A middle-aged woman was caught shoplifting in the act. The convenience store manager took her to the back room and gave her a choice: he could contact her husband's company demanding compensation, or she could work at the store to pay off her debt. Yielding to the manager's blackmail, the woman performed dogeza, begging for forgiveness. The forced labor imposed under the guise of repayment turned out to be extremely cruel, escalating further into degrading sexual acts as a hopeless punishment.
