Actress Lee Mi-sook says late-started stock investing brought losses
South Korean actress Lee Mi-sook said she had lost money after starting to invest in stocks later in life.
In a video posted to her YouTube channel on October 30, she joked that the money for a house she had planned to buy for a production staff member was gone.
She said she had started investing partly because she felt left out while others made money, a feeling often called fear of missing out.
She did not name the stocks or give a loss amount, so the scale of her losses is unknown.
South Korea’s KOSPI fell 16.19% in October after reaching above 7,000 earlier in the month, then closed at 5,730.74 on October 30.
Further market moves remain uncertain, with US technology company results, returns on AI investment and foreign investor activity among the factors analysts are watching.

I had never invested in stocks before, so why did I get into it so late in life?
