Broadcaster and attorney Seo Dong-ju revealed that during her early career as a junior lawyer, she invested her entire salary in virtual assets, which tripled in value within three months, and that she subsequently purchased a home.
Seo Dong-ju shared her past experience investing in Bitcoin and Ethereum in a video posted on her YouTube channel 'Seo Dong-ju's Tto.Do.Dong' on the 12th.
Seo explained that she first became interested in virtual assets while working as a junior lawyer at a U.S. law firm. She recalled, "A blockchain department was established at the law firm where I worked. When I asked senior lawyers what blockchain was, they explained that everything would eventually be tokenized and moved on-chain."
She continued, "As an enthusiastic junior at the time, I invested my entire salary in Bitcoin and Ethereum. It tripled in value within three months. Later, I used those gains to buy a house."
Seo also noted that she had invested in various virtual assets beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum. She said, "I have extensive experience, having tried everything from Ripple and Litecoin to altcoins and meme coins."
These investment experiences later proved helpful in her broadcasting career. Seo explained that during an interview for a hosting position on the economic YouTube channel '3PROTV', she was asked if she knew about virtual assets and shared her investment background. She stated, "I did not invest with the intention of working at 3PROTV from the start," adding, "Seeing how past experiences have led to my current work over time makes me feel that everything in life is connected."
Meanwhile, Seo recently served as a moderator for a discussion on stablecoins at the global blockchain event 'Korea Blockchain Week (KBW) 2026'. She conducted the approximately 30-minute discussion in English with four overseas participants and also revealed the process of preparing questions herself prior to the event.
Meanwhile, Seo Dong-ju is the daughter of the late comedian Seo Se-won and broadcaster Seo Jung-hee. She graduated from the University of San Francisco School of Law and worked as an attorney at a local law firm in the United States. She has since been active as a broadcaster in South Korea.
