[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kang Juhee] Teacher A, who assigned first-grade elementary school students homework to wash their underwear and engaged in inappropriate behavior including sexual expressions, announced her intention to resign from the teaching profession while labeling the criticism against her as a "witch hunt."

On the 29th, A posted on her Instagram, "No more people should get hurt by anonymous netizens. This pain must end with me," expressing her grievance.

Referring to a Blue House petition calling for her dismissal, A said, "The children must think of me as a 'sexy panties pervert teacher,' so how can any education take place in that situation? Would the issue be resolved if I were disciplined and transferred to another school?" She added, "Whether I receive suspension or pay cuts, I do not want to continue living like this. I will leave on my own accord," indicating her intention to quit teaching.

She continued, "I receive dozens of calls daily from unknown numbers. Hundreds send abusive messages through my personal mobile messenger," and lamented, "Do they want to drag me out of my teaching position and have my family live like criminals? I thought witch hunts were someone else's problem. Now I understand why celebrities make extreme choices."

She also stated, "Even if I leave, I want to launch a signature campaign for real-name verification on the internet, such as Nate Pann and Mom Cafes," adding, "Your family members could become victims like me, and I hope I am the last victim teacher. This incident happened because I lacked gender sensitivity, but education should no longer be swayed by Mom Cafes or anonymous netizens."

Finally, A said, "If this post reduces even a few people from hurting others anonymously, the world will become a little warmer."

Meanwhile, the Blue House petition calling for the dismissal of the teacher has garnered over 110,000 signatures in just one day.
