Kim Sook's clothing store closed → stock failure → game addiction is bad..It was a dark age



'Uquiz' Kim Sook recalled the days when she was lost in games.

On tvN 'You Quiz on the Block', which aired on the 4th, singer Hae-hae, who became a professor at an American university, and comedian Kim Sook, who celebrated her 30th anniversary this year, appeared.

On this day, Kim Sook mentioned the story of starting a clothing store as a side job, and the period when he wandered away while disappearing from the broadcasting industry.




Kim Sook said, `At the time, I thought it was hard to make a living on TV. I can't wait for the casting, so I thought I should do a side job. At first, I ran a clothing store at Ewha Womans University. But that's when I knew my personality. I knew 'I hate people'. In the end, he confessed, "I closed my clothes household in two months."

Kim Sook also touched stocks. At that time, I was going to buy a compact car with a savings of 6 million won, and I met a writer. But the writer recommended stocks. Let's just put it in for four months and they say, 'Let's go grander.'" I believed that he was a senior. So I invested 6 million won in stocks. However, 6 million won became 200,000 won,' he confessed to the reason for the loss in stocks.

Since then, Kim Sook has been addicted to games for two years. He said "The game money was worth 2 trillion at the time. We played a lot of games, and Yoo Jae-suk recalled, `At that time, Kim Sook started not to be seen on the air.'




Kim Sook "I have about four computers at home. It was a real addiction then. I stay up all night and go to bed around 10 a.m. And I wake up in the evening and eat. Day and night have completely changed. I spent the dark ages at 25-26"Then I was surprised to see myself in the mirror. My whole face was in the shade. He was young, but his face was rotten. I wondered if this was me. Since then, I have stopped drinking, smoking, and playing games. I ended my two-year addiction to games,' he confessed. He "Actually, I wanted to work, but I didn't come in, so I think I was upset with the broadcasting station. I wanted to do a broadcast, so I only moved around Yeouido."

Kim Sook said, "There was a time when I wandered around for a while, but I lived a really fierce life"If you have a dream to achieve something, don't give up for now. I don't think there's any meaningless time," he said with sincerity.
