Park Sung-kwang's Wife Lee Sol-i Reveals She's Down Big on SK Hynix Stock: 'I Want to Cry'

Lee Sol-i, wife of comedian Park Sung-kwang, shared a candid moment on social media after SK Hynix stock tumbled sharply, revealing she had bought shares at around 2.8 million won each. With the stock closing down nearly 10% and trading as low as 1.2 million won intraday, her paper losses are significant. She's coping the best way she knows how: looking at happy photos and, occasionally, letting herself cry.

OMONAR

Lee Sol-i had a rough day on the markets, and she wasn't about to pretend otherwise. On the 29th, Park Sung-kwang's wife took to her social media to post a short, blunt message: "I want to cry."

She followed it up with a little more context, writing that she was coping by scrolling through happy photos from better days. "That's my therapy," she added. "Well, sometimes a good cry is therapy too." The mood was clearly bittersweet.

The reason for the tears came in a follow-up post. Lee Sol-i shared a screenshot of a direct message exchange with a friend, in which the friend described the recent stock market drop as feeling like "moving into a top-floor unit in a chapter of history." Lee Sol-i's reply was direct: "I'm at Hynix 280", confirming she had bought shares of SK Hynix at around 2.8 million won per share. Her friend responded, "One more fellow traveler," and the two commiserated over their shared situation.

The timing was painful. SK Hynix fell nearly 20% intraday on the same day, briefly touching the 1.2 million won range before recovering some ground. The stock ultimately closed at 1,401,000 won, down 9.61% from the previous session. The sell-off came despite strong earnings results from the company, catching many retail investors who bought near the peak off guard. For anyone sitting at 2.8 million won, the math is not comfortable.

What made fans pay attention wasn't just the financial candor, it was how Lee Sol-i handled it. Rather than staying quiet or playing it off, she shared the specific number, the DM exchange, and her emotional state with a lightness that clearly resonated. Comments flooded in from followers who recognized their own investing anxiety in her posts.

Lee Sol-i married comedian Park Sung-kwang in 2020, and the couple became a familiar presence on the SBS variety show Dong Sang I Mong 2 (You Are My Destiny), which follows married couples through the rhythms of everyday life. Last year, Lee Sol-i disclosed that she had been battling a women's cancer diagnosis, and she has since completed surgery and chemotherapy. She is currently in a maintenance phase, continuing with regular check-ups and medication.

Recently, some social media posts sparked rumors of tension between the couple, but Lee Sol-i addressed those directly, cautioning fans against reading too much into things. Park Sung-kwang reinforced the message by leaving affectionate public comments on her posts. By all visible signs, the two remain solid, even if their portfolio is having a harder week than their marriage.
