There is a radio section that reads the stories of the listeners and gives them an anger instead of’Block’, which is secretly fun. The subject of the story I heard yesterday was’violence’.
It must have been the subject of choice because it has become a social controversy as the history of school violence of recent athletes and auditioners has been revealed. The listener’s reaction was hot. There was a story of violence from school teachers, violence in the military, and violence from a senior band member. The types of violence ranged from verbal violence to severe beatings and sexual assaults.
If you think about it, we lived in the’era of barbarism’. In the country, people who were out of their eyes were tortured by red hair, and domestic violence in which fathers beat their mothers and parents beat their children. While adults are living in such a barbaric age, it is not surprising that children are exposed to violence and learn.
In fact, many children are perpetrators or victims of school violence, and many more children are passive participants or bystanders. Their positions are not fixed, so they sometimes become victims and perpetrators, bystanders and contributors, and then victims.
It was a hellish situation, but the adults weren’t able to respond properly to this problem. Moonyeol Lee <우리들의 일그러진 영웅>Although 35 years have passed since this publication, there are still adults who tolerate and use’Eomseokdae’. It is also a problem that cannot be solved until the elite-centered paradigm itself is changed, which values outcome rather than process and skill rather than character.
School violence, which was not handled properly, has returned to the boomerang of recent celebrity school violence. Changes in the media environment, such as the development of SNS, would have also had an effect. In a situation where anyone can start their own story and this can be shared indefinitely, the revelation article’who has harassed me in the past’ has a different power than before.
From getting off the audition to disqualifying from the national university
At first, mainly audition program participants were discussed. 2013 SBS
Although he has not entered the professional world yet, the exposure of the person who began to gain popularity by appearing on television began to lead to entertainers and athletes.

In 2019, a member of the band Jannabi left the band due to controversy over school violence, and trainees who appeared on Mnet got off due to controversy over school violence, and even the trainee contract was terminated. Jin Dal-rae, who appeared on TV Chosun and started running on the popular road, also admitted to school violence and got off.
The most shocking thing was the news about volleyball players Lee Jae-young and Lee Da-young. They admitted to school violence and apologized, but public opinion did not calm down, the association disqualified their national representative, and the agency imposed a disciplinary measure of indefinite suspension. It may be the result of seeing the seriousness of public opinion.
This change contains the spirit of the times. After the Me Too movement in 2016, in addition to sexual harassment and sexual violence, an atmosphere of anger against violence against the weak and sympathetic to the suffering of victims was formed. As such, there is a strong consensus about the damages of school violence, and the public’s feelings that the perpetrators of school violence cannot be forgiven have been amplified.
‘Happy report’ focused only on business
If so, what about the media reports of school violence? In general, the power of the press plays a large role in the public opinion and resolution of an issue. Are the media reports of school violence helping to solve the problem of school violence in our society? Not at all.
The press usually irresponsibly delivers the revelation post and sells clicks, saying, “Anyone is a gangster?” Reports related to Lee Jae-young and Da-young Da-young are amazing.
When exposed, the disclosure text is transferred as it is. When I apologize, I just say that I apologized, and when I get off, I get off. They say that the banner has been put down, the broadcast has been deleted, and they continue to make articles. Even being disciplined was made into individual articles. Like’salami’, which eats very thin slices of large ham, they are selling each piece of news about this sister. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is truly’salami reporting’.
Simply <조선일보> If you search for’Lee Jae-young’s school violence’ on the website, there are 193 related reports from February 10th to noon on the 18th. This phenomenon <조선일보>Is it only? When Naver searches for’Lee Jae-young Lee Da-young School Violence’ in the same period, 2466 articles come out. Just by reading the title, you’ll be able to figure out what happened over time.

