Couldn't she at least ask for meat, fruits or vegetables?


Rice is the cheapest thing! Why didn't she ask for money instead?

Did she have such low esteem that she didn't dare to ask for more or was she addicted to sex that she'd almost do it for free?

what scene were you referencing to?

character names would help.

The girl who got killed prostituted herself for rice, sometimes, instead of money.

ahhh.

Rice directly translated to Korean as "bap."
However, it also can be used as a
noun. - a meal or food
I think your subtitles just translated "bap" as rice when it should be "food" or "a meal"

Girl is still just a kid. She doesn't know the business of the streets. She might a been desperate for food at the time.

I think the rice was alcohol, remember the boys said she always had a bottle in her hand, she was getting it for her alcoholic grandmother.
