[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Eun-young] A petition accusing elementary school teachers of having extramarital affairs has been posted on the Blue House National Petition Board, sparking controversy.

On the 24th, a petition titled "I accuse two teachers who repeatedly engaged in extramarital affairs on campus, infringing even on children's learning activities" was posted on the Blue House National Petition Board.

The petitioner stated, "Married teacher A and unmarried teacher B, who work at an elementary school in Jangsu-gun, Jeonbuk, repeatedly engaged in affectionate behavior during class time and field trips, raising doubts about their qualifications as educators," adding, "There is related video footage."

He continued, "When teacher A was lying on a sofa in the classroom hallway taking a nap, teacher B filmed a video and said, 'The teacher tired from teaching takes a nap during break time. There is a smell of alcohol in the teacher's breathing.' Teacher A laughed and jokingly said, 'Children are the prettiest when they go home.' Despite the children being clearly in the classroom, the two teachers exchanged such words and actions, and the 5th and 6th-grade students in puberty under their charge must have sensed that their relationship was inappropriate," he claimed.

The petitioner also mentioned inappropriate videos featuring the two teachers. He said, "They shared and possessed those videos, and the two teachers met for their sexual desires and pleasures," adding, "There are about 50 photos taken between August and October this year inside the elementary school classroom where they work, showing them physically close. Photos include kissing and one teacher cleaning the other's ear."

He further stated, "During external cultural experience time, the two left the children with instructors and spent time alone, and they exchanged slang or expressions commonly used by lovers through the official education office messenger," raising his voice, "They took dozens of private photos inside the classroom where they live with children and used the sacred classroom as their dating place."

The petitioner targeted the education authorities, saying, "Despite filing complaints about this fact, the education office and education support office failed to recognize the seriousness of the situation and handled it irresponsibly," criticizing, "The school principal confirmed the inappropriate relationship between the two but showed an irresponsible attitude by not reporting it to the higher education support office and not resolving the incident."

He added, "The Jangsu Education Support Office also acknowledged that the two had an inappropriate relationship," and reiterated, "The two teachers do not have a proper value system regarding sexuality and do not hesitate to behave inappropriately even during educational activities. They have no qualifications as educators and should be permanently expelled from the education sector."

The petition currently has over 6,800 supporters.

The Jeonbuk Jangsu Education Support Office stated, "The parties admitted to having an inappropriate relationship but denied extramarital affairs on campus," adding, "Since this is judged to be a matter requiring final disciplinary action, we have requested an audit from the provincial education office."
