That's not just bullying that's freaking physical assault, how can humans be this worse and just 16, 17 years old? This is heartbreaking I hope this girl is now living a better life
@@shubhashrichoudhury7266 no most of them childern, are brought up by rich or over protective parents. That defends their child everytime they do something wrong or pay it off so they never get in trouble. U can find parents like this anywhere but this is also the main reason Korea bullying is the worse and why it's come this far. Usually the ones with bad parental situations or home situations are the ones bullied, because family status is important over there.
@@cokser High schoolers are not children and it's not always the case, there are those who do bullying just for their own pleasure and they are in their teens, they knew what's right or wrong but because of their high status of course they are not scared. Let's just say parents have faults but it's still up to them whether who they will become and even someone who came from a loving family could end as evil as they could be.
Reading a lot of the knetz (Korean netizens) comments, the law for children/teenagers is lenient considering they're still underage. So no matter how cruel or disgusting the crime is, they are still given lower sentences. Koreans are also angry with how lenient their law is towards crimes like this including sex crimes. I've read multiple cases of bullying that will make anyone want to puke, and the culprits were still living free and happy
Koreans don’t even like their laws :( i remember when the burning suns scandal happened and all the perpetrators were given short sentences i saw comments of koreans saying things like: “omg now everyone knows that koreas justice system is trash!”
I don’t know if this is already a social issue (I haven’t looked into it) but I’m sure the gov’t is going to complain about “low birth rates.” Why would anyone want to bring a child into a work where they won’t be protected.
I also read a lot of comments from other videos like this saying that most teachers are afraid of the parents (as most of the bullies come from rich families). Apparently what we see in kdramas are downplayed versions of real life scenarios. Imagine the horror 🥲
I read an article about people who work with bullying cases in Korea and they said it’ even worse than it is in the drama. I feel so bad for the poor victims and so angry at the school administrators who don’t give a damn about the kids put into their care.
this is crazy.. I don't understand how their parents raise them. But no excuse its also the parents fault who have no idea on what's going on with their kids and if they're growing to the right path or not. Parenting knowledge plays an important role here. that is why its so tricky for us to know those who are actually eligible mentally and financially to get married.
@@stefanijovita1640 actually this drama just trying to open the victims mind which currently trap in this situation to take action and be brave to stands up for herself. i wish this drama delivered well to those who are parents now to mitigate the continuity of bullying within school. and pay more attention to their children.
The actual girl who got bullied in 2006 with a hair straightener recently came out on a TV show to talk about her experience and to seek revenge. It was so heartbreaking to see such a sweet girl having to go through such a horrible experience.
If the punishment for their first offense leaves no record, and they go on to commit another crime, it sounds like that crime could be excused again as a "first offense", as there would be no record of the prior offense?! That is really scary..
@@ギオ5508that’s not just bullying tho. It’s literally physical assault! And isn’t torture a heinous crime? It’s really scary how the things done to the victims are downplayed as just “bullying”.
They should make harsher punishments not just a slap on the wrist. Expulsion is nothing it's barely even a punishment, but maybe several years in a juvenile facility would teach them a lesson.
@@mysticloverfairy1 In Korea, minors are often forgiven or given very light sentences even if they're found guilty for serious criminal charges like murder. Korean Law System is way too easy on school bullies, sexual harassment or dating violence and more but they're very harsh for drug abuse.
These things are difficult to find a punishment because they bully people which can leave emotional scars,trauma,ect but others could argue they are teens children young adults even and should be given nothing other then detention since they haven’t reached the “maturity” of a adult Although I believe depending on the situation we should bring police into this a short jail period if its very bad (rape, abuse ect) and would have maybe a criminal record despite not being an adult? Anyways these things are hard but my teacher always told me to be sympathetic to everyone even such crimes understand both sides Was she forced to bully? Was this a result of unresolved trauma? Did she/he mean it on purpose?
I honestly don't understand how one human could do this to another and sleep peacefully in the night while the victim has to suffer every day with those horrible memories. your channel is sooo good , i love the fact how you explain everything in depth and interestingly. hope your channel goes big
Well, they are children and do not think about the consequences and maybe were never told no by their parents, or the oposite, they were abused or whatever at home. I hope they sleep bad and have at least some remorse.
I believe in one philosophy that small-weak people looking for smaller-weaker people and oppressing them (bullying them) so they can feel confidence not the weakest in this world, so wrong but in the end many people still doing that.
Im sorry but SK government are so dumb... school violence jumping from 30% to 40% only shows how lenient the law is. No one is afraid to do this bec they know that they will not be punished. It's disgusting. Instead of being concern and prioritizing the victims, they are more concern on how a criminal record might affect the perpetrators.
