Young South Korean crypto enthusiasts are reportedly increasingly shunning YouTube – once their favorite resource for crypto investment advice and token-related talk – in favor of TikTok-based crypto content-makers.
Per Chosun, Generation Z investors are increasingly looking to broaden their horizons – sinking their wages from part-time jobs into crypto and stock investments, based on a mix of “economic textbooks and TikTok videos.”
Janet Cho, an IT journalist based in Seoul, told Our that most South Korean people who take to social media platforms for crypto were likely “just horsing around” or “killing time” with apps like TikTok or YouTube, but added,
“I decided to invest after watching content that is being posted on TikTok these days. There are a lot of people [like me] who also get their financial and investment information from TikTok.”
