According to the Gwangju Metropolitan Office of Education on the 28th, on the 22nd, during an online class for first-year students at a high school in Gwangju, an unidentified man accessed the session and exposed a specific part of his body.

At the time, the teacher and students were conducting a two-way online class through real-time video connection.
