A video showing a male high school student assaulting a classmate in Incheon has been circulated on social networking services (SNS), prompting a police investigation.


According to the Incheon Yeonsu Police Station on March 9, a video suspected to be related to school violence was posted on SNS on March 6.


The short video, uploaded to platforms such as Instagram, shows Student A, a first-year student at a certain high school in Incheon, repeatedly punching his classmate, Student B, in a classroom and then kicking B as he resists.


After confirming the existence of this video, the police identified the students involved and have already summoned and questioned Student B.


It has been reported that Student B stated that Student A had frequently provoked him in the past, and on the day of the incident, assaulted him because he did not respond properly when spoken to.


The police, in cooperation with the Korea Communications Standards Commission and the Incheon East District Office of Education, have taken steps to delete all versions of the video uploaded to the internet.


In addition, the police plan to summon Student A on charges of assault and investigate the incident in detail with the participation of his guardian.


The school reported the case to the East District Office of Education as a school violence incident after the video was posted.


The police also plan to investigate the individual who filmed the video and those who distributed it.



A police official stated, "Immediately after becoming aware of the video, we identified the students and began our investigation," adding, "We took swift action to delete the video to prevent further spread and additional harm."
