Ji Suk-jin Shares Investment Insights on Netflix's 'Manhakdo Ji-ssi'

Popular broadcaster Ji Suk-jin has shared his candid thoughts on investment strategies.

The sixth episode of Netflix's daily variety show 'Manhakdo Ji-ssi' (directed by Jeong Do-dam, produced by TEO), airing at 5 PM on the 27th, will feature Park Jin-young, CEO of economic and investment media outlet Upbit. The episode promises to deliver deeper investment insights, moving from basic stock investment tips to practical discussions on domestic stock forecasts, asset allocation, and retirement strategies.

Park Jin-young is set to reveal valuable asset management tips for budding investors, covering everything from dividend stocks to ETFs. The episode will explore whether illiquid assets like real estate are wise choices and if investing in U.S. big tech stocks is advisable in the AI era. Ji Suk-jin, who previously shared his painful stock investment failures, will engage with a barrage of questions, while Mimi is recognized as a 'budding investment talent' by the expert, sparking curiosity.

Ji Suk-jin, known for his aggressive investment style, and Mimi, with her conservative approach, will once again highlight their contrasting investment philosophies. In a '10 billion won at once vs. 3 million won monthly' balance game, their differing choices draw attention. Mimi opts for a steady monthly income, saying, "I'll take 3 million won until I die," while Ji Suk-jin chooses the lump sum, stating, "It has to come all at once." However, Ji Suk-jin's indecisiveness soon resurfaces, providing comic relief.

The episode also delves into realistic concerns about retirement planning. When the topic of 'pension accounts,' which incur penalties if terminated early, arises, Ji Suk-jin admits, "I might break it midway. People like us, the 'P' (spontaneous) types, can't do it," leading to a humorous discussion among the 'P' types. When the 'FIRE movement,' aiming for early retirement through asset income in one's 30s and 40s, is mentioned, Mimi asserts, "I'll work until I'm 100. I'll work until I die," showcasing her firm beliefs.

The question "What's next after stocks, coins, and gold?" piques interest. Ji Suk-jin reportedly exclaims, "This is fresh! Everyone, take notes," in response to Park Jin-young's insights, heightening anticipation for the episode.

Netflix's 'Manhakdo Ji-ssi' is a reality-based knowledge exploration show that breaks down barriers with raw questions, airing every Monday at 5 PM.
