The Dutch treat culture, which pays for the cost of having meetings with a large number of people, is located in the daily life of many modern people. In particular, the execution of Kim Young-ran is a more active Dutch treat. However, when going dutch, there is a case where the amount of money to be paid per person is not divided equitably and there is an ambiguous situation about who should pay more. Also if one person have to pay all of the payments because of the different payment method such as a cash or card, there is inconvenience to keep a record of the financial relationship each time. In this paper, we introduce an application that allows several people to easily calculate the amount of money to pay per person when eating together or calculating something. From our service, you can easily access with web-based service, manage the user's debts more conveniently through forming the group. In addition, we focused on convenient calculation of cost by setting remaining unit and reserve function which is a function to overcome the disadvantages of existing application. Also, we maintain fairness through games in situations where the users need to make a choice.

The practice of paying for meals in a society is a social behavior that reflects the culture of that society. Accordingly, this study examined Koreans' way to pay for meal and perception of that meal payment methods in various contexts. In Study 1 and 2, Korean college students were asked open-ended questions about the payment methods that Koreans prefer in various situations, and asked to describe reasons for liking or disliking 9 payment methods derived by study 1. As a result, positive characteristics stood out as fairness such as rationality and fairness, as well as intimacy such as friendliness, affection. In Study 3 and 4, we investigated the perception of 6 payment methods (equal payment, membership dues payment, rotational payment, hierarchical payment, ability payment, and volunteering payment method) and examined whether there were generational differences in preferences for six payment methods depending on the situation. As a result, each payment method could be classified into a payment method closer to the logic of reason (sari), which emphasizes fairness, and the logic of heart (simjung), which emphasizes emotional intimacy. Payment method closer to fairness (equal method) was consistently preferred by young people. These results were discussed focusing on the cultural characteristics of Korean society.
