Korean star Jun Ji-hyun's husband faces huge losses due to investment in blockchain game company Wemade

according to ChosunBiz, South Korean star Jun Ji Hyun's husband Choi Jun Hee's Alpha Asset Management suffered a major loss in its investment in game company Wemade. Alpha invested a total of 35 billion Korean won in Wemade stocks in 2023 and 2024, and now faces an accumulated loss of 15.8 billion Korean won due to a 28% drop in stock price. This decline is related to the delisting of Wemix virtual currency from South Korean exchanges for the second time, as the currency previously lost approximately 9 billion Korean won in assets due to a hacker attack. Wemix is a virtual currency issued by Wemade through its subsidiary.
