[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Eun-young] A post claiming to sell a disabled person was uploaded on the secondhand goods trading platform 'Danggeun Market.' The poster is known to be an immature middle school student.

At around 4:50 PM on the 30th, a post titled "Disabled person for sale" was uploaded on Danggeun Market. The post was made with an address in Impi-myeon, Gunsan-si, Jeonbuk Province, and included the word "free" along with a photo of a teenager.

In the post and the attached photo, it is known that the poster responded with "This is my friend's face lol."

User A, who discovered this, messaged the seller saying, "You must have nothing better to do. This is really pathetic," but instead received crude insults in return.

User A said that when they scolded, "You need to serve time in prison to come to your senses," the poster retorted, "I’m a juvenile offender, so I can’t serve time in prison."

User A has currently reported the poster’s behavior to Danggeun Market, citing it as problematic. A said, "I was shocked when I saw the post, but after talking more, I was even more appalled. It seems like a young kid posted it as a joke, but they should be reprimanded. I hope Danggeun Market strengthens monitoring to filter out such posts."

In response, a Danggeun Market representative said, "We apologize for the offensive post. The post was immediately deleted. We ask for your understanding. We will strengthen monitoring to prevent such posts from being uploaded."

Previously, on the 16th, a 20-something pregnant woman posted a controversial message titled "Giving up my baby for adoption. I am 36 weeks pregnant" on Danggeun Market.

Also, on the 27th, a post titled "Selling a child" was uploaded with a desired selling price of 3 million won, causing public outrage. Police investigation revealed that the author was a teenage high school student who posted the message as a prank, attaching a photo of their middle school sibling’s face.
