Young People Head to Court... Looking Into Their Individual Stories

○ [News Story] Young People Who Diligently Went Bankrupt..."Burdened with Debt Upon Graduation" (Broadcast on July 26, 2026)

Kang In-soo, a professor in the Department of Economics at Sookmyung Women's University, pointed out that "there are certainly aspects of society that are turning unfriendly toward the youth," noting that the cost of entering society itself has become too high. In addition, lawyer Park Ki-tae, who has met many young people as a rehabilitation and bankruptcy expert, cited "the reality where income growth fails to keep pace with asset growth and the shortage of quality jobs for young people" as the causes of youth bankruptcy. Youth debt is not merely the result of borrowing money, but stems from a labor market where preparing for the future is difficult even with diligent work.