It seems like they are more concerned about the perpetrator😱 I'm a fan of kdramas and this kdrama series always shows bullying scenes especially on school setting and seems like normal for them
Cant help it, bcs those bully are rich.. yknow money control SK, they live in their own small world, even can see how they control their idols no? With money.
This is so true..for me it is a psycopath education.. I am very sorry to say, but i only know 1 of 4 korean that are normal.. 3 of them are collague and all of them just bullied me since they were my employer supplier and customer.. They easily said lies about me to my boss.. But fortunately i always CC my manager about any correspondences..so my boss knew it is not me, but they were crazy people..they feel entitled since i am younger than them and a woman, while they are men..they thought all people around the world just as psycopathic as them and easily did evil things in international trade..so that's why i hardly respect south korean.. I saw many cases also koreans love to discriminate and bully southeast asian people.. Very unethical country for my personal opinion..no surprise since the education system just a psycopathic education system..
I don't understand how repeated torture can be dismissed as bullying. My heart goes out to the victim and the other 3 innocent girls that were falsely accused.
@Natsuki kannado what you think you are “quirky” lmao y’all say this stuff online and think you are tough but if someone actually burnt you and actually hurt you and didn’t stop, you would be crying like a little baby. You’re not special you’re a typical “edge lord” 😐
Bullying is terrible I got bullied from 4th grade to middle school, at first it was teasing and insult and then it moved to pushing me down the stair, cutting my hair, taking my beg/supplies locking me in a room, breaking my instrument. I used to be very cheerful as kid but after the bullying I have developed social anxiety which still persists to this day and I’m 25 now, I remember my extreme anxiety literally made me develop selective mutism. I never been able to make friends to this day cause I’m always anxious.
hella anxious almost 25y.o. here. i found my best friend by some weird accident when i acted not like myself for some reason. she is the only one who stayed with me. you'll find that kind of person who will be by your side no matter what and they will feel like home (if you didn't already). at least that does get better, just more time needed
Though verbal only. I am a cheerful kid also until I went into highschool. Its not extreme bullying but that made hard to communicate to people. Then the funny part is those who bullied is living life being glory and holy like they ain't a shitty person and it didn't happen while we live on. We got trauma and they're sleeping peacefully at night like ugh how cute lol
Been bullied all my life even in workplace. I tried to ignore them but it became worst. I tried to fight but still the same. The hell with these people!!!
@@6nomemory6 It's heartbreaking that the people around them (like their classmates) don't react when these bullies are being made. I usually defend or protect the person being bullied when I see a situation like this, but I was shocked to see what people were saying in the comments
South Korean law really need to take serious action towards bullyings. It seems like they always turn a blind eye towards bullyings and rape cases. I hope citizens would do something so that the law will take some action.
Sk got a law there say it ok to disciplin younger people for beeing a brat. That how the military an all addication is bult up. And you are asking why..
I was a victim for 6 years and it happens every day. It happens during class and outside of school. The people in class pretended not to notice. even the teachers ignored me. I already reported to my parents that I didn't want to go to school, but I also received punishment from them. I still wonder what I have done wrong to them. unfortunately, I still have nightmares every night even though it's been 17 years.
Im so sorry to hear, you had to go through all of that 😔❤️ This is so disgustingly wrong! I’m sending you lots of love! I hope the wounds on your soul can heal one day ❤️
I'm sorry to hear what happened to you and I hope you will be healed soon. Though you cant undo the past nor exact revenge, but I believe they will have their own "due" too.
In Germany bullying is take much more seriously,because it is reflected on to the school’s general image. The kids are taught to speak up no matter what.
There's one notorious bully case in my country, Malaysia (in 2017) that resulted in the demise of the victim. A few perpetrators burned him using a clothes iron, and about 90 burn marks were found all over his body according to the autopsy. I can't imagine the pain the victim had to go through until his last breath. The perpetrators were sentenced to jail for 18 years
This is a very touchy and sensitive subject especially as the perpetrators are teens or underage. What is missing is the schools'/institutions' sense of responsibility when such crimes (they should be called that) occur in their student population, instead of hiding it away or sweeping it under the rug for fear of "losing face." I fear this is a worldwide situation that calls for government intervention through laws that protect bullied students and reform the perpetrators so they will have a deeper understanding of their violent actions. Bullying is a symptom and the cause needs to be identified. We don't know if one of these bullies will, in the future, turn out to be a serial murderer or abuser or something else more horrific, so early detection via behavioral observation is a good approach to study who these bullies are and why they do the things they do. This is another great video. Thank you so, so much, Megan and team.
