"JTBC는 망할 걸 알고 있었다" 개미에게 떠넘긴 7,900억 빚폭탄의 진실

716%. A company's bond yield hit 716%. However, this was not a "jackpot profit," but a terrifying figure where the market effectively pronounced a death sentence, warning that "even the principal won't be recovered." JTBC, a broadcaster familiar to us through shows like "Sky Castle" and "Itaewon Class" after 15 years in business. Yet, the even more shocking fact is that right up until filing for rehabilitation, the company was selling a staggering 441.4 billion won worth of risky debt instruments—which even institutional investors were reluctant to invest in—to unsuspecting retail investors. A massive media group that collapsed after nine years of capital impairment, a debt ratio of 1,700%, and ultimately failing to repay 20.6 billion won. They churned out blockbuster hits, yet where did all the money disappear to, and who, knowing full well it would lead to collapse, dumped this debt bomb onto ordinary people? From the desperate cries of retail investors gathered in front of the Sangam-dong headquarters to the IP theft scheme and the hidden connection between Samsung and the Hong family — we have summarized the full story of JTBC's downfall from beginning to end. ※ This video was produced based on publicly available press releases and does not recommend the purchase or sale of any specific stock or product.
