Awareness of widespread violence leads to violence
‘Spreading’ from sports and entertainment to the whole society
The victims… Pay attention to’Panchun Literature’
It is necessary to come out with effective coping with the violence… Determination of authenticity is also key
It was a’play’ in my childhood… Even now, when I think about the time, my billionaires collapse. Watching the shameless smile on TV, I wanted to take revenge.
-Among the articles exposed to the online community
The so-called’Happy Me Too’ is spreading throughout society. Unlike in the past, which was regarded as a joke of the’Immature’, school violence (abusive) is recognized as a crime, and many victims are raising their voices.
Victims who were abused in childhood complain of’trauma’ until adulthood due to problems such as moral development disorder, emotional fear, and delusions, anger disorder, and low self-esteem.
Although they are showing the scars of being abusive through online communities and social media, some netizens have a negative function of revealing falsehoods, so there is an opinion that they should be alert.
Fan feelings were also cold… ‘Happy’ domino in the sports world

In the sports world, schooling is like a chronic disease. Sports athletes who start exercising professionally since school days have been frequently exposed to violence. This is because some of the players and leaders reigned like a’king’ due to the closed culture of academic relations. Experts contend that the volleyball harassment case clearly reveals the violence between the players who have been trying to catch the’military flag’.
The fans were shocked. In particular, popular volleyball players with strong fandom in the women’s volleyball world, Lee Da-young and Lee Jae-young, had a stained school day that made many fans turn their backs.
Netizens who revealed themselves that they belonged to the volleyball team of Jeonju Geunyeong Middle School with sisters Lee Da-young and Lee Jae-young said, “The misfortune started because of this sister I met in the 6th grade of elementary school.”
The netizens raised their voices saying that the sisters Lee Da-young and Lee Jae-young ordered personal laundry regardless of their colleagues and juniors, and that they constantly harassed them, such as habitually extorting money and cursing their parents by threatening with a knife.
He referred to the article Lee Da-young posted on social media while shooting his senior Kim Yeon-kyung, “The bully may be fun, but the bullied wants to die.” “I think he has completely forgotten the actions he has done. “It’s so angry and embarrassing that I posted such a post while I went to another school as if running away without showing any apology or reflection.”
As the controversy grew, Lee Da-young and Lee Jae-young left their team and posted an apology through social media. Lee Da-young wrote, “I deeply apologize for speaking and acting to my colleagues who worked out sweating like they were in school to have difficult memories and scars with a young heart.”
Lee Jae-young said, “I hurt a lot of people because of the irresponsible behavior I did in the past when I was young. I bowed my head to apologize. I will never forget the wrong actions and words I did in the future, and I will become a more mature person.”
Heungkuk Life’s side, a member of the team, was criticized for responding late after pondering the level of disciplinary action for Lee, the team’s’face’ after Kim Yeon-kyung. Eventually, the club sentenced the two to an indefinite suspension. The volleyball association also deprived Lee of her national qualifications indefinitely.
The entertainment program featuring Lee Da-young and Lee Jae-young was busy erasing the traces of the two in a hurry. It is also known that there is a possibility that the advertisements that were recorded may have to be virtually removed and require a large penalty.

OK Financial Group’s Song Myung-geun and Shim Gyeong-seop also acknowledged and apologized for being harassers. The article on the damage claim posted by a netizen through an online bulletin board was surprising. He revealed that “the perpetrators were subjected to testicular sutures at a vital spot.” He also claimed that if he was late, he was assaulted indiscriminately in a warehouse.
Song Myung-geun and Shim Gyeong-seop admitted to the abuses in the team investigation and apologized through the club. OK Financial Group said, “We will do our best to manage players through recurrence prevention measures and continuous training.”
Sang-ha Park, a player in the Blue Fangs of Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance, was also newly designated as a harassment perpetrator. A netizen named Park Sang-ha and Jecheon Middle School alumni claimed that Park Sang-ha was the leader of bullying and that he took money and committed violence. He said, “From 4 pm to 6 am, I was knocked out without any reason.” “I had a fractured nose, two front teeth, and my ribs were cracked, so I spent a month in the hospital. He showed resentment.
