"Neither acquaintances nor AI took responsibility for my money."
I said that becoming an acquaintance is what matters. A personal opinion is just a personal opinion.

From acquaintances and internet blogs to even supposedly smart AI—no matter how confidently they speak, in the face of the law, they are nothing more than hearsay for reference. This is especially true for matters directly affecting your finances, such as taxes and regulations; relying solely on others' advice and then later regretting it is of no use. For complex procedures, it is essential to obtain a direct confirmation stamp from an official at the relevant department of the competent authority (district office, tax office, etc.) to ensure safety.

Even when asking AI, verifying the source is essential.
It is dangerous to have a habit of simply accepting the conclusions when searching the internet or using AI. Order it to "provide the links to the legal manuals or official agency guidance that led to that judgment." Following the links provided by the AI and personally cross-verifying the original texts from the National Tax Service or the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport with your own eyes is the practical know-how to avoid being deceived by information.

Survival of the fittest: Fingers taking notes are more accurate than memory.
Legal standards and administrative procedures change more frequently than you might think. If you manage to connect with the person in charge at the relevant department, do not let the conversation end there. You must meticulously record when you called, who you spoke to from which department, and exactly what the response was. Only a solid record you keep yourself serves as a true safeguard against potential misjudgments and losses.

One-line summary
In a real estate transaction involving hundreds of millions of won of my own money, the words of others carry no legal force. Ultimately, the only preventive measure to protect myself is verifying the original source and conducting direct verification with the competent authorities.
