Author's Note:
All prices are in Korean Won. The following equivalents use 2025 values to give a sense of scale. (Note: Exchange rates fluctuate, so these are rounded approximations.)
₩10,000 — A casual meal for one (e.g., Korean BBQ lunch).
₩50,000 — A week's worth of groceries for one person.
₩100,000 — A fancy dinner or a mid-range tech accessory.
₩500,000 — High-quality sneakers or a premium dinner for two.
₩1,000,000 — A new smartphone or modest monthly rent outside Seoul.
₩3,000,000 — A high-end gaming PC or average monthly rent in Seoul.
₩30,000,000 — A used car (Hyundai/Kia) or a lease deposit.
₩100,000,000 — A luxury car (e.g., Genesis G90, BMW 5 Series).
₩1,000,000,000 — A small apartment in Seoul or a house in the countryside.
Context: Amounts like ₩850 million or ₩1 billion represent major assets (property, luxury vehicles). Smaller figures relate to everyday spending. For narrative flow, no conversions will appear within the novel itself.
