When netizens who saw the post pointed out in the comments, "Why are you uploading a video of hitting people," the video publisher said, "I was playing with my brother." I'm proud of it. Even if you guys are upset, I'm lying comfortably and watching SNS."
One of the netizens who saw this reported it to the Gwangju West Police Station on the 27th, and the police, who started investigating, identified the identity of the four assailants.
The police plan to conduct an attendance investigation of the victims and perpetrators, and also plan to investigate how the video of the assault was distributed online.
Currently, the video and SNS posts have been deleted, but there are concerns about secondary harm to the victim students as the captured copies are circulated through some online communities.
