Would a modification of child support be possible?

When I divorced, I agreed with my former husband to receive 700,000 won in child support each month. Recently, as my child entered elementary school, expenses for academies, school meals, and textbooks have increased significantly, and prices have also risen greatly, so life has become very tight. In such a case, is there a way to modify the child support? I do not think the other party will voluntarily pay more. I would like to know whether a modification of child support is legally possible and, if so, how I should proceed.