He said, “I thought it would be ridiculous and it would be comfortable to die apart, but I was patient with the thoughts of my family. I wrote.”
The Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance team had a personal interview with Park Sang-ha after facing the controversy. In this interview, Park Sang-ha denied that he had “never participated in a hakama”. The club does not plan to have Park Sang-ha appear in the game until the facts are confirmed.
Public opinion is frowning not only on the individual players but also on the team’s actions. They show a lukewarm attitude compared to the seriousness of the abuse, and the apology of the perpetrators is also criticized for being a’showing ceremony. Accordingly, the Korea Volleyball Federation (KOVO) recently announced a new rule that halted athletes will be completely expelled, and that “we will create a rule that can impose the highest permanent disciplinary action on those involved in school violence.”
However, the Korea Sports Association said, “There may be some harsh aspects of preventing adolescents from inadvertently entering the sports field for a lifetime.” “There is a need for an institutional device that helps people re-enter the company.” As a result, it became inevitable to advocate for abusers and reprimand for focusing on supporting the abusers.
If it gets branded, it’s over… The entertainment world is also a harpoon advisory

Singer Jin Dal-rae is a star who missed the opportunity to’garden’ due to a hag. He participated in the popular audition program TV Chosun’Mistrot 2′, which has an audience rating of close to 30%, and was spotlighted for the first time since his debut, but he got off due to exposure to the semi-finals.
The victim of the azalea academia wrote, “I was hitting my face so that I could not recognize the shape, and I was hitting my face so that I could not recognize the shape. I was hitting my chest and I couldn’t breathe momentarily,” he wrote.
Jin Dal-rae said he would get off at’Mistrot 2′, saying that he admitted to his fault after a day of exposure. He apologized, saying, “I am heartbreakingly regretful and resentful for saying that my childish behavior still remains a trauma.”
On the other hand, although suspicion of abusing arose, there are some stars who predicted a tough response, saying that it was a’false fact’.
Before the final stage of JTBC’s’Singer Gain’, a revelation that singer Yoari was from Iljin when she was in middle school was revealed. The author angered Yoari, saying, “I’m from Iljin and I’ve been hitting a lot of kids in an accident and dropping out, but I just laughed at dropping out due to family circumstances.” He added, “If you lie, you thought your past would disappear,” he added. “People who were abused would have their teeth broken.”
Before the final stage of the live broadcast, the production crew said that Yoari was denying the suspicion of a bully. After the broadcast ended, Yoari directly refuted, saying, “I wasn’t a neat and good student, but I was never a perpetrator who harassed or beaten anyone for no reason.” He stressed, “I have been stigmatized as an offender, but I will respond as much as I can.”
Group TOO member Cha Woong-ki was praised as a’star with confidence’ by sniping college colleagues having drinks despite the Corona 19 crisis, and then used the stigma as a harassment.
One netizen said, “I hate to remain a great person like Cha Woong-gi is a superman. I can’t see what people support with my drinking speech.” Blamed.
He claimed that Cha Woong-gi and his friends engaged in continuous verbal violence, bullying, swearing against parents, and bullying using social media. However, Cha Woong-gi explained, “It is true that there were people who did not have good feelings with Cha Woong-gi during school days, but the arguments that they used violence in a way that harassed certain people were completely different.” He warned, “In the future, if unfounded malicious slander and dissemination of false facts against our artists continue, we will also take a decisive method.”
Actor Cho Byeong-gyu, who hit a home run from’SKY Castle’,’Stove League’ and’Wonderful Rumors’, is also struggling with the violence. Netizens, who attended the same school as Cho Byeong-gyu in New Zealand, claimed that they were verbally abused by Cho Byeong-gyu.
As the suspicion of Cho Byeong-gyu’s school abuse increased, the agency, HB Entertainment, announced a strong legal response. However, shortly after requesting an investigation, the netizen contacted the agency and apologized for the fact that the article was false, and it is known that he sought a predecessor.
