A 30-year-old young man who studied hard since his school days and entered a university in Seoul faced a crisis following a sudden job loss. Finding re-employment was not easy, and he began accumulating credit card debt bit by bit for immediate living expenses and his mother's medical bills, which has now ballooned to 86 million won. Trapped in a quagmire of debt, he is currently repaying his liabilities under a court-approved individual rehabilitation program. He studied hard and lived diligently, but all that remains is debt.
