"The Bill Was 63,000 Won for Two, but My Friend Sent Only 30,000 Won Because They Didn’t Have a Drink... Is That Obnoxious?" [What Do You Think?]

[Financial News] An online debate is continuing over whether friends who dine together should split the bill according to what each person ate or divide it equally among everyone.
According to Yonhap News TV on the 16th, a post asking how to split the cost after dining with a friend was uploaded to social media the previous day.
The poster, identified only as A, began by saying, "I had a meal with a friend, and the total came to 63,000 won. I paid the bill with my card for the time being."
A added, "On the way home, my friend said, 'I didn't have a drink earlier, so I'll send you 30,000 won,'" noting that "the drink cost 3,000 won."
A asked online users for their opinions, saying, "How precisely do you usually split the bill? Should we calculate only according to what each person ate, or should we just split an amount like this 50-50?"
A added, "I was actually going to deduct the drink cost, but the way my friend said it made them seem obnoxious. I don't know whether I'm being narrow-minded or overly sensitive, but it bothered me."
Online users were divided after reading the story.
Some users commented, "The drink was separate, so the total was 60,000 won, and the friend should have asked to send 30,000 won," and, "The wording could be a little disappointing, but technically, what the friend said was correct."
Others argued, "You agreed to meet and eat together, so you should split the bill equally," and, "If you're going to be that exact, why eat together in the first place?"