Another classmate’s further disclosure came out when I wondered if the suspicion of the school bombing of Cho Byeong-gyu would be resolved. The author claimed that he was a one-year junior at the elementary school of Cho Byeong-gyu and said, “Before he went abroad to study, he lived in the same town, but he was famous as Iljin and poor quality friends.” He said, “I want to see if the parties can look at it face-to-face and see if I can extract it,” he said. “I hope it will end in an apple line, but if it goes to court, I have a plan to go.”
As additional disclosure articles spread, another alumni of Cho Byeong-gyu directly refuted to remove the unjust frame of his friend. He said, “Because he was active and popular, he was a kid who received a lot of attention, and he never lived with bad things,” he said. “Because of acting, he was envy and jealous, and the kids were very annoyed.” He added, “Because it’s good or not, it seems like I keep coming out bullshit without evidence.”
The controversy over Cho Byeong-gyu’s abuse is currently ongoing. Another netizen complained that he and Cho Byeong-gyu had attended high school together in New Zealand, and complained of the victims of school bombing. He said, “After studying abroad in 2010, Cho Byeong-gyu became famous for his handsome appearance, and his connection with the Korean-American community grew. He took him to the karaoke room and told him he couldn’t sing. It got worse, kicking or hitting and everything in the hand was a weapon.”
The author said, “If Cho Byeong-gyu is watching, I want to ask if you’d like to apologize. Every time I hear the news, it’s so painful, but I’m at least sorry,” he said. I wish I could get the punishment that deserves it,” he said with strength.
Cho Byeong-gyu’s management company made another official position and once again denied the allegations of abusing. HB Entertainment said, “The first spread of false facts was promised and preempted by their own reflection and prevention of recurrence, but requested an investigation to the police on the grounds of insults and defamation in case of false information against those who posted false information for malicious purposes. I said. The case was handled by the Gangnam Police Station Cyber Investigation Unit.
‘Me Too’ spreading to various fields of society… ‘Limitations’ to identify authenticity

Beyond the sports and entertainment world, it is a pattern that is spreading among the general public. Various professions, including teachers, firefighters, and police officers, were identified as perpetrators.
Netizens claiming the damage from firefighters in Jeollabuk-do claimed that “I spit on dirty slippers and mocked them by hitting them several times until they swollen their cheeks.” He said, “I accidentally saw a photo of the perpetrator who became a public servant and smiled brightly with his family.” He revealed the reason for the disclosure, saying, “I did not receive a reply.” The firefighter, who was accused of being the perpetrator, is known to have denied the alleged abuse.
In addition, there were also disclosures that the abuser was serving as a police officer, and that the abusive senior of the athletics department passed the teacher appointment exam. In the community, there were also articles that announced that victims who were abused while in school are waiting for the perpetrator to become famous.
Why did the victims expose the abusers’ abuse after decades? Experts believe that the celebrity’s Hakkeok Me Too was revealed to the public and, when accused of being criticized, courageously initiated a series of disclosures.
A professor of psychology analyzed that “the general public also recovered their self-esteem and gained a sense of reward by seeing the perpetrators swear or socially blame them.”
There is also an interpretation that the violence that is rampant in society, such as harassment in the workplace, as a result of being abusive, will raise awareness. However, there is also a problem of false disclosure such as’Panchun Literature’ (Pan + New Year Literature, self-written text written in Nate Edition).
Popular culture critic Chung Deok-hyun said, “In the past, there was no space for harassment damage, but now you can talk directly through social media, etc. It is a positive part to be able to bring out chronic problems compared to the past when you were alone with scars.” Evaluated as.
Still, he emphasized, “Because of the past, it is difficult to grasp the authenticity and there is a possibility of another innocent victim,” he said. “The moment the problem is raised, the perpetrator is damaged by the image, so it is time to consider whether there are false facts.”
Some also point to structural problems in which school violence was not diagnosed early. When I was a child who experienced abuse, there was a perception that it was’my fault’, but after becoming an adult, I realized that it was the offender’s fault and started to expose.
The Ministry of Education announced a plan to lower the age of criminal minors who are not punished for committing a crime. Some are voicing that effective measures should be taken. One elementary school teacher stressed, “Even if they are abused, they are more often unable to report. The psychological counseling time of the victims should be increased, and an atmosphere of punishment should be created if they are abused.”
