'Mr. Jee, the Self-Taught Investor' Episode 6: Park Jin-young Shares Practical Financial Planning and Retirement Strategies

Netflix’s variety show ‘Mr. Jee, the Self-Taught Investor’ airs its sixth episode at 5 p.m. on the 27th, featuring Park Jin-young, CEO of the finance media outlet Appity, to discuss practical financial topics ranging from domestic stock market outlooks to asset allocation and retirement planning strategies. This episode builds upon the previous one’s foundation in basic stock investing for beginners by introducing more advanced asset management methods.

In this episode, where the participants’ starkly different investment styles stand out, the aggressive investor Ji Seok-jin and the conservative investor Mimi made contrasting choices once again. During a balance game titled “1 billion won at once vs. 3 million won per month,” Mimi opted for 3 million won per month, saying she wanted to receive that amount until her death, while Ji Seok-jin chose 1 billion won, asserting, “You have to go all in at once.” This scenario clearly reveals the distinct investment philosophies of the cast members even when faced with the same question.

The discussion continues with realistic concerns about retirement planning. Regarding pension accounts, which carry significant penalties if terminated early, Ji Seok-jin admitted, “I might end up quitting in the middle. People like us who are P-type (improvisational) can’t do it,” explaining the characteristics of P-type individuals. When the topic of “fire族,” who aim to retire in their 30s or 40s, came up, Mimi stated firmly, “I will work until I’m 100. I’ll keep working until my death,” clearly expressing her own values regarding retirement preparation.

During this part of the episode, a question was raised—“Stocks, cryptocurrencies, gold, what’s next?”—which captured viewers’ interest. At Park Jin-young’s remark, Ji Seok-jin responded enthusiastically, “This is fresh! Everyone, write this down,” further raising expectations for the upcoming episode. This installment, which combines Ji Seok-jin and Mimi’s extreme differences in investment styles with practical advice from an economic expert, airs every Monday at 5 p.m. on Netflix.
