A New Employee Who Paid 20,000 Won as a Congratulatory Gift and Took Her Boyfriend's Meal Ticket Too... "They Didn't Even Give Me a Wedding Invitation"

Paid 20,000 Won for Wedding Gift and Meal... Brought Boyfriend Along
"Just Young" vs "Rude" Netizens Debate Heatedly

A story has emerged about a new employee who was not given a wedding invitation but visited the wedding venue with her boyfriend, gave a congratulatory gift of 20,000 won, and even had a meal. Netizens are divided over the issue.

On the 7th, a post titled "A 25-year-old new employee came to the wedding" was uploaded on an online community. As of 4 p.m. on the 9th, the post had garnered 20,700 views and 100 recommendations, becoming a hot topic. The author, Mr. A, began by saying, "I held my wedding a few weeks ago and sent out invitations starting two months ago."

Mr. A explained, "The new employee joined the company a month ago. Since the new employee joined after the invitations were already sent out, and because it seemed a bit much to give an invitation to a junior employee, I did not give her an invitation separately." However, what was shocking was that on the wedding day, the new employee who did not receive an invitation came with her boyfriend.

Mr. A said, "(The new employee) gave a congratulatory gift of 20,000 won, received two meal tickets, and had a meal with her boyfriend." He added, "She didn’t even greet me and went straight to eat after getting the meal tickets." He continued, "Even if someone doesn’t have time to watch the ceremony, isn’t it normal to at least greet the host? When I talked to people around me, they said, 'She’s young, so it’s understandable,' and 'You should understand.' I want to ask if I’m being too sensitive."

Netizens who read the story responded with comments such as, "No matter how much you appreciate their coming without worrying about the meal cost, 20,000 won is a bit low," "It’s impressive she came even though she wasn’t given an invitation," "If it were me, I’d ask indirectly in front of coworkers if she put the envelope in the wrong place," "At 25, she’s not so immature to act like that. It seems intentional," and "Looks like she had a cheap buffet date with her boyfriend."

On the other hand, some netizens responded, "She might have really wanted to congratulate you," "It was wrong to send invitations in a way that excluded her from the start," "Don’t blame someone who came to celebrate on a happy day," "Don’t fuss over the meal cost," and "She’s young, so why worry so much?"
