A teacher's thermos disappeared on the 13th of last month at a kindergarten in Geumcheon-gu, Seoul.
When the teacher who lost the thermos checked the CCTV, there was a scene taken by a fellow teacher A.
On CCTV, Mr. A was also photographed putting something into a co-teacher's coffee cup with a plastic potion bottle.

Kindergarten reported to the police and checked the CCTV further, the teacher's suspicious behavior was revealed again.
It was confirmed that not only a fellow teacher but also a kindergarten student's feeding bureau had the contents of the vial.
It was only four times that children's meals and teacher's meals were confirmed.
[Kindergarten side briefing: It was discovered that soup, bibimjang, and soy sauce were done while opening the lid.

Eight empty vials came out of Mr. A's desk drawer.
None of the children who ate the potion-filled meal complained of symptoms such as abdominal pain, but the police sent thermos and medicine bottles to the National Institute of Forensic Science and asked for composition analysis.
[Kindergarten parents: I said it was because I was bullied (by my fellow teachers), but to say that it is the cause, it is not necessary to put (foreign substances) in the children's soup stock.]
The teacher insisted that there was water in the medicine container.
The police have secured a whole year's worth of kindergarten CCTV servers to keep checking the suspicious behavior of teachers.
