Comedian-turned-investor Hwang Hyun-hee advised against entering the stock market currently during an appearance on YouTube channel 'Lee Hong-ryeol TV' published on the 17th. Hwang stated the current market with daily swings of 7% up and 8% down is 'a market for professionals, not beginners,' when asked about investing 100 million won in spare funds. He emphasized waiting for news of an AI bubble burst, which he predicts will emerge by year-end likely starting from the US, before considering market entry. Hwang, a former KBS comedian who transitioned to investment after leaving KBS 2TV's Gag Concert, has gained attention for his investment expertise and clarified previous reports claiming he held 10 billion won in assets.
Hwang Recommends Waiting for Market Correction Signal
Hwang advised prioritizing investment education and market flow analysis over hasty investment decisions. He stated, 'Wait until year-end, and suddenly articles like "AI bubble bursting" will appear. It will probably burst in the US first.' He added, 'Then a correction phase will likely come.' Hwang emphasized his personal stance: 'Even if a knife comes to my neck, I won't invest now. This is a market to stay one step away from, and because I am a cycle investor, I must see at least -30% from the previous high before starting investment.'
Investment Strategy for 100 Million Won Allocation
Regarding the method for investing 100 million won, Hwang presented a specific approach: divide the amount into five portions of 20 million won each, then purchase 20 million won at every 5% drop starting from a 15% decline from the previous high. This staged entry method aims to average down during market corrections rather than entering at current price levels.
QQQ and SPY ETFs Recommended as Investment Vehicles
For specific investment products, Hwang recommended QQQ and SPY, representative ETFs that track the Nasdaq 100 Index and S&P 500 Index respectively. These broad market index ETFs provide diversified exposure to US technology and large-cap stocks without requiring individual stock selection.
