A video showing a minor kicking a police officer and shouting insults has sparked public outrage.

On the 26th, a video titled "Current Status of a 14-Year-Old in the Republic of Korea" has been spreading on Instagram, Facebook, and online communities.

In the approximately 30-second video, a boy wearing handcuffs inside a police substation demands, "What are you going to do? Please loosen this, it's tied too tightly," while shouting insults at the police officer.

The boy kicked the officer twice in the abdomen after being scolded with "Do you only use honorifics when it’s disadvantageous?" but, still angry, continued to curse.

The Dongnam Police Station in Cheonan, Chungnam confirmed that the video was recently filmed at a police substation in Cheonan and is investigating the detailed circumstances of the incident and the process of the video’s distribution. A police official stated, "The boy is a juvenile offender, and it is difficult to disclose the charges for which he was taken to the substation as it is under investigation," adding, "We are investigating how the video was distributed."
