My First

Arigato, dear investor,

Last night was my first ever BlackPink concert… and wow, the girls were simply amazing.
But beyond the music, lights and energy — I walked away with a few powerful reminders that surprisingly apply to life and investing too.

Here are my biggest takeaways:

1. You don’t need permission to look good

I was honestly shocked by how many people dressed up — head-to-toe BlackPink outfits, sparkles, boots, everything. People were expressing themselves simply because they felt like it.

And being surrounded by people who put in effort to show up beautifully… it felt good.

A sweet reminder:
You don’t need permission to look good, to feel good, or to show up as the best version of yourself — in life and in investing.

2. Cat 1 tickets ≠ better experience

My sister and I got Cat 1 tickets thinking the “better seats” would mean the better experience. Turns out… not really. The crowd around us wasn’t very high or hyped, so the vibe wasn’t what we expected.

A powerful reminder:
Your environment matters more than your position.
In investing, in friendships, in your workplace — the people around you can lift you higher or drain your energy.

Choose your environment wisely.

3. When you give your best, people can feel it

Among all four members, Lisa stood out the most for me.
Her energy, her precision, her stage presence… she gave everything she had.

Even if you’re not a BlackPink fan, you can feel her aura.

It reminded me of something simple yet powerful:
When you give your best — people can tell.
Whether it’s your career, your business, or your financial journey, the effort you put in eventually shows.

4. You become someone’s role model without even knowing

Towards the end, the big screens flashed to young fans dancing… some were only 5 or 6 years old.
Tiny bodies, but dancing exactly like BlackPink — confident, expressive, unafraid.

And it hit me:
Someone is always watching us.
Someone is learning from the way we live, the way we work, how we behave.

So live with values you’re proud to pass on.

5. Even superstars know the importance of investing

BlackPink members make millions.
But even they know nothing lasts forever.
That’s why Jennie launched her own business and agency — creating new income streams and long-term stability.

If global superstars prepare for financial uncertainty… we should too.

And if you’re ready to take the first step into investing — safely and confidently — I’ve put together something precious for you.

Crash Expert: “This Looks Like 1929” → 70,000 Hedging Here

Mark Spitznagel, who made $1B in a single day during the 2015 flash crash, warns markets are mimicking 1929. Yeah, just another oracle spouting gloom and doom, right?

Vanguard and Goldman Sachs forecast just 5% and 3% annual S&P returns respectively for the next decade (2024-2034).

Bonds? Not much better.

Enough warning signals—what’s something investors can actually do to diversify this week?

Almost no one knows this, but postwar and contemporary art appreciated 11.2% annually with near-zero correlation to equities from 1995–2024, according to Masterworks Data.

And sure… billionaires like Bezos and Gates can make headlines at auction, but what about the rest of us?

Masterworks makes it possible to invest in legendary artworks by Banksy, Basquiat, Picasso, and more – without spending millions.

23 exits. Net annualized returns like 17.6%, 17.8%, and 21.5%. $1.2 billion invested.

Shares in new offerings can sell quickly but…
