Gyeongnam High School Dormitory 'School Violence'... Locked in Closet and Tortured with Hair Dryer Heat

It has been revealed that senior students bullied a freshman at a high school dormitory in Changwon, Gyeongnam, prompting the police to launch an investigation.

According to the Gyeongnam Police Agency on the 6th, four second-year male students collectively assaulted a first-year student, A, from March to May.

The perpetrators reportedly called A out late at night and repeatedly subjected him to harsh treatment such as beating him with blunt objects and forcing him to do strenuous physical exercises.

They spat saliva and phlegm on A's body, poured urine and cold water on him, used sexually explicit insults, and reportedly committed obscene acts on A's pillow.

Some even filmed A while he was using the restroom.

It was also found that A was threatened with a weapon, locked in a closet, and had hot air blown on him with a hairdryer.

Unable to endure the abuse any longer, A left the school on May 22 and informed his parents about the assault.

The police began an investigation upon receiving a report from A's parents on the same day, and to protect A, held a safety measure review committee and provided him with a smartwatch.

The provincial education office held two school violence review committees on the 12th and 20th of last month, imposing disciplinary actions on the four perpetrators including suspension from attendance for 6 to 10 days depending on the severity of the abuse, class reassignment, completion of special education, and prohibition of retaliatory acts.

A full survey was conducted on all students at the school, confirming that there were no additional victims.

The police stated, "Some of the perpetrators deny parts of the victim's claims, and we plan to investigate this."
