After allegations of school violence by Lee Dong-gwan’s son, candidate for the chairman of the Korea Communications Commission, were raised, Lee’s side explained that there was no unilateral harm and that an apology and reconciliation were made between the parties in the first grade.
In addition to the teacher who first exposed the suspicion of school violence, YTN met with several other teachers with difficulty to hear their specific position.
Even when the victims were in the second grade, not only did they not reach an agreement with the perpetrator, but they also claimed that there was no misunderstanding in the statements of the students.
First of all, this is reporter Kim Chul-hee’s exclusive report.
[Reporter]
Last June, YTN met teacher Jeon Won-won Jeon, who was the first to report the suspicion of school violence by Dong-gwan Lee, a candidate for the chairman of the Korea Communications Commission.
[Jeon Gyeong-won / Hanago teacher at the time: (The school) handled me in a very non-transparent way, so this problem has remained until now… .]
As the suspicion continued, Candidate Lee’s side issued a statement of rebuttal, saying that the contents of the report were not true.
In 2011, when my son was in first grade, there was just a quarrel with a friend, and an apology and reconciliation had already been made between the parties.
One of the victims also sent a public statement to the media in June, saying that the statement was not written to ask for a school violence committee to be opened, but that there was a gap between the time of the damage and the damage.
He said that he was apologized by his friend and reconciled, and that he was no longer a ‘victim of school violence’.
Afterwards, YTN met teachers one after another who remembered the situation at the time.
The counselor, whom the victims first trusted and sought, said that there were many different parts of this candidate’s statement from what they remembered.
As this candidate claims, if everything was over in the first year after reconciliation, why did so many victims come to find themselves in the second year?
[Mr. A / Hana High School teacher at the time: If you came to me in 2nd grade and told the story that the children were having such a hard time, at least at that moment, at that point, at that moment, you can’t say that you agreed with them (it’s not).] The students were clearly suffering
. He refuted that there was not a word of lies in the statement he wrote himself under the circumstances he appealed to.
[Mr. A / Hana High School teacher at the time: The nuances and emotional direction of the handwriting are consistent. I wrote it in an instant. in a matter of minutes. There is no misunderstanding in a single letter, there.]
The testimonies of other teachers have a similar purpose.
The victim students had already asked the school for help several times in the first grade,
[Mr. B / Hana High School teacher at the time: (The victim student in the first grade) notified the school, begging for anonymity in the form of a report. ]
After the problem was not resolved, he went to trusted teachers and asked for help.
The teachers, who later realized the seriousness of the situation, said they had decided that the candidate’s son, who had committed such aggression, should leave the school.
[Mr. C / Hana High School teacher at the time: I was in a position to think that (disposition of transfer) should be that strong.]
At the time, YTN also contacted other victims who appeared in the statement, but most of them avoided specific comments.
It turns out that the testimony of those who remember the situation at the time and the position of candidate Lee Dong-gwan are different, but
the candidate’s side is still not giving a specific explanation.
This is YTN Kim Chul-hee.

Lee Dong-gwan, a candidate for the Korea Communications Commission, is also controversial over the fact that he made a phone call with Kim Seung-yu, the chairman of the Hanago Foundation, when the issue of school violence against his son surfaced.
Regarding this, Hana High School teachers at the time agreed that even a simple phone call between parents and the president could be an inappropriate메이저사이트 intervention.
Here, former chairman Kim is expected to be controversial because he is in a position that contradicts candidate Lee’s explanation that he has a relationship since his days as a reporter.
Next is reporter Woo Cheol-hee’s exclusive report.
[Reporter]
Dong-gwan Lee, candidate for the chairman of the Korea Communications Commission, called Seung-yu Kim, then chairman of the board of directors of Hanago, around May 2012, when his son was on the verge of transferring school due to the issue of school violence.
[Kim Seung-yu / Former Chairman of Hanago High School: It is disadvantageous to take the test at the new transfer school, so ‘Please let me take the test here.’ I had something to say. That’s all.]
Candidate Lee emphasized that the call was only for fact-checking and not exerting pressure, but Hana High School teachers had a different idea at the time.
[Chun Kyung-won / Teacher at Hana High School at the time: I think it’s the top of the top. Normal people can’t call the principal at school. Who is calling the chairman? If it’s really unfair, if you have a problem, call your homeroom teacher… .]
Another teacher who consulted the victims at the time of his belated opening up also pointed out that the phone call between candidate Lee and former chairman Kim was quite inappropriate.
In particular, it is a conventional wisdom that even a very simple phone call with the chairman is considered an intervention in the situation of school violence.
Again, he emphasized that there is no case of discussing with the chairman over school issues.
At the same time, the school did not forget to say that the distinction between support and punishment should not arise due to the difference in learner’s status.
[Mr. A / Teacher at Hana High School at the time: I wonder if I didn’t contact you like this as a person with a suitable acquaintance. However, when this is talking about an incident, the situation is different then.]
In the midst of this, questions are being raised about this candidate’s explanation of his past acquaintance with former chairman Kim.
Candidate Lee said in a statement before nomination that former chairman Kim, whom he had known since his days as a reporter, was the only person he had known among Hanago officials.
However, former chairman Kim, who met with YTN, said it was not true.
I didn’t know this candidate when I was a reporter, and I made friends around 2008 when former President Lee Myung-bak took office.
[Kim Seung-yu / Former Chairman of Hanago: I didn’t know when I was a reporter. He’s a political reporter, how do I know? Since 2008 (former President Lee Myung-bak) has been inaugurated. I think this person (Lee Dong-gwan) was chasing after the 2007 election. That’s why I don’t know if the first thing I knew was after I became president or before I became president.]
This raises the question of whether or not I told the truth about my past relationship to emphasize the circumstances that forced me to call the chairman of the foundation at the time.
Regarding this, Candidate Lee’s side explained that he met and greeted former Chairman Kim as a reporter while in charge of the Finance and Economy Committee when he was a reporter for the National Assembly in the 1990s, and that it seems that former Chairman Kim does not remember because it has been a long time.
