret to selling Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix at peak

Actress Choi Hwa-jeong has garnered attention for her unexpected investment savvy, revealing that she sold Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix shares at their absolute peak.

On the 23rd, a video titled 'Revealing Uhm Jeong-hwa's Emotional Hannam-dong House that Hong Jin-kyung Visits When Bored (+ Both are stuck in stocks)' was released on the YouTube channel 'Study King Jin Genius.'

During the video, Hong Jin-kyung visited the Hannam-dong home of her close friend, singer and actress Uhm Jeong-hwa, to share various stories. While discussing books and life, the two suddenly let out deep sighs and confessed their worries regarding stock investing.

Hong drew laughter when she confessed, "Actually, unnie and I have something that leaves us feeling empty. We both invested in the same stocks, but the situation is not good at all."

As the conversation turned to Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix—the so-called 'Samjeon-niks' that have recently become a hot topic among investors—Uhm expressed her regret, asking, "Why didn't we buy even one of those?"

Recalling Choi's investment situation, Uhm said, "Choi Hwa-jeong unnie said she has some..." and the two immediately called Choi on the spot.

When asked, "Unnie, do you have Samsung Electronics and Hynix?" Choi replied, "I do." Upon hearing this, Hong and Uhm asked, "Unnie, you don't usually sell. Did you sell when they went up?" prompting an unexpected answer from Choi.

Choi surprised everyone by revealing, "I don't usually sell, but this time I disposed of them when they were at their absolute peak."

The two could not hide their admiration, as Choi, who typically favors long-term investing, had personally timed her exit perfectly. Uhm expressed her envy, saying, "Congratulations, unnie. Buy us a buffet once," to which Choi responded warmly, "As if I couldn't do that. I'll buy it 100 times."

In response, Uhm joked, "Unnie, I'll wear elastic waist pants when I go," bringing laughter to the moment.

As celebrities' wealth management and investment experiences have recently been drawing public interest, Choi's successful exit from 'Samjeon-niks' is also becoming a hot topic. However, since stock investment results vary depending on market conditions and individual judgment, caution is advised against making investment decisions based solely on the actions of celebrities.

Choi is widely loved for her unique, honest wit and lifestyle, having maintained a long-standing career in broadcasting and acting.
