[Asia Economy Reporter Yoon Seul-gi] A male middle school teacher in his 40s was booked by the police on suspicion of repeatedly exposing his private parts while conducting online non-face-to-face classes wearing only a shirt.

The Seongnam Sujeong Police Station in Gyeonggi Province announced on the 8th that they had booked middle school Korean language teacher Mr. A on charges including violation of the Special Act on the Punishment of Sexual Crimes.

Earlier, Mr. A is suspected of inappropriate behavior twice, including exposing his private parts without wearing anything during an online class for 3rd-year middle school students in July last year.

This fact was revealed externally after students attending the class recorded the problematic scenes. After parents' complaints followed, the school reported the matter to the police. Both male and female students participated in this class.

During the police investigation, Mr. A explained, "Since only the upper body is filmed, I wear comfortable clothes on the lower body while working. However, during the process of adjusting the camera, the lower body was accidentally filmed due to a mistake."

The Seongnam Office of Education dismissed Mr. A from his position after the police investigation began and is reportedly planning to take additional disciplinary actions depending on the investigation results.

The police plan to summon Mr. A soon for questioning as a suspect.
