Popular Korean Model Reveals He Invested In Bitcoin During Downturn, Earned Over 1000% Return On Investment
Model Jung Hyuk, who once confessed to having lived as a basic welfare recipient, shared that he has succeeded in financial investment through Bitcoin.
On the most recent broadcast of MBN’s “Let’s Go GO” Season 5, models Song Kyung Ah, Song Hae Na, Jin Jung Sun, and Jung Hyuk appeared as guests.
When asked about investments, Jung Hyuk said, “I can’t avoid investing. I wasn’t well off growing up. When I was on a diet, if my weight was in the minus, I still made sure my bank account stayed in the plus. I diversify my investments across stocks, cryptocurrency, land, and real estate.”
He continued, “I purposely didn’t buy a house and bought land instead. I think I made a great choice. When real estate prices were skyrocketing, house prices were around 1 billion won, but now they’ve dropped to 300–400 million. But the land I bought has doubled. I even visited the sites myself and found a hot spring—so I bought it.”

Jung Hyuk also revealed that Bitcoin brought him a huge windfall. “In 2018, I was only working as a model and didn’t even have 10 million won in my bank account. I went all-in with 8 million won, and a day later, it was worth the price of a used car. The next day, it was worth an SUV. It went up to over a billion won [over $600,00]. I held on to it, and then sold it during the rise again in 2022.”
As for his recommended investment, he picked gold. “I started buying gold two years ago, and the price has gone up a lot. When buying gold, you have to look at the global economy. It keeps rising. You can buy it through securities firms,” he advised.
