Kye, This Is My Turn

 
There is a special system called 'Kye' which makes a large sum of money.

This has been a kind of custom from ancient times.

Originally the Kye was for the friendship of a community,

but it has changed according to member's needs.

Close friends, school alumni and neighbors get together every month.

They collect money from all members and give the collection to a different member each month.

The group leader manages this job.

For example, if there are twenty members in the Kye and each member pays 100,000 won every month,
¿¹¸¦ µé¸é 20¸íÀÌ °è¸¦ Á¶Á÷ÇÏ°í ±×µéÀÌ ÇÑ ´Þ¿¡ 100,000¿ø¾¿À» ³½´Ù¸é
 
2,000,000 won is collected each month.

This sum is given to one person.

If a person needs money in a hurry, he or she can take his or her turn early,
µ·ÀÌ ±ÞÇÑ »ç¶÷Àº ºü¸¥ ¼ø¹øÀ» ÅÃÇØ µ·À» ÀÌ¿ëÇÒ ¼ö ÀÖÁö¸¸
 
but this person must pay interest to the other members.

Sometimes the Kye is broken up because the leader takes all the money and runs away,

but in most cases, a reliable person becomes the leader of the Kye.

This customary system still remains among middle-aged people for collecting money.

Among young people the Kye is not popular for money, but for friendship and special activities.

Recently there are Kyes for overseas travelers and people who want to eat something special.
