[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kang Joo-hee] Ahn Sun-young shared an anecdote about being defrauded of a billion won by an acquaintance.
On the afternoon of the 26th, the KBS2 variety show 'Happy Together 4' featured Ham So-won, Hong Ji-min, Ahn Sun-young, and Kim Bin-woo as guests.
On this day, when asked, "I heard you continued hosting your radio show even after being scammed," Ahn Sun-young began, "Having been a radio DJ for five years, all sorts of things happen."
She continued, "The person was an investment expert who appeared on an economic program I was on. Since lying on air would be a big problem, I thought I could trust him," and added, "One day, a sister I knew said, 'Come to Yeouido quickly. Something serious happened.' When I went, creditors had gathered at the office that had been glamorous just a few days before, and it was completely empty. The employees were crying their eyes out," she revealed.
She went on, "I realized I had been scammed. It was money I had saved to use when getting married. It was in the billions of won. My mind went blank, but it was time for my radio show. Since the show was from 4 to 6 PM, I had to deliver a message of hope to office workers. Someone requested Wax's 'Mother's Diary' as a song. From that moment, I couldn't control my emotions and cried," she said.
Ahn Sun-young advised, "Since then, I absolutely do not engage in stocks or commodities. I only deal with tangible things. If someone offers interest rates higher than banks, be suspicious first."
