They further warned, "We have no choice but to take legal action against the malicious spread of false information," and urged, "Please delete the false information immediately."


Amid the death of teacher A at Seo-i Elementary School, speculative posts about the background of A’s death have continued on online communities. It was alleged that teacher A was in charge of school violence affairs and, after suffering from continuous malicious complaints from parents, made an extreme choice. In particular, claims have been made that the parents or family members who filed complaints are influential politicians.



However, Seo-i Elementary School issued an official statement on the 20th, saying, "The teacher in question was not in charge of school violence affairs," and "There were no reports of school violence in the relevant class this year, and the teacher did not visit the education support office regarding school violence."
