Moreover, it was reported that Mr. A had a difficult school life, repeatedly absent during his 2nd and 3rd years in 2018 and 2019, following the school violence incident in 2017.


Mr. A was continuously subjected to verbal abuse by Jeong’s son, which included references to his hometown and physical characteristics. The ruling documents revealed that due to the severe mental damage caused by the school violence, he underwent hospitalization and even made extreme attempts. On the other hand, Jeong’s son, who was the perpetrator of the 2017 school violence incident and was transferred to another school in March 2018, after an appeal process, transferred from the autonomous private high school to another high school in February 2019 and entered Seoul National University immediately after graduating in 2020.



Another victim, Mr. B, who suffered similar verbal abuse from Jeong’s son, left the autonomous private high school in 2018 when the school violence controversy arose. It is reported that Mr. B, who was struggling, withdrew from school for his career path and went abroad.
