The MBC entertainment program Save Me, Holmes visited the financial hub of South Korea, Yeouido, to discuss economic outlooks and candidly negotiate stock investments as the new year of 2026 approached.
In the episode aired on the 8th, a time was set to check the actual stock investment skills of the cast members ahead of their visit to Yeouido. Actor Lee Sang-yeob confessed bitterly that he had never made a profit from stocks, saying that when he buys, they drop, and when he sells, they rise. In contrast, the brothers Yang Se-hyung and Yang Se-chan, along with Jang Dong-min, revealed they were in the profit zone, creating a strange consensus that comedians are strong in stocks, which brought laughter.
What particularly caught attention during the broadcast was the profession of Lee Sang-yeob's wife. While having coffee together, Jang Dong-min asked about her job, and Lee Sang-yeob explained that she does not work directly in securities but in the project financing (PF) field, specifically stating that she has a professional job that involves raising funds for projects.
Lee Sang-yeob added that due to the nature of her job, his wife is restricted from trading stocks. When Joo Woo-jae jokingly suggested a conspiracy theory that she might be leaking insider information to Lee Sang-yeob, he cleverly rebutted, saying that if that were the case, he should have made a profit by now, causing everyone to burst into laughter.
Park Min-soo, who appeared as an expert, provided further explanation. He emphasized that employees of securities firms can trade stocks based on regular reporting to the company, but professions that handle internal corporate information are legally restricted, and the act of privately conveying undisclosed information is clearly illegal, helping the viewers understand.
Even after the recent news of fixed member Park Na-rae's departure, Save Me, Holmes continues to showcase beneficial information like the Yeouido visit and the delightful chemistry of its members, maintaining its relevance in the new year.
