While the consolation letter written at a girls' high school in Seoul is still controversial, a petition from the Blue House to ban the culture of forcing a consolation letter received 130,000 signatures.
Oh!
The third search term for clicking is "No consolation letters" with 130,000 agreements.
On the 12th, a national petition titled 'Please ban the letters of consolation forced by girls' high schools' was posted.
The petitioner pointed out, "It is a big problem that I have to write a condolence letter regardless of one's will."
He also criticized "how inappropriate it is for female students who are only minors to forcibly write letters to comfort adult men."
Within two days of posting the petition, more than 130,000 people signed it.
This controversy spread when a letter of consolation sent by a female high school student was released earlier.
It contained sarcastic content such as "There will be many trials in life, but you have to overcome this level to be a man?"
Afterwards, excessive accusations against students, stealing personal information, and sexually harassing remarks were also controversial.
Netizens responded, "I would like to create a campaign to write a thank-you letter to all people of all ages without forcing it on students."
