Kim Kwang-kyu lost all his money due to stocks and even stood on the Han River bridge with extreme thoughts



Actor Kim Kwang-kyu confessed his difficult youth.

Actor Kim Kwang-kyu appeared as a guest on star instructor Lee Ji-young's YouTube channel on the 8th.

Lee Ji-young said "I searched because I heard Kwang-gyu was coming, and there were so many jobs. He drove a taxi and tried many jobs, but he didn't miss his dream of becoming an actor until the end and later entered college as a student. You must have spent your 20s wandering around."




In response, Kim Kwang-gyu "I had no dreams in middle and high school. The idea was that I had to make money unconditionally. I just thought that I should be of help to home."I went to the military for five years as a scholarship student at the Ministry of National Defense and harmed myself as a professional soldier. As soon as I was discharged from the military, I decided to save money, so I started a taxi right away."

He then revealed how he became an actor when he said, "I left money at the age of 30 and said, "Let's do what I want to do once and think again, but I became an actor and now I'm here."

Kim Kwang-gyu, who came to Seoul in 1999, also confessed to the difficult times when he lost all his fortune in stocks. Kim Kwang-gyu came to Apgujeong Gosiwon with almost no money after losing all his money in stocks. There was a saying then. 'Do you want to succeed? Stand you on the edge of the cliff.' So I stood on the Han River bridge a lot at the time. "Going up Yanghwa Bridge. I went because I was so tired. But I didn't have the courage to die. It was so hard at the time."




Lee Ji-young asks "Did you not do stocks after that?" but Kim Kwang-kyu says " I said I wouldn't do it, but the money..." he confessed, making me laugh.

Kim Kwang-gyu said "I thought about how successful I was going to be when this ordeal came. It was so hard when I lived in Apgujeong Gosiwon to sell out my stock. I kept failing auditions, I was sick, and I cried in front of the hospital because I didn't have a hospital bill"So I thought about it while sleeping in the Gosiwon. 'How big a person I am to give you this kind of ordeal to become. "I thought that my autobiography would sell well later.' I suddenly thought of that.'

Kim Kwang-kyu said, `When I read a book about success, the most common saying is that the first way to success is to love yourself. Since then, he has been hugging me in Apgujeong, but he was scammed by lease. I don't know how much I slapped my cheek for three months. For 12 years, I received 30,000 won and 50,000 won in appearance fees and entered the charter. Then, I went back to my original intentions."
