○ [Newstory] Young People Who Diligently Went Broke... "Drowning in Debt Right Upon Graduation" (Broadcast on July 26, 2026)

An office worker in their 30s, who fell victim to jeonse fraud twice in a row, started taking on multiple jobs after facing the risk of losing her deposit. Aside from her main job, she says she works five fixed part-time jobs. She suffers from pain all over her body, but says she cannot stop working due to the constant anxiety of potentially losing her job and falling into debt. Starting with university student loans, the pressures of job scarcity, jeonse fraud, and high inflation are returning as heavy debts weighing down the lives of young people. Experts interpret that youth debt is no longer a matter of personal spending habits or financial awareness, but rather another facet revealing the structural problems of our society.
