A ''For Sale'' banner hangs at a restaurant that closed due to the economic downturn in Sangju, South Korea, on June 25, 2025. The Korean government's plan to wipe out long-overdue personal debts of up to 50 million won ($36,672) sparks growing controversy over fairness in the policy's application. Because the cap applies per loan rather than per borrower, individuals with multiple qualifying debts could see amounts exceeding 50 million won fully forgiven.
