[ +82] 10 million Won a month.. Your life is only worth that much tsk tsk. There are people making that much money selling chicken but your risking your life for that much… I suspect that your brain is a little off… Even if you do that for ten years, you wont be afford but a little house in Gangnam.. Isn’t it better to work hard for something that is worth doing? There are times that life is hard but it is worth trying.. Having children and working hard.. isn’t that worth living for? Money isn’t everything in life.

[ +19] I never press like on his post

[ +4] To be honest, isn’t it his decision? I don’t think people have the right to criticize
