School violence victim Pyo Yerim was reported to have attempted an extreme act after suffering mental distress from secondary victimization. She is currently receiving treatment at a hospital and is in stable condition.


According to the YouTube channel 'Caracula Detective Agency' (hereafter Caracula) on the 23rd, Pyo was rescued by the 119 emergency medical team and police after attempting an extreme act at the hair salon she operates the previous afternoon. She is currently being treated at a hospital in Busan.

Caracula stated, "The incident occurred at the hair salon she operates, and fortunately, a quick report from a follower who saw the post on social media saved her life. The hospital said that if it had been any later, excessive bleeding would have made the situation very dangerous." They added, "There has been secondary victimization through maliciously fabricated materials used on a channel called 'Pyo Yerim Gahaejadong Changsaeng,' presumed to be created by the perpetrators, which falsely accused Pyo of being a liar and mentally unstable, and mocked her parents."


They continued, "Instead of apologizing to Pyo Yerim, the perpetrators hired a lawyer and sent a certified letter threatening legal action. This caused excessive stress and mental burden on her, leading her to post a message implying an extreme act on her social media, which resulted in this unfortunate situation."


Earlier, the YouTube channel 'Pyo Yerim Dongchangsaeng' released a video titled 'Revealing the Identities of School Violence Perpetrators,' disclosing the real names and graduation photos of those identified as perpetrators of school violence.


In response, some of the perpetrators reportedly sent a certified letter to Pyo demanding the deletion of their real names and related videos, as well as the posting of an apology and notification of an apology by mail.



Pyo stated that the channel is unrelated to her, saying, "I did not upload that (identity disclosure) video. Deleting it is not something I can do." She also expressed, "I do not understand why I should post an apology or send an apology letter by mail to them."