Even with so many reports on school violence, it is difficult to find a report that is really necessary. There are reports that appear to surround the perpetrators by mentioning their ability or presence. The article reported on the 13th is titled “The perpetrator’s dream is also shattered, the school bomb’s boomerang”. The subtitles are’Mother’s unachievable Olympic medal dream, but also the crisis of falling behind’ and’Warning of social losses beyond the victims of abuse and perpetrators’.
Of course, there are not many reports of such an absurd level. Most of the reports are just the level of’disadvantageous house in fire’, and reports with appropriate admonition can also be found. As a result of this incident, some editorials and commentary that the issue of sports violence should be resolved, and some pointed out that camping life is a hotbed of violence between players and that this issue should be resolved. The volleyball association, as well as the sports world, is recommending that measures be taken.
However, there is little effort to approach school violence, a problem that must be solved, and to approach it in various ways. Although the victims are said to have made this or that claim, there are few articles with sincerity that sympathize with their pain and strive for healing. The suffering of the victims of school violence and their families is so severe that it cannot be dealt with in a sentence or two, but on the other hand, we are not deeply interested in how society must change to heal their trauma.
It is also inconvenient to focus only on the actions of the perpetrator. When the perpetrators were children, it does not address the problem of adults who should have been responsible for them. It seems that most of the abuses of sisters Lee Jae-young and Da-young Da-young were in the camp, but they do not properly examine the human rights issues there. Most of all, when these perpetrators commit their offenses, who are the adults who should have been responsible, guided, rebuked, and resolved, and they never ask what they did at that time.
Even similarly, in the case of male volleyball players Song Myung-geun and Shim Gyeong-seop, who have been exposed to their abilities, the victims said, “I regret that I went over silently without asking for any compensation to become a volleyball player. This means that the victim should have raised the issue properly and went silently without even receiving an apology, which is a more serious destructive action than the fact of the perpetrators’ abuse. There is no point on this.
The reality is that the goal of solving the school violence problem is not seen in the flood of’reporting on school violence. The press seems to be only interested in making commercial gains by reporting the controversy. It seems to be seeing the reality of the media that cannot follow the public’s perspective, the public’s emotions, and the people’s human rights sensitivity.
Finish the hunt and start solving
From now on, the media should end the hunting game for individual players who have a problem and go out to solve the school violence problem. We need to look at the trauma of many victims of school violence, and talk about what measures we need to take other than the’worker punishment’.
In addition, social debate is needed on how far and what to do with school violence reports. Most of the current reports of controversy over academia are unconditionally reporting all revelatory articles. In the process, even bona fide victims can arise. Therefore, the media, like any other report, should calmly show an attitude to report on verification.
It should also be noted that the perpetrators are becoming widespread, not only for entertainers or athletes, but also for actors, reporters, and public servants who are virtually all active members of society. Some voices say whether it is worth reporting only when the perpetrator is’official’, or whether it is a matter of the past that is difficult to prove so that only cases recorded as obvious crimes should be reported.
What is clear is that the premise of all these discussions should have a clear position to’get rid of school violence’. The coverage should be fierce, but there should be no mention of a person with high achievements, a person with skills, and a person with power, so it should not be mentioned roughly. Because there was such an approach, this problem has been around for so long.
In fact, we all have experienced school violence. All were perpetrators, accomplices, participants, and bystanders. This problem, which is bound to be a hot potato, must no longer be consumed as a scandal of others, but must be faced as a reality that must be solved.

Finally, add another sound. In the process of searching for how many reports about Kim Da-young were on the website, I encountered an absurd article. This is the February 17 article, “Kim Yuri, who teamed up in bullying, was thrown in the recent academy controversy.” It was judged to be a very meaningful article in that it interviewed a player who became the MVP of the game 11 years after overcoming the bullying. However, the first sentence of this article was absurd.
“Would a woman get along well with a woman? I met Kim Yuri (30) at GS Caltex Center with this question. In the 23-year-old average age team, Yuri Kim breaks the prejudice that’the girl group is bloody’ with generous eldest leadership.”
In the following text, no matter how good Kim Yu-ri’s remarks were, it felt like the reporter’s prejudice against women revealed in the lead moon closed her mind.
There is still a long way to go.
