This post is going viral because it perfectly captures the relatable frustration many Koreans feel about the perceived arbitrary nature of summary judgments, where minor fines can seem to be decided on a judge's whim.
Okay, so someone went to a *jeukgyeol shimpan* (summary judgment) hearing, and the post is literally just describing the judge going full main character. Like, 'You? Fine this much, *ttang-ttang*.' 'You? Your excuse is too long, so fine this much, *ttang-ttang*.' 'You? Nah, denied, *ttang-ttang*.' And that was literally it. The way they just decided everything on a whim? Wild.

@ChukkuGong Nim, yeah it's clear, but people go to try and get their fines adjusted. And judges just lowkey cut you a break if they like you, but if you ramble on with excuses? Nah, no discount for you. 💀
Wait, isn't summary judgment just for when the wrongdoing is already super clear? Like, no debate? 🤔
That's why we have the 3-tier court system, bestie. And now you can even hit up the Constitutional Court for extra review. 💅
@MangoJuiceBanana Nim, the Constitutional Court isn't a 4th tier, it's for constitutional review. So it's not like an 'extra' appeal, fr. 🤓
