Cosmic Girls' Soobin revealed she made a huge mistake with cryptocurrency.
On the November 17th episode of 'Yong Jin's Health Center', Cosmic Girls' Exy, Soobin, and Seola were asked about the girl group's finances. Soobin then shared, "I bought cryptocurrency and stock when they were the most expensive to buy. I bought coin when it was the highest at 80,000 Won ($59.20 USD)."
Exy commented, "That's why she whines a lot when crypto is not doing well," and Seola added, "Her feelings go along with the crypto graph." Soobin expressed, "I think I had a hard time when it happened. Now that I've been down there, I've given up a little."
She further revealed, "I'm -80%. My stocks are also at -60%."

I know that many idols are often sheltered, with some even saying they didn't know how to open and manage their own bank accounts before. But in this case, I'll give Soobin some credit in that MANY average people have tried and failed at Crypto. Like many financial markets it's fickle (but also HIGHLY more volatile than average stocks), and people who want to invest need to be prepared for either a long term investment or quick loss. Navigating crypto is possible but arguably not without issue. Hopefully this won't turn her off from investing, but perhaps in the future she should acquire the services of someone who works in the field to better guide her portfolio.
