Kim So-young, the suspect in the "Gangbuk Motel Serial Murder Case," is facing a damages lawsuit filed by the families of the victims.

It has been reported that she submitted a written opinion to the court stating that she cannot afford the compensation amount.

Let us take a look at the details.

According to documents obtained by the legal representative for the bereaved families, Kim wrote that "the compensation amount, which includes an annual interest rate of 12 percent, is an unaffordable sum."

The victims' families are currently pursuing a civil lawsuit against Kim So-young and her parents, seeking a total of 30 million won in damages.

Kim argued that "the amount claimed by the plaintiffs is a sum so large that I could not pay it even if I worked until I die." She further demanded that "the plaintiffs should bear the litigation costs and only claim an amount that I can earn and repay over my lifetime."

Kim So-young is currently under arrest and indicted on charges of providing drug-laced drinks to three men in their 20s between December of last year and February of this year, resulting in the deaths of two and leaving one unconscious.
