A friend of ours decided to just register her marriage without holding a wedding ceremony, so the rest of us (12 people in total) got together to celebrate over a meal. We prepared a bouquet and a cake, and the friend who got married paid for the meal.
Quite some time has passed since then, and she suddenly left our group chat without saying a word. We were all wondering what might have happened, so one of us reached out to ask, and it turns out she felt hurt because, even though she didn’t have a wedding, she had paid for that dinner, yet no one said anything afterward. I mean, what on earth is this logic? What do you guys think she was actually expecting? We’ve been throwing around a few theories, but nothing really makes sense.

1. ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Did you meet all these friends in online communities? If not, your circle of friends is in a pretty dire state
2. This must not be the only reason she left you guys...
3. I’m not exactly socially adept myself, but if I were in a group of 12 people who usually split the bill, and someone suddenly said, "Lunch is on me today," I’d have the sense to ask around whether a congratulatory money gift is expected in this situation, and then send an appropriate amount.
Most people in your group probably just thought, "Can we really get away with this? No one else is bringing it up, so maybe I don't need to spend any money? I guess it’s fine to just let it slide!"
Unless you're very young, it’s unlikely you're being brazen out of a malicious desire to be rude or risk losing their friends. Especially these days, it’s becoming increasingly common for people to accept congratulatory gifts without actually holding a wedding ceremony...
4. With 12 people, even if everyone chips in 50,000 won, that’s 600,000 won, how can you guys not do anything at all?
5. I mean, they say "birds of a feather flock together," but it’s shocking that out of 12 people, not a single one suggested giving a wedding gift
6. Out of 12 people, not a single one brought up the idea of giving a wedding money gift...?????? That can’t be right
7. You bunch of f*ckers
8. Wait, what? How could someone even do that? The whole point of a wedding gift (cash) is to celebrate the marriage, right? ...Honestly, "being young" isn't even an excuse that works here.
9. Not a single one among your 12 friends had the right mind of offering? The friend getting married must've gotten the biggest reality slap on that day
10. If I were your friend, I would've had the biggest reality slap
