What exactly did you say about the debt? The details matter because some topics are just not for public sharing.

Seoul has some pretty strict social rules about money talk (learned that the hard way).

Present it like a cultural test instead of a secret, @stellap49 - they see debt talk as airing dirty laundry and it makes people uncomfortable (even if you meant well).
