Wando Mo Middle School Administrative Director Opens Female Teacher's Residence, Causing 'Controversy'

Unauthorized Entry Allegations of Secondary Damage VS Facility Construction Group Notice Before Visit

The administrative officer of a certain middle school in Wando caused controversy by opening the female teacher's dormitory with a spare key to carry out facility construction.

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jun-kyung] The administrative director at a middle school in Wando, Jeollanam-do, has sparked controversy after entering a female teacher's residence using a spare key.

According to the Wando Office of Education on the 27th, Mr. A, the administrative director of a certain middle school in Wando, visited the school residence with KT employees at around 1:20 p.m. on the 18th to install internet service, having obtained the school's consent and carrying a spare key.

At that time, in the first room on the first floor where Mr. A opened the door, female teacher Ms. B was alone organizing her belongings. Mr. A, who did not expect the teacher to be in the residence, immediately apologized, but Ms. B, unaware of the construction, was greatly startled.

Later, on the 20th, Ms. B went on an external business trip and confirmed that Mr. A posted a notice in the group chat that repair work was scheduled for the residence the following Saturday. Ms. B was outraged that an outsider would enter the room again, where she had hung laundry such as underwear, and strongly protested to the school.

The school called both Mr. A and Ms. B to verify the details and attempted to mediate, but Ms. B expressed her grievance and strongly demanded a sincere apology along with Mr. A’s transfer.

Mr. A stated, “I took on the task myself for the convenience of the staff, even though it could have been entrusted to an employee, but this incident occurred. It is honestly unfair and unjust to be treated like a criminal just because Ms. B demanded personnel action.”

He added, “It was a mistake to open the door without knocking, assuming the teacher was not in the residence during working hours, but I have apologized multiple times already. During the first visit, Ms. B and the internet staff asked each other about the installation without any discomfort, and the matter was concluded.”

On the other hand, Ms. B argued, “The staff residence is a building within the school, so there is no need to file an external business trip. I went to the residence during lunch break to organize my belongings, so it was not leaving the workplace. I am suffering secondary damage due to the unfair actions of the school and the administrative director.”

A Wando Office of Education official stated, “After receiving the report of this incident, we dispatched staff twice to conduct a fact-finding investigation. Since their positions differ, we are currently clarifying the detailed circumstances. We hope the matter will be resolved amicably so that students do not suffer any harm.”
