"Angry at Reality of School Violence Just Because I'm from Jeju"

"I am outraged by the reality that students become targets of school violence simply because they are from Jeju."

Oh Young-hoon, Governor of Jeju Province, posted this statement on social media (SNS) on the 27th. Governor Oh criticized the case involving the son of Attorney Jeong Soon-shin, who was appointed and then stepped down as the head of the National Investigation Headquarters, while sharing updates on provincial administration issues during a tea time session that day.

It is known that Attorney Jeong's son insulted a high school classmate from Jeju by using expressions such as "red commie" and "pig bastard," continuing acts of school violence. As the target of derogatory language solely because of being from a specific region, Jeju Province, the Governor of Jeju took official action in response.

Governor Oh pledged, "I will carry out proactive administration to ensure the safety of every single resident."

He urged, "Public officials must monitor whether relevant systems are properly operated when residents' basic rights guaranteed by law are violated and actively protect the rights of the residents."

In particular, Governor Oh emphasized, "Wherever residents suffer harm, domestically or abroad, the Jeju provincial government must step in to protect them and implement follow-up measures."

Governor Oh instructed Jeju provincial officials to identify the current status of students studying outside the province to prevent recurrence of school violence since 2017, and to coordinate with metropolitan and provincial offices of education to establish measures to prevent such incidents from happening again.
