While the son of lawyer Jeong Soon-shin committed violence at school and went to Seoul National University, the victim’s life was difficult, and public opinion is growing.
In fact, it is a reality that many victims of school violence suffer from another school, such as avoiding the perpetrator and transferring schools.
Reporter Kim Da-hyun met with victims of school violence and their families.

Jeong Mo-gun, the son of the lawyer Jeong Sun-shin, who was appointed head of the National Investigation Headquarters, fell off the horse the next day.
He committed school violence against a classmate and was forced to transfer to Seoul National University.
While Jeong took time off with the lawsuit, the victim underwent psychiatric treatment and even made an extreme choice.
This is not the only case where perpetrators of school violence live as if nothing happened and victims suffer.
A, who has a daughter in the 3rd grade of elementary school, moved to the next town in a hurry to transfer school a month ago.
She stands to separate her daughter, who suffered violence at school last year, from the perpetrator.
[A 씨 / 학교폭력 피해자 어머니 : 우리 아이가 지금 정신과 치료도 받고 굉장히 힘든 시기를 겪고 있는데 가해 아이랑 계속 마주친다는 사실이 저는 너무 힘들어서 이대로는 안 되겠다 싶어서 차라리 그냥 일찍 이사를 하자. 그래서 좀 무리를 해서 여기 이사를 온 상태예요.]
Mr A’s daughter suffered from constant demands to ‘show her body’ by a boy in the same class last summer.
In the end, the girl who sent the picture was afraid to go to school with shame and even shock.
The School Anti-Violence Committee opened and issued a class separation measure to the student, but it was useless in a small school.
[A 씨 / 학교폭력 피해자 어머니 : 결국은 아이가 마주치고 그 아이를 목격하게 되니까 아이도 굉장히 스트레스를 받아 하더라고요. 제가 그래서 수시로 물어보니까 얘기를 하더라고요. 엄마가 슬퍼할까 봐 얘기 안 했다고.]
Mr. B, who has a son in middle school, worried as soon as the new school year started.
Last year my son was injured for 8 weeks, including a broken arm due to a ‘don’t ask’ attack from a classmate.
At least until the end of the year, it is said that absolute stability will not lead to disability, but the delinquent student still comes to school after 15 days of suspension from school.
[B 씨 / 학교폭력 피해자 어머니 : 복도를 지나가다 툭 부딪혀서 어? 장난인데, 실수인데 하면 또 이 아이의 (팔을) 부러뜨릴 수 있는 거죠. 저는 이 아이를 학교에 보내놓고 (걱정돼서) 쉴 수가 없어요.]
For victims, schools are still an unsafe space where they can suffer violence.
[학교폭력 피해 학생 : 지금 많이 무섭고 그냥 덩치가 좀 있으면 바로 얼굴부터 보는 습관도 좀 생겼고 그래서 교실 밖에는 거의 안 나가요.]
As the system fails to properly protect victims of school violence, the reality is that eventually victims have to find a way to live on their own and run away.