I’ve been a victim of bullying when i was in middle school as well. I endured that for a whole year without saying anything. Actually, my grandmother was the one who noticed just by my demeanor changing over time. And even then i still didn’t say anything. I got lucky because my grandmother raised all kinds of heII with the school and the bus i rode on(which is where all the bullying happened). I say i got lucky because the school actually took it seriously and ordered for 3 of the 4 girls to be banned from having any contact with me while they got monitored. And the 1 out of the 4 girls got expelled for threatening and abusing me everyday for that school year. Also: I’ve used a curling iron and flat iron and barely hit a my finger a couple times while using them and winced in pain for like 20min. I couldn’t imagine what this poor girl went through having the actual plates fully pressed onto her skin at the highest temp, on top of all the other injuries she’s endured from torture she went through. Victims like this girl are strong af for even going through that, especially if they survive and still manage to live on. I know the ptsd is unimaginable for victims like this poor girl.
Where are the parents and teachers for the whole 20 days? South Korea is really shocking and their schools really don't seem like a place to send a child honestly. And the worst part is that apparently bullying is very normal there 🙄
There was a poll in 2012 conducted by the South Korean Ministry of Education, asking a total of approx. 1 mil students from elementary, middle and high school (iirc) if they had ever been bullied. Keep in mind that in Korean, the word "bullying" includes the use of violence, which isn't necessarily the case in English. Close to 10% of the students answered that they had experienced bullying at least once.
This is just borderline Psychotic. How did things come to this? This breaks my heart. That poor girl is forever traumatized, and all her abusers got was a light slap on the wrist. How can you do this to someone? Did those girls not have a heart? Were they so pathetically miserable that they had to take it out on a poor, innocent child?? I don't understand how someone can be so, so cruel... How do you live with that? How do you grow old, knowing you've done something so horrible to someone. How do you live with yourself? How do you not feel guilty? How??? Just HOW???
The names of the perpretators should be made public in such cases, it's sad they're protected by law. Even without a criminal record, being publicly shamed/disgraced for teenagers can be enough to prevent stuff.
i really want to tell all of the victims to always leave your phone on record and bring it with them when the violence (because thats what it is) occurs. i myself and a couple of my friends have been through bullying and when the teachers see me cry or hear my friend complain to them about the bullying, theyll just go "oh try taking up karate for your anger issues!" as if we're the ones with the problem and not the bullies. These kids need solid proof to report things and even then, with solid proof in hand, theyre not believed
always. proof and documentation. and try to be factual and detailed even if you're understandably emotional. people tend to dismiss someone seeming emotional and treat them unfairly.
@@mauvehawaiiI hate to say it but sometimes the authorities don’t care about recordings either. My mom survived domestic violence and had recordings of her getting assaulted by my dad. The police really said that there was no proof that it was my dad in the audio and that it could be someone that sounds like it. To this day it sounds like they just didn’t care
I don't know... when I was in first grade my teacher saw how I was being bullied and she told me that I have to get over it and stop being a crybaby... that was the last time I told anyone that I was being bullied... not because it had stopped but because I was afraid of hearing those words again :/
i can’t even begin to imagine what the victim felt during that time. i’m aware of how dark the world is, but i still can’t even fathom the thought of doing that to someone or how someone can do something so sickening like this
Only arrogant and bad people will bully I been bullied when I was in pre school for being fat , poor a half korean but the way this girl have been bullied is just so sad I literally cried when I hear her story
Exactly like India is so so much better in this case. Ofc bullying happens everywhere but I don't understand why it's so severe and common in South Korea?
Its horrible how little punishment bullies get. Those in this story should definitely have gone to jail. Seems like they get off lighter just because it happened in a school. I got bullied myself at 14-16 years old and I am 28 now and still struggle alot from it. The bullies ruined my life. Meanwhile they just walk free as if nothing happened and are successful in their own lives. It pisses me off.
As someone who is not from Korea, I have mostly come across stories about school bullying in kdramas. Initially I thought they were exaggerating to make the kdramas more dramatic but as I continued knowing Korean news through kpop or kdramas, being part of fandoms & coming across horrific news about school bullying it became real to me just how much this happens in Korea & how little repercussion are faced by the perpetrators. I also want to add that in most Asian communities, society views education as the top most priority in terms of having a good student record. The fact that many of the bullying cases are tried to be pled with the reasoning that this will impact the perpetrator's student record or chance at college admission baffles me and disgust me thinking what kinda society & environment are we creating where perpetrators can get away with their horrific acts cuz they know it will be their "first offence" or "the court/board/adults will let me go cuz they don't want my student record to be impacted"
i thought that this kind of bullying happens in dramas only but this is the one of the horrifical case i have seen . the bullies are living a perfect life after making a life hell . South Korea really needs to look at the student board and punish the criminals severely.
