Back in July, 'B' forced 'A' to buy a 125cc motorcycle for 1.4 million KRW, even though B had bought it used for only 700k. A only had 700k at the time, so he worked a chicken delivery part-time job to pay off the rest bit by bit.

But B started demanding more money under the guise of "late fees" because the payments were "slow." He frequently locked A in motels and beat him mercilessly. In just one month, the amount A handed over—by giving up his entire daily wages or borrowing from friends—reached nearly 5 million KRW.

On August 17th, two days before he died, A was caught driving without a license after someone reported him, and the police seized the motorcycle—his only means of making money. With no way to pay B and terrified of retaliation, A called his girlfriend in the early hours of August 19th, left a final message saying "Tell grandma I'm sorry," and took his own life.

It was revealed that on the dawn of the day A died, B went to the police station, retrieved the seized motorcycle, and sold it to someone else for 1.7 million KRW. Even though B had "sold" the bike to A, he never transferred the title, which allowed him to just take it back.
