“I don’t want to live anymore… Thank you for giving my colleagues a perfect excuse to tease and bully me.”
The unidentified school teacher referred only as “A” was convicted of child abuse and sentenced to 10 months in prison and had his teaching license suspended for 5 years on April 26.
According to reports, the tragic events that led to Woo’s death unfolded during an Ethics class on March 25, 2019. Woo was “caught” reading a copy of Wise Man’s Child, a light manga novel by Japanese author Tsuyoshi Yoshioka, by his teacher. The punished student was so humiliated by the experience he didn’t go out with his mates to the schoolyard when it was time for Physical Education. He stayed behind in class, scribbling a message in his ethics textbook. It was the last thing he did before jumping from a 5th floor window and ending his own life.
A year after the student’s death, Daegu District Court’s Judge Shin Jin Woo issued a verdict against the ethics teacher: 10 months in prison and then 5 years of having his teaching license suspended.
