During breaks, she took a cleaning job at a motel in Gampo, between Ulsan and Gyeongju, to earn more.<\/p>\n<div>\n<figure class=\"photo-layout\" image photo_138208 float-center data-idxno=\"138208\" data-type=\"photo\"><img alt=\"src=contents\/crawler-dev\/image\/2026\/05\/CP-2024-0004\/image-6cf3d2bc-f516-4304-9c69-6630e3caea9a.jpeg\"><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Although Gampo is a tourist town, it was quiet, and the job included room and board plus more than 1,000,000 KRW a month (about $750), so she took it. Tuition at the time was 3,000,000 KRW (about $2,250), and she said she had no choice but to work.<\/p>\n<p>Shim cleaned motel rooms throughout the winter break and endured a difficult stretch. Though the busy period from Dec. 24\u201331 doubled her hourly pay, she said she couldn&#8217;t enjoy Christmas or the year\u2011end at all.<\/p>\n<p>She even agreed to give up her room for extra income and ended up living in a storage room, she confessed. The memory of cleaning alone and crying while everyone else celebrated still feels vivid.<\/p>\n<p>Photo: Shim Jin\u2011hwa, MBN &#8216;Sokpulisho Dongchimi&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Photo: Shim Jin\u2011hwa,
