[Asia Economy Reporter Yoon Seul-gi] A controversy arose after it was revealed that a female high school student in Seoul sent a mocking consolation letter to military personnel, prompting a petition to ban the forced writing of consolation letters.

On the 12th, a petition titled "Please ban the forced consolation letters at girls' high schools" was posted on the Blue House National Petition Board.

The petitioner stated, "I especially hope that consolation letters, which only occur at girls' high schools, will be prohibited," adding, "In fact, the guidelines distributed to the students of ○○ Girls' High School, where the consolation letters were forced this time, clearly state that 'exposing personal information can cause serious harm.'"

The petitioner continued, "It is a serious problem that students have to write consolation letters against their will in a situation where they might suffer harm," pointing out. They added, "I believe you understand how inappropriate it is for female students, who are merely minors, to be forced to write letters comforting adult men."

Earlier that day, a consolation letter sent by a second-year student at a girls' high school in Seoul to a soldier was posted on an online community with the caption, "A friend asked me to upload this."

The letter included phrases such as, "Thank you for your hard work for the country in the cold weather," "Is military life hard? Still, live diligently^^ There will be many hardships in life ahead, but isn't a man someone who overcomes these?"

A letter written by a first-year student at the same school was also revealed. This student wrote expressions that could be considered sexual harassment, such as, "I wondered what to write to boost morale, but no matter how much I think about it, there’s nothing to be scared of. Since it’s a beautiful season, please don’t pick up soap in the military and have a comfortable day."

Some netizens, upon seeing this, have been conducting 'star rating attacks' on the Google and Kakao Map reviews of the high school these students attend. Additionally, they have found and insulted the students on their social networking services (SNS). The personal information of the student who wrote the letter has already spread online, and she is suffering from sexual harassment and other damages.
