Korean broadcaster Gangnam buys Pokémon card with 21–46 million won going rate
Broadcaster Gangnam bought a high-end Pokémon card on his YouTube channel, according to Chosunbiz. The video showed recent transactions for that card type ranging from about 21 million won to 46 million won depending on condition, and he hesitated before paying.
A celebrity agonising over an eight-figure-won card is decent entertainment, but the card itself is never named, which limits what this tells anyone about actual pricing. It does show the high end of the Korean market is active enough to anchor YouTube content. Treat the quoted range as colour, not a comp, until a real sale with a named card and grade surfaces.
