Which Exit Do We Take?

We found this sign in the MRT intriguing. Apparently, you have a very different kind of experience depending on which exit you take.

If you take Exit #3, you get to go to the temple and hang out in the park nearby. At some point, the future will be revealed to you. Don't be surprised. It's the same future everyone has: we all wind up dead at some point.

If you take Exit #4, luxury and riches await! You'll be pampered, attended to, and lead down a primrose path! Ah, but now we have a problem. You see, all of this came at a price, but you didn't know about that now, did you? Hmm...for a small fee, this whole misunderstanding can go away. The officials are willing to be "flexible." Just meet a "Mr. Songjin" down by the first park. He'll make sure the "goods" get to where they're supposed to go.

Strangely, even after all that, we all seem to end up back at Exit #3, and--sure enough--our fortunes are all the same.

Come to think of it...where did Exits 1 and 2 go?
