Statement on the 20th: "Absurd Falsehood"

On the 20th, Han Gi-ho, a member of the People Power Party, clearly stated that it is not true that his name has been mentioned in connection with the case of a teacher found dead at an elementary school in Seocho-gu, Seoul, and that no member of his family is enrolled at the school.

In a statement released on the 20th, Representative Han said, "I am deeply heartbroken by the tragic news of the teacher at an elementary school in Seocho-gu, Seoul."

He also warned of legal action against the spread of false information. Representative Han emphasized, "I cannot contain my devastation over the reckless spread of utterly groundless false information. From this time forward, I will hold those who maliciously spread false information and defame me through perception attacks for things that never happened legally accountable to the fullest extent."

He added, "For the sake of teachers working hard in the field of education, I demand a thorough and unreserved investigation and inquiry by the education and police authorities."

Earlier, Representative Han explained in the People Power Party's group messenger chat, "I have been plagued by rumors since last night. None of my grandchildren are enrolled at the elementary school where the accident occurred. I have one granddaughter who is in the second year of middle school, a grandson who is in the second grade of another elementary school, and my biological grandsons are only two years old."

According to the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education and others, a homeroom teacher, Mr. A, at an elementary school in Seocho-gu, Seoul, was found dead inside the school on the morning of the 18th. It is known that Mr. A took his own life.

On internet communities, rumors spread that the new teacher Mr. A was in charge of school violence cases and was troubled by complaints from parents. Furthermore, a rumor circulated that the father of a parent who filed severe complaints is a "three-term People Power Party lawmaker residing in Seocho-gu."
