Na Young-seok shared a sad and humorous story of failure where he invested in real estate on Ji Seok-jin’s advice and only ‘recovered his initial investment.’

In the video ‘Welcome to Seok Sam-hyung’s Egg House ‘uploaded on YouTube channel’ Channel Shipoya ‘on the 20th, broadcaster Ji Seok-jin appeared as a guest and shared memories of the past with PD Na Young-seok.

On this day, Ji Seok-jin brought up the past incident where he recommended a redeveloped apartment in Mapo and said, “If I had done that back then, the price would have gone up quite a bit by now,” and Na Young-seok burst out laughing, saying, “Hyung, that was a story from 20 years ago.”

Na Young-seok recalled, “At that time, my brother’s nickname was ‘the hand of the minus in the real estate industry.’ He’s still got that nickname for 20 years.” Ji Seok-jin said, “I keep telling the kids that.But you’re the only one who actually did it.”

At the time, Na Young-seok, who was a fresh graduate, purchased a villa near the redevelopment site in Ahyeon-dong for 85 million won at Ji Seok-jin’s recommendation.He confessed, “I thought an apartment would be built right away.But nothing changed for several years.Eventually, my wife said, ‘Let’s move to a jeonse lease, ‘so I sold it again.I bought it for 90 million won including the restoration fee and sold it for exactly 90 million won.”

He continued, “But fortunately, the apartments didn’ t go up right after I sold them.They went up in Ahyeon-dong a long time later,” and smiled in relief, saying, “If they had gone up right then, it would have been heartbreaking.”

Ji Seok-jin continued to check real estate prices, but confessed, “I’ve never really had any fun investing in real estate,” and “I’m interested in it a lot, but it doesn’t work out well when I try to do it,” causing laughter.
