It makes a lot of sense actually. I mean imagine being traumatized permanently by someone in your youth and they end up being famous, supposedly to be a public figure knowing that they seriously hurt people in the past while the victims are still suffering even if it was decades ago. I'm telling you this might just be Korea's version of the MeToo movement

Thirdly, I think yall underestimate what bullying means in Korea. I dont expect you to understand because you guys have obviously never been to a Korean school, but you have to accept that school environments are not identical worldwide, and bullying in korean schools isnt just calling someone names, or taking their lunch money or whatever. Theres actually a deeper layer of wanting to prove superiority through the complete degradation of someone elses dignity. You are literally treated like trash, and the worst part is that theres no one there to help you. The teachers hold no power - I mean literally all they can do is call you into the office and have a little chat.

this happened to the school where i went to as well and it's in a poor european country. the difference here was that the teachers don't exactly hold no power, they just didn't care and wanted students to solve things among themselves. not trying to underestimate anything but it's much more common than expected.

9. [+295, -7] Bullies always forget the violence they inflicted on others because it was a brief moment of thrill for them... But for the victims? All those wounds and scars remain. It's been 13 years since I was last bullied and I still remember those days crystal clear. Don't think that an apology post will make this all go away. You deserve to suffer the same pain you inflicted on your victim.

I'm just going to drop this here, a netizen comment