The thought that the perpetrators are living a normal life with people around them having little to no idea about what they did in the past while that girl is still suffering from memories and scars of that incident angers me to the core. As a person from a country where school bullying cases are extremely rare, I cannot, for my life, think of how the thoughts of torturing someone even cross a minor's mind, like how fucked up do you have to be to even think of that let alone carry it out irl
The way you tell all these stories is absolutely amazing, no one else can tell them the way you do!! ❤️ I eagerly wait for you videos 🤧 really appreciate your hard work !!! Love you!
Korea is one of the country I'd visited with unkind people... I remember we were just walking on the street and train station and they will push you because they want to pass by you, instead of saying excuse me or walk beside you and avoid having a physical contact... another experience we had was, we were in the grocery store, and the girl arranging the items in the shelf pushed our cart because she's piling up their stocks and our cart was blocking the shelf... another one was, we were looking around in the stores, and we saw a cute pants, and lifted it to check it clearly in the light, the guy in the store grabbed it in my hand and put it back to the hanger... that was so rude... even my sister attested that Koreans are like that. She's been living in Korea for over 5 years now.
I was also a victim of bullying in highschool but I always fought back. Good thing is the severity of the bullying is not like this, just more on verbal. but still it affects me having a low self esteem in my adult years
I was bullied all my life, even at work. nothing this serious but I can't remember clearly so many things that I think I developed a defensive amnesia, even once, one person apologized to me for something she did to me that she regret a lot and I don't remember that at all. I wish that the victims were able to forget too but they have marks so deep in her body as in their mind that I find it hard to happen, bullies need to be accountable for their horrific acts in a real way and the families of the bullies need to be investigated
I spent my entire middle school career being mercilessly bullied by the same girls, and more often than not, I was the one getting in trouble because God forbid I get upset about the fact I'm being terrorized. I ran home from school specifically because I was afraid of physical retaliation. Cases like this make me so angry, it always ends up feeling like there's no justice to be had.
Yes, they punish more the víctim for reacting from the abuse than the abusers and school Will always try to gaslihht You int being the better part and ignore .... Worse excuse EVER, cuz bullies Will continue and excale the abuse
Why don't you make your parents drive next to these hoars and loudy ask them why they do not let their child alone several times while following them around with a car
As a person who had being bullied because of misunderstanding, getting beaten and get push the mop into my face, it's really frustrating and unforgettable about the past that they did to me. It's been 16years since the case back in highschool and they have their living-like-a-queen vibes while I'm suffering to lack of confidence, overthinking about someone thoughts and depression. The bullies needs the real lesson a.k.a jail to make them realize about what they did, not just being counseling by the teachers or get in community service. The justice needs to be prevail so that the bullies will stop do the bad thing to other people
I agree, I'm sorry you suffered and got bullied and that you have left scars.I don't know if you believe or not but do you mind if I share something with you?
the one reason why im so into true crime cases is because the abuser is almost always met with justice. This story as well as thousands of other ones in South Korea make me feel terrible for how little they’re punished. I hope South Koreans actually speak up about it and change it for good. Bullying isn’t going to benefit the bully but it will scar the victim FOR LIFE. And incase you didnt know, we only have one life. i hate how that poor girl had to have her one life ruined by others for no apparent reason. Imagine how painful it would have been mentally AND physically to get tortured (not even a quick death) for fucking days. PLEASE, South Korea. If you see this, GET. YOUR. BULLYING. UNDER. CONTROL. PLEASE.
This goes way beyond bullying. This is savage and sadistic torture. The people who commit these crimes should be locked up for many years and I'm talking about not just the ones who inflict the pain but everyone who stands around and watches without taking any action to stop it. Every school has bullies but bullies rule by fear and intimidation. The perpetrators depicted in "The Glory" are monsters. That includes the school administrator who slaps the victim around after she reports the incident.
Kids are really terrifying it's crazy how you can actually torture other people but have no consequences. How is that any different than any other criminal or abuser? Those kids should be in juvie
Thank you for spreading awareness about the horrific bullying. The punishment needs to fit the crime. The bullies should be dealt with harsher. I’m Mongolian and the story in Busan breaks my heart. I hope karma gets back to those that think it’s ok to treat their peers like this.
school bullying is a serious offence because of the mental trauma that comes along with it, and seeing jung's condition broke my heart. it just shows that people should take this seriously as the bullies may grow up and do even more heinous crimes.
