Sadly, all she got was a drivers license. It's not like she hit success with her startup after 960 tries and became a happy member of the fym club.

- noonespecial 16y agoShe was a poor rural villager. She got the right to drive and a free $16,000 car. Its like getting magic powers and a king's ransom. I'd wager her life changed more for the better as a result of these events than most of ours would if we did get that big fym exit. In her world, she joined indeed.
- fuzzythinker 16y agoWell, after deducting 960 * $5 fee ~= $5k, plus 960 * unknown bus fee (let's assume it's rounds to $1k), it's more like a $10k car. Also, this car is given to her, so her value for the car may not be $16k (imagine she's given $16k towards the purchase of any car, she'll probably ended up with a different car). Finally, not sure of tax laws in Korean, so she may have to pay taxes on it before the $6k fee deductions. She still comes out ahead, but probably close to half of $16k value. But her fame from the story is priceless.
