This post is blowing up because it perfectly captures the raw, relatable struggle of hitting rock bottom and trying to claw your way back. The self-deprecating humor and specific details, like using Kakao VoiceTalk because your phone is suspended, resonate with many Koreans who've faced financial hardship or know someone who has.
Okay, so this post is from Singgeulbeonggeul Jigucheon Gallery, and OP starts with a bang, no cap. They were a total `앰생` – like, a complete deadbeat loser, fr fr. We're talking phone bills unpaid, micro-transactions overdue, and rent so far behind their landlord was legit kicking them out. So, what's a broke boi to do? They dove headfirst into their first `노가다` gig in December 2016, doing support work and outdoor construction. The pic they shared is from about a month into it, early January. But then, while on site, they started hearing whispers about a huge semiconductor company – Samsung, no less – setting up shop in `평택`. Naturally, OP grabbed some random `아재` and was like, 'Yo, do they pay well there? How do I even get in?' The way they called from the terminal using `카톡 보이스톡` because their phone was suspended? I'm screaming. They were told to go to 'Her Donkatsu' in front of Pyeongtaek Station, and when they got there, they were asked why they used VoiceTalk. Their reply? 'My phone's suspended 'cause I didn't pay the bills.' The absolute audacity, I'm dead 💀.
