Before Kim Geun-sik was released from prison, our SBS reporters analyzed the current status of sex offenders in schools across the country.
About half of the sex offenders with registered personal information live within a 1km radius of the school.

If there is a risk that a sex offender may reoffend against children after being released from prison, personal information is registered in the 'Sex Offender Notification e' according to the court ruling.
You can directly check the name, photo, and residence information along with the crime facts.
It was also found that 4 sex offenders resided within a 1km radius of the elementary school I visited.
Parents are amazed.
[Parent: Oh, is it?
I did not know.
I didn't even know it was right in front.]
One out of two elementary, middle and high schools across the country live within a 1km radius of a sex offender with registered personal information.
By region, Seoul (80%), Busan (76%) and Incheon (69.2%) account for more than half (66.2%) of sexual offenses against children and adolescents.
The number of sex offenders whose personal information has been disclosed and registered is accumulating every year, and 90,000 people have been identified until the first half of this year.
There are over 1,000 cases of recidivism every year in the order of sexual assault, illegal filming, and rape.
Of the 129 people whose whereabouts are unknown, 7 are in the high-risk group for more than 10 years in prison.
Right now, the field complains about the shortage of workers.
[Police official: It's not enough.
We usually manage 45 to 50 people per person.
I do all cases of domestic violence, sexual assault, juvenile offenders, and child abuse.

It is pointed out that it is urgent to come up with measures to manage the increase in sex offenders so that there are no more recidivism victims.
