Mr. Joo said, “(At first) I tried to be generous and issued a statement. I met with the teacher to resolve any misunderstandings, apologized for the harsh words the teacher said, and requested a meeting to make things better, but it was rejected.”
He claimed that he later received a letter from the special education teacher containing demands such as writing a withdrawal of complaint, compensation for material damage, and posting a handwritten apology.
