Entertainment shows like dramas and movies are there for enjoyment and sometimes education when it attempts to hew close to reality and highlight relevant issues. The School series has in recent years dealt with bullying in South Korea, and also the drama Angry Mom addressed the problem head on. Knowing it exists and is a really big problem can’t prepare for actually seeing visual evidence of it in real life as the current news coverage is inundated by shocking graphic pictures and video of a violent bullying attack by school girls in Busan.
It’s not even high school students that takes this to a new level of dismay, the attackers were two 15 year old 3rd year middle school students (9th grade in the US), and the victim was a 14 year old 2nd year middle school student. The attackers cornered her in an abandoned factory and attacked her for 30 minutes with steel pipes, bricks and soju bottle shards. The victim was left begging on her hands and knees and left completed bloodied. A trigger warning if you want to click beyond and see the heartbreaking pictures, thankfully the victim survived and was treated at the hospital, and the police are now investigating the two attackers and also a third girl who stood by and watched.

Wtf. But what do you expect from a country who thinks they're so entitled that they think whatever they say is right making idols at their mercy.
Bullying is an ongoing worldwide problem.
Bullying is happening everywhere in every country
I would get involved since I do not tolerate any bullying should I come across it verbally, physically or even in cyber space. I'm an advocate, can't stand bullyism in any way or fashion. It happens more so with adults bullying other adults, I'm a female worked in a male oriented outside job for phone company and it's happened to me and seen it happen in crews I've worked in as well as witnessed it in other departments. How can we stand by and let it happen, that's why when left to fester, it becomes an over whelming disease that continues to grow in my country as well as in other countries. What can we do to dissolve this brutality? For one thing, LET'S START STOPPING IT AS PART OF SCENES IN THESE DRAMAS FOR ONE, WRITERS, YOU ARE ALSO AT FAULT, SEE IT SO OFTEN IN THE DRAMAS YOU CREATE AND IS COPIED THROUGHOUT. THESE DRAMAS HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY ALSO BECAUSE IT SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING THEME AT TIMES, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, WE ARE ALL HUMAN, WHEN WILL THIS HUMILIATION END? ESPECIALLY FOR OUR YOUNG PEOPLE.
not every koreans are like that. you shouldn't be saying that stuff when you have no knowledge. only the stupid government is like that. you don't knwo anything.
What on earth... My heart goes out to that girl
But Jesus, why do people have to be so cruel?
I'm speechless...this is beyond cruelty, just sick those crazy b**** should be lockup...That poor girl...
These bitches put the bullying in Angry Mom to shame. They need serious help, and maybe some time away from society.
I didn't realize it IS this bad in Korea. Those girls were BRUTAL. No words. I hope justice and goodness prevail.
Those girls are monsters. Hope the victim is fine now. Those girls need to imprison for life ,they don't deserve to live in our society.
It seems like the Korean society needs to take a closer look at how these kids are being brought up and REFLECT. This is not just "bullying", this is physically assaulting another person, which IS a serious crime.
they will grow up to become murderers, pain in the a** of society and taxpayers money!
The sad thing is these girls will get heavy sentences but if it were boys they would get lighter ones. The sexism in Korea is so profound it reaches their highest order across all levels of crime.
A while back we heard the story of the 15yo that was bullied, tortured and forced into prostitution until they murdered her brutally and burnt her corpse.
3 female (14 and 15 yo) and 1 adult male was charfes for the crime. The two 14yo got away on a light sentence because they weren't in charged, the adult male was given 6 years and the 15 yo was given 10 years because she was the one that called the other girl out even though the male was the pimp and all 4 admitted to having a hand in her death.
Unfortunately there is this minor law that protects them, so most of them usually get away with lighter sentences. Same goes for Japan.
I see 2 girls attacking and 2 girls standing by watching so why are they only investigating 3 girls? This is "dog pack" behavior. It's a wonder they didn't kill her. I hope severe justice is served.
