Intense Competition Among In-House Talents Including Cube Geniuses and Mensa Members
Prime Club Regular Broadcast Preliminary and Main Rounds Accumulate Over 9,300 Concurrent Viewers

KB Securities announced on the 5th that Kim Jin-sung, assistant manager at the Songpa Branch and known as the "Cube Genius," was selected as the final winner of the in-house overseas stock expert competition program "2023 Superstar KB (Suseukaebi)."

The 2023 Superstar KB (Suseukaebi) is an overseas stock survival competition program held through the KB Securities Prime Club regular broadcast, where employees within KB Securities introduce their own content related to overseas stocks to customers, and the final winner is selected through real-time voting by customers.

First, eight teams were selected and held preliminary rounds over two days from the 17th to 18th of last month. The managers who advanced to the finals were Jo Sun-ki, head of the Bangeojin Branch (nickname Iron Jo), Kim Jin-sung, assistant manager of the Songpa Branch (nickname Jintto Baegi), Kwon Tae-woo, manager of the WM Products Department (nickname Air Taxi Driver), and Baek Doo-san, deputy general manager of the Yeonsu Branch (nickname Baek Doo-san).

The final round was held on August 30th, where Kim Jin-sung from the Songpa Branch gave a presentation titled "The Obesity Treatment Drug Craze, Don't Jump In," receiving a total of 417 votes and winning the championship.

Kim Jin-sung’s presentation focused on targeting stocks related to blood glucose meters, which had been overlooked due to the surge in obesity treatment drug stocks. Through this, he introduced contrarian trading strategies that create opportunities beyond simply chasing rapidly rising stocks, leaving a strong impression on customers.

At the awards ceremony, Assistant Manager Kim said, "It was a great honor just to participate in the competition with such excellent colleagues, and through this event, I feel my insights into overseas stocks have expanded even further. Going forward, I want to grow as a private banker (PB) specialized in overseas stocks and have a positive influence on many customers."

The preliminary rounds of the KB Securities Prime Club regular broadcast attracted over 6,400 cumulative simultaneous viewers over two days, with a total of 2,249 valid votes (allowing multiple votes). This customer interest continued into the finals, which recorded 2,879 simultaneous viewers and 1,256 valid votes.

Park Jung-rim, CEO of KB Securities, said, "I believe that the high-quality content created by the employees participating in this competition provided customers watching the Prime Club broadcast with valuable insights into overseas stock investment. KB Securities plans to continue preparing fresh and engaging programs that allow us to communicate with customers as a lifelong investment partner growing together with them."
