"I'll Get Straight to the Point"... The Unexpected Letter from a 10-Year-Old Son That Brought Tears to His Parents' Eyes

\r\n
[The Financial News] A bold and adorable letter from a 10-year-old son to his parents on Parents' Day has become a major topic online. What began as a touching moment turned into a request for a raise in allowance, bringing laughter to many netizens.
On the 15th, a post titled "A 10-Year-Old Son's Parents' Day Letter" appeared on an online community, along with a photo. The writer, identified as A, shared the letter from his son and said, "I feel like I'm about to cry."
But the contents of the letter were far from sentimental. In it, the son wrote, "To get straight to the point, please raise my allowance," and added, "You only give me 100 won even though I wake you up before 7:30 a.m. every day."
At the beginning of the letter, traces of erasing and rewriting were still visible, apparently because the child had tried to write the difficult four-character idiom for "getting straight to the point" but got confused by the stroke order. That detail drew even more laughter from readers.
A and his wife said they accepted their son's bold request and raised his chore allowance from 100 won to 200 won.
Netizens who saw the story responded enthusiastically to the child's quirky charm and the perfect twist, with comments such as, "I came here to recharge my faith in humanity, but ended up laughing so hard I held my stomach," "I almost burst into tears just from seeing the cover of the letter, but this was the perfect twist," "Raising it to 200 won means a 100% increase," and "Still, let's raise it to at least 500 won."
