On the 13th, JTBC's "Case Leader" introduced the story of Ms. A, a woman in her 30s who was suffering because of a colleague at work.
According to A, his coworker B is not his superior at work, but is called a senior in the company because of his age. Recently, B became independent and demanded housewarming gifts from his juniors.
He reportedly sent them links to expensive items like TVs and sofas, telling them that "gifts should be things the recipient needs."
A said, "I chose a small one to fit in my studio apartment, but the TV alone cost 500,000 won (
"The price was about 54,000 yen," he said, "and it seemed like a stretch to give one person a present." The juniors agreed with A's opinion, but each of them bought the items they were asked to give.
However, after receiving the gift, B did not invite his colleagues to his house, and one of his juniors said, "I gave you a gift (a few months ago), but when will you give me a housewarming gift?"
When asked, "What do you mean?", Mr. B suddenly canceled the celebration, saying, "I'm not going to give you a housewarming gift." Furthermore, Mr. A said that Mr. B had previously asked his young successor for a "return to work gift."
After learning the truth, Mr. A expressed his frustration, saying, "I received a gift in the name of a housewarming gift, and then he canceled the celebration. I can't understand my senior's behavior."
Internet users who heard this story responded with comments such as, "I want my housewarming gift back," and "I don't understand why someone would ask for an expensive gift from someone they're not close to."
He showed his response.
