According to Wu Blockchain’s report, the South Korean parliamentary government committee began conducting state oversight of the Luna-Terra incident in October, in which Simon Seojoon Kim, CEO of crypto venture capital firm Hashed, was selected as a witness in the case. Saying that she needed psychological support during this period, Kim sought expert opinion and medical help.
Hashed, one of Terra LUNA’s biggest supporters, was one of the first investors of the project. He continued to support his plan to launch UST, which would later become a stablecoin for the ecosystem. In an interview with Bloomberg in August 2022, Kim Seo-joon revealed that the fund has purchased 30 million LUNA, valued at up to $3.6 billion when it peaked in April 2022. The famous CEO says he is now experiencing panic attacks due to his losses.
“I am being treated at the hospital”
The explosion of TerraUSD and its associated token LUNA in May dealt a major blow to Kim Seo-joon and his company, Hashed. Kim said he lost most of the 30 million LUNA he bought in the early days of the project. When the LUNA price peaked on April 5, it would have been worth $3.6 billion. The CEO now says he’s being treated in hospital for his mental health:
I have been receiving treatment at the hospital since July 29. I receive both medication and psychological support. My stress situation and mental health are extremely bad. Symptoms keep getting worse. I suffer from irregular illnesses and panic attacks on stress and anxiety issues.
