On the 3rd, Park appeared on the YouTube channel 'Ungdal Bookstore' in a video titled 'Don't Miss This Stock. I’m Revealing My Account,' where he disclosed his stock account balance as of July 30.
According to the video, his portfolio, which he had consistently recommended for secondary battery stocks, was composed solely of secondary battery-related stocks. He invested 450 million KRW and earned a total profit of approximately 385 million KRW, recording a total return of 85.50%. The stock balance was around 836.6 million KRW.
Park, a former analyst at Daehan Investment Trust (now Hana Securities), has emphasized the growth potential of the secondary battery industry through YouTube and various broadcasts. The stocks he mainly mentioned include Ecopro, Ecopro BM, POSCO Holdings, POSCO Future M, LG Energy Solution, LG Chem, SK Innovation, and Nano New Material.

Among the eight secondary battery stocks he had recommended, Park was invested in seven companies excluding POSCO Future M.
The highest return in Park’s portfolio was Ecopro, with a return of 552.20%. He held 300 shares at an average price of 169,272 KRW, with the current stock valuation at 280.41 million KRW.
Additionally, he recently invested nearly 200 million KRW in Mirae Asset’s ETF ‘TIGER Secondary Battery Materials Fn,’ which focuses on secondary battery cathode material companies. This investment accounted for the largest proportion at 44% of his portfolio.
Next, he invested in POSCO Holdings (51.41 million KRW), Ecopro BM (51.31 million KRW), and Ecopro (50.78 million KRW). He also invested about 45 million KRW in LG Chem, 20 million KRW each in LG Energy Solution and SK Innovation, and approximately 12 million KRW in Nano New Material.
Park, who disclosed his account, emphasized the importance of 'diversified investment.' He said, "Please discard the sly thought that you can just go all-in on Ecopro," adding, "You can put special emphasis on one stock, but the ratio should not exceed 40%, and you should diversify your investments across 5 to 10 stocks."
