Amid claims that the parent of the student responsible for the so-called 'pencil incident,' which has been pointed to as the background of the death of a teacher at Seo-i Elementary School in Seocho-gu, Seoul, is a current police or prosecution investigator, Lee Won-wook, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, said, "It is suspicious whether the police and prosecution concealed the cause of the deceased's death out of favoritism toward their own organizations to cover up the case."

On the 23rd, Lee said on his Facebook, "It must be revealed whether this is a 'power-type concealment cartel,' another form of the interest cartel emphasized by President Yoon Seok-yeol."

He said, "According to media reports, the bereaved family related to the Seo-i Elementary School teacher's death case revealed that the parent of the student responsible for the so-called pencil incident is a current police and prosecution investigator," adding, "The perpetrator student's mother reportedly contacted the deceased via mobile phone, text messages, and work messenger before the death. Moreover, the perpetrator student's father, who is said to be a prosecution investigator, even visited the school."

He also pointed out, "Previously, the police hastily announced that there was no suspicion," and "They also claimed there was no contact via mobile phone."

Lee said, "It is hard to believe that the bereaved family is lying," adding, "Whether there were continuous contacts via mobile phone and text messages, and whether the perpetrator student's father visited the school can be quickly verified by checking records, and it can also be confirmed whether the perpetrator student's parents are police or prosecution investigators."

Furthermore, he urged, "If this is favoritism within the police and prosecution, this too should be subject to investigation," and called on "the Prosecutor General and the Commissioner General of the National Police Agency to investigate whether there was any concealment and conduct a fact-finding investigation into those involved."
