Excuse me, I'm a bit confused. I'm planning to leave Korea soon, and I was wondering if it's okay to do so without my Alien Registration Card, or 'ARC' as it's commonly called. I've heard different things from different people, some saying it's not a problem, while others claiming it's absolutely necessary. Could you please clarify this matter for me? Is it permissible to depart Korea without my ARC, or am I required to have it in my possession at all times? Thank you for your time and assistance.

I'm somewhat perplexed about the situation in Korea regarding debt. It seems to be a widespread and pressing issue, but I'm not entirely sure why. Could you possibly elaborate on the reasons why debt is considered so negative in Korea? Is it due to the high interest rates, the stringent repayment terms, or perhaps the cultural stigma attached to being in debt? I'm genuinely interested in understanding the nuances of this matter and how it affects the financial well-being of the average Korean citizen. Could you please shed some light on this for me?
