Making 10 billion won with 3 million won

A success shared through open information on securities investment

Bok Jae-seong is the person who made 10 billion won with a stock investment of 3 million won. He made himself in his 20s a super ant (individual stock investor) followed by the youngest stock analyst in the nation at the age of 23. 

He enjoyed his heyday that everybody knew his name in the stock industry and many of them copied the way he did. The reason he got attention was not only because of his success story, but also because he took on the role of helping other investors. He cited investors’ lack of information as the reason why people fail to invest in stocks. At that time, there was not enough community to share information about investment more than now, and there was also a lack of means to sort out wrong information, so the rate of people who failed to invest was high. In 2006, he established the Bok Jae Seong VIP Center named after himself to help ordinary people get proper investment information. In 2007, the name was changed to JS, and in 2013, the Bok Jae Seong refund system was introduced.

Win-win management for small businesses

Noblesse Oblige

What he always emphasized was win-win. To that end, he has emphased and practiced win-win management for small businesses as well as society. He is willing to help maximizing profits for small business owners and to suggest ways of making sustainable growth. In order to accelerate their business, he took a role as a talented individual investor providing mentoring in addition to investment knowhow. As a man of good heart, he also took a leading role in donating to and helping people in need that include giving out goods and scholarship. He also paid medical operation fees on behalf of the parents who were struggling with their baby’s surgery cost, while made donations to Unjeok Temple in Gunsan City. 

Bok anticipated strong dollar before it happened

Determination to keep carrying on donation

Last year, the won-dollar exchange rate exceeded 1,400 won. As of January 2023, the dollar went down to 1,200 won, which is still strong, and due to this, domestic interest rates have risen, and many investors have been losing money. All of this, Bok predicted before it happened. With this, he revealed that he still has a good sense of investment.

He has now closed all businesses and only gives free lectures and donations through an online cafe. He said he hoped to be remembered as an ordinary person whom no one recognized through his acquaintances, and said that he would just continue giving donations and free investment tips.
