Plot hole

Sooo I liked the movie, but how did Rice Cake Girl know the junk collector for him to be on her phone's list of men she slept with without any indication or irrefutable proof of the two of them having a coital affair or even know each other? He just was there for no reason but to create tension (plot filler) then? That's not a good thing to do, Mr. Screenplay writer.

The junkman represents that even someone who may seem good on the outside has a darkside. The theme is repeated with the mother.

I think everything in your post is spot on except the above quote. While it may be true everyone has a dark side, the son's dark side was never shown. I sensed no malice in his throwing the rock back or even in his reaction at being called "retard". His reactions stem from what his mother taught and told him to do - you threw a rock at me, I'll throw it back at you". He had no intention of harming the girl in any way.

That "Plot hole" is anwsered in the Frequently Asked Questions section of the movie's page *Ah-jung's two boyfriends explain that she took photos with her "pervert" phone of everyone with whom she had sex, so it's reasonable to conclude that the junkman was one of her customers. This is best evidenced in the scene where the junkman explains how he came to be in the abandoned house. He is seen spreading a mat on the floor and measuring out the rice with which he intends to pay Ah-jung (aka "Rice Cake Girl").*

Pretty obvious rice cake girl was an easy lay and he stayed in that abandoned house frequently and her only living a few houses down made it easy.
