[Anchor] The drama "True Education," which deals with the infringement of teachers' rights, has been a hot topic lately. Is it true that people are comparing a recent incident at an elementary school in Jeju to this drama?
[Reporter] Yes, there is growing concern that these were premeditated acts targeting a teacher, and calls are mounting for a complete overhaul of school safety systems.
In late April, a high school student trespassed into an elementary school classroom in Seogwipo and fled after leaving bodily fluids in the female homeroom teacher's personal tumbler.
A month later, the same student broke into the same classroom again, this time urinating on the teacher's chair before fleeing.
Fortunately, the student's movements were captured by CCTV cameras installed by the Office of Education and the school following the first incident, allowing the police to identify and apprehend the suspect, identified as Student A.
During police questioning, Student A admitted to the charges but reportedly claimed that he "did it while trying to find a restroom."
It is reported that the victimized teacher is currently suffering from severe anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
The Jeju Teachers' Union stated, "This is a serious incident that infringes not only on the safety of the teacher but also on the students' right to learn," and urged for a comprehensive strengthening of school safety nets, including access control systems, more CCTV cameras, and increased security personnel.
Netizens have also pointed out that "this is not a matter to be treated leniently just because the perpetrator is a student" and that "it feels like the drama 'True Education' has become reality," calling for fundamental measures to prevent such incidents from recurring.
