The captured image showed that A's total investment assets have exceeded 2.6 billion won. Notably, domestic stocks, which account for 75% of her portfolio, have yielded a return of 153%.

Regarding this, A explained, "I managed to grow my seed money by meticulously keeping two household ledgers," and added, "The fact that I bought Samsung Electronics’ high bandwidth memory (HBM) and foundry stocks back in 2024 when everyone thought they had failed and the share price plummeted, played a significant role." She reiterated, "It's surreal that my assets have surpassed 2 billion won."

She further commented, "I come from what's commonly called a 'dirt spoon' background, so I don't have any wealthy people around me to share or boast about this with," adding, "I decided to post here after searching for a space like a bamboo forest to vent."

She also shared, "I haven't sold a single share of my semiconductor-related stocks," and added, "Although I realized some profits over the past six years, my total initial investment was around 500 million won."

Netizens who saw A's post reacted with comments such as, "It's amazing to have made 2 billion won in just six years," "It's impressive that her seed money was 500 million won," "It's motivating," and "Long-term investment in semiconductors seems to be the answer."

Meanwhile, the KOSPI index, which was in the 2,400 range in January 2024, closed at 7,498.00 on the 8th, surging more than 200% over the past two years.
