Deceased Daejeon Teacher Donates Body Tissues to 100 People... Boycott Movement Against Business of Abusive Parent with Malicious Complaints

Bereaved Families Decide According to Deceased's Wishes
Local Residents Launch 'Star Rating Terror' on Perpetrator Parent's Business

An elementary school teacher in Daejeon, who is known to have taken their own life after suffering from malicious complaints for nearly four years, donated their body tissues to patients before passing away.

According to Yonhap News and others on the 8th, the family of teacher A said that after A was declared dead around 6 p.m. on the 7th, they decided to donate A’s body tissues (skin). Teacher A had expressed the intention to donate organs several times during their lifetime, and the family reportedly made this decision to honor that wish.

A’s body tissues are expected to be delivered to about 100 patients in urgent need of skin transplant surgeries, such as burn victims.

On the same day, a post titled “He was a teacher until the very end. Thank you to the bereaved family for making this difficult decision” was uploaded to an online community in the Daejeon area.

The author stated that the post was made with the consent of the family and conveyed, “The teacher donated skin to burn patients immediately after passing away.” They added, “The family also considered organ donation, but the circumstances were not favorable.” Organ donation other than body tissues and eyes is generally possible only before a brain-dead patient is declared dead.

Residents of Daejeon who learned of the news expressed sorrow with comments such as “My heart really aches” and “Such an angelic teacher.”

Meanwhile, as information about businesses reportedly operated by the offending parents was shared on online communities such as mom cafes, local residents have begun boycotting these businesses, including conducting “star rating attacks.”

Residents left reviews criticizing the offending parents, saying things like “I used to go there often, but I will never go again,” “I’m angry at my past self who took my children there multiple times without knowing this was happening,” “You reap what you sow,” and “Why did you do that?” expressing their intention to boycott the businesses.

As of the afternoon of the 8th, the online review ratings for both businesses are in the 1-star range.

Earlier, elementary school teacher A took their own life at their home in Daejeon on the afternoon of the 5th and was transferred to a hospital but passed away two days later on the 7th.

According to the Daejeon Metropolitan Office of Education and the Daejeon Teachers’ Union, A was accused of child abuse by the parents of a student who was sent to the principal’s office for assaulting a friend at Daejeonhan Elementary School, where A worked in 2019, and suffered from malicious complaints for several years.

In particular, it is known that the deceased recently heard about the death of a teacher at Seoi Elementary School in Seoul and appealed to family and those around them, saying, “The old pain resurfaces and it’s hard.”
