[Financial News] A story has been drawing quiet sympathy after someone who meant to send 200,000 won as a wedding gift accidentally transferred 2 million won instead and was moved by a friend's warm response.
A post recently appeared on an online community describing an unexpected incident after the writer sent a wedding gift ahead of a friend's marriage.
The writer, identified as A, said, "I meant to transfer 200,000 won for a friend's wedding, but I accidentally added one extra zero." He said he did not notice the mistake until two days later, then spent another two days wondering whether to call the friend.
In the meantime, the friend reached out first. Assuming A had sent the money by mistake, he sent back 1.8 million won along with a text message.
The friend said he actually felt sorry because he had sent only 50,000 won when A's mother-in-law passed away in the past, and thanked A for giving 200,000 won as a wedding gift. He then joked, "There is no four-day bank interest on 1.8 million won."
After receiving the reply, A said, "I was just grateful. It was my money, but what touched me was his kindness," expressing how moved he felt.
Netizens who saw the story responded with comments such as, "They are wonderful adults," "It seems both of them are good people to each other," and "This is how life should be lived... it feels so warm," while cheering on their friendship.
