Parents' Criminal Charges Not Detected

The police stated that there is no record of parents calling the deceased teacher's personal number first in connection with the teacher's extreme choice at Seoi Elementary School. However, they raised the possibility that calls made to the extension number might have been forwarded.

A Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency official said at a press briefing on the 28th, "Forensic analysis of the deceased's iPad confirmed that calls made by parents to the school appeared on the iPad as coming from the personal number." The police estimate that this situation was misunderstood, leading to suspicions that parents involved in the so-called 'pencil incident' called the deceased's personal number.


The pencil incident occurred on the 12th of last month, when a student in the deceased's class drew on another student's forehead with a pencil. Six days later, the deceased was found dead on school grounds, and claims arose that the teacher had been subjected to malicious complaints from parents.


After conducting forensic analysis on the parents' mobile phones, the police found no evidence of criminal activity. Regarding a colleague teacher's statement that the deceased was struggling not only with the 'pencil incident' but also with other student-related issues, the police said there is currently no indication to suspect any crime.



The police also stated that forensic analysis of the deceased's iPhone was impossible, so call and message records could not be verified.
