K-Pop Star Chaeryeong Discusses Conspiracy Theories on KBS2TV's 'Celebrity Soldier's Secret'
On the October 16th episode of KBS2TV's 'Celebrity Soldier's Secret,' ITZY's Chaeryeong appeared as a guest, delving into the mysterious realities of the powerful Rothschild and Rockefeller families.
Upon Chaeryeong's appearance, Lee Chan-won beamed with a wide smile, stating, "I thought today's guest selection was excellent." His comment humorously prompted apologies to previous guests Yoon Hyun-min, Jung Il-woo, and Ji Seung-hyun.
Jang Do-yeon asked Chaeryeong her thoughts on conspiracy theories. Chaeryeong responded, "Most conspiracy theories are baseless, but they are intriguing." Political science Ph.D. Kim Ji-yoon mentioned a topic that could debunk conspiracy beliefs, noting that Forbes named John D. Rockefeller the greatest historical billionaire.
Dr. Kim further discussed the Rothschild family, known for their generational wealth, and mentioned conspiracy theories surrounding the Titanic's sinking, capturing attention.
Lee Chan-won introduced John D. Rockefeller, a pivotal figure in the American oil industry, noting that he was advised by his father to "trust no one." By the age of twelve, Rockefeller was already earning money through interest from neighbors, showcasing his unique interest in finance.
Rockefeller, who famously carried a ledger on his first date, controlled 90% of the U.S. oil market, becoming a pioneer of conglomerate management. Despite a court order to dismantle his subsidiaries, he amassed such wealth that he was warned he might be "buried under money."
However, health issues arose. In his 50s, Rockefeller suffered from total alopecia, losing all hair, and received a terminal diagnosis. He radically changed his lifestyle and astonishingly lived to 97, leaving a lasting impression.
