[Asia Economy Reporter Han Seung-gon] A case has been reported in Iksan, Jeonbuk, where middle school girls indiscriminately assaulted a peer female student, prompting the police to launch an investigation. The suspects, presumed to be the perpetrators, collectively assaulted the victim and forcibly made her drink soju, among other acts of indiscriminate bullying. Notably, they also recorded the incident, raising concerns about further secondary harm.


On the 24th, an anonymous Facebook page posted a message titled "Repeated school violence in Iksan, response is still inadequate."


The author stated, "One middle school girl assaulted a classmate for over an hour simply because the victim mentioned her name to a junior," adding, "They knocked down the crying victim begging for forgiveness and climbed on top of her, using their hands and feet to assault her indiscriminately."


They continued, "Not only did they assault her, but they also forcibly made the victim drink soju," and "They coerced another accompanying student to hit the victim and even recorded the assault."


Furthermore, "The footage included sexually derogatory remarks directed at the victim as well as threats and intimidation," and "The victim is suffering from aftereffects such as bruises from the assault, vomiting, social withdrawal, and emotional instability," the post elaborated.


The incident reportedly occurred around 2:40 p.m. on the 21st at a commercial area in an apartment complex in OO-dong, Iksan City.



Following this, the case spread through SNS platforms such as Facebook and Twitter, as well as online communities, leading to a police report being filed. The police are currently investigating the incident.
