*Oh, not to mention the cigarettes. Doona's lack of cleanliness is meant to be a "funny" point (does this woman not own any trousers, looking back at the early chapters lol), but omg the actual cost of all those cigarettes and beer cans soon adds up, maybe they are seen as cheap in South Korea though? I just thought it was so clear the wealth inequality looking at the student's lifestyle in comparison to when we see behind the scenes of Minho's. Yes he splurges on his own clothes when he has the money, everything is about "image" in his environment and he likely feels he has to overcompensate as he doesn't have the same connections as everyone else, but Doona mentions that he's been living in the same modest apartment since way back when, an apartment which is smaller than any of the current students who likely have wealthy families or are maybe in debt. I guess Minho's character is more appealing in terms of the fact he is a more realistic character, he still says utterly vile things but regardless, it's terribly cliche to have Korean webtoons about sons and daughters of wealthy families or character's who seemingly live a nice life without showing any source of the income needed. The author though seems to be mocking Minho and punishing him for not being born rich and for confronting the corruption/nepotism within the university.