Damn, in my school a girl just go slapped in the face and the person who slapped her on the face got expelled. It shows how South Korea really doesn’t about its children.
It is honestly heartbreaking to hear about such incidents, I am glad that I have never heard or see an incident like this from my school and I truly hope there wont be any.
All I can say is this: Why? Just WHY?! This breaks my heart just from hearing this. My heart goes to the victim and the victim's family. This is scary, horrible, and unjust. Those students who bullied the victim should be rotting in prison, not walking. THIS is horrible.
If no action is taken against such bullies, the bullying will only worsen. It's unbelievable how this type of psychotic behavior goes unnoticed/overlooked
Well that's just lovely. I lived and worked in Cheongju from 2008 - 2010. I taught licensed Korean-English public school teachers, and yes, student behavior often came up. I never heard this story.
It was crazy and sad enough to see it happen in the K-drama, but for it to happen in real life is really terrifying. I feel so bad for the girl who had to suffer through that. I hope she’s doing better :(
Her abusers will probably be living as mothers, wives, and good friends to those around her ......I hope they watched everything and keep in mind they also have...if they have, children who probably they want to protect ,,.... just imagine if their names would be known by everyone and some other abusers bullied their children ........ just KARMA... living in fear NOW for their own children ..... and probably their own reputation
Bullying is quite common shown in Kdramas. It's art mimicking rela life. Why is bullying so prevalent and sever in Korea though? It isn't just bullying but it is downright criminal assault
As a student who studies in India, I dont think we have very huge cases of school bullying here. I had a friend who got bullied but the maximum was all class teasing her and insulting her never beyond. Nevertheless, I was new to the school when i saw all this happen for the first time. I was 9 years old in 5th grade. As I was new to the school, I felt bad for her so tried to be her friend. There was this girl, who was literally was behind me every time during dispersal all along the way she would try to persuade me and tell me how i should not be friends with her. I knew she was wrong. The girl they all bullied was literally so sweet. I mean whenever someone forgot to bring something to the class and even when their friends wouldnt share their stuff, they went to her and she always gave. The other times she would be treated as if she was some untouchable and no one would touch her or her stuff. We were all merely 5th graders. Then i finally made friends in my new class and now i had a group of 4. In the whole class we treated her best compared to others. But we didnt treat her good otherwise. The other children had influenced us, they would taunt us for talking to her and being friends with her. And back then it kinda seemed cool to everyone to bully her. Sometimes, we behaved the same then we would feel guilty and stop. But the cycle continued of behaving that way then feeling guilty then treating her nice. Now 5 years after, I've lost contact with 2 people from that group and one is my best friend. We sometimes discuss how it was all fucked up. And I actually end up crying sometimes how i was so terrible. I could have been better but why did i want to be like others even when i knew they were wrong. This is something i regret for life. I made sure I never lose conact with her cause someday I wanna meet her again and apologise. Whenever someone would ask her she would tell them I and my group are best friends. She thought we were good to her but we were only better to her otherwise still worst. I hope she is in a much more better place now. Even back then amidst all of this bullying, She was the strongest. She always seemed happy and smiled. Whenever we talked to her she was so enthusiastic. Even when many teachers try to shut her down or did not behave well with her still she tried to particiapate as much as she could - in class discussions, in competitons etc. She is my motivation during hard times now. I even remember how happy she was when i invited her to my birthday cause it was her first time attending someone's birthday from school.
There is hindu bullied a muslim girl because she wears scarf/hijab 😒 forget school, india know for it corruption from police to modi, killing, raping, bulling muslims, i think you should talk about that.
Poor girl. I cant imagine the trauma she went through after that And how her family felt after knowing. School should be our 2nd home but turns out not because of those bullies. Teachers and principals should take more serious actions to this. I hope she's doing fine now.
I was studying while listening and when i heart Mongolian my heart just skipped a beat because im Mongolian. It truly is terrifying to know that there is a lot of people who keep silent about their opinions and what they feel. That poor girl...oh how brutal:( i wish all the victims the best and hope they get better soon.
There needs to be a petition to bring their names out and punish them even though it was a long time ago…. If idols loose their careers over bullying cases so can these monsters
this is just pure bloody crime. i often associated bullying term with something that happens among immature teens... but THIS IS A REAL CRIME. Just imagine a kidnapper doing just the same things as listed in this video, and compare the mindset. these bullies are literally the worst minded.
I don't believe that the teacher and classmates didn't notice anything... Liars,,, all of them are guilty. Poor girl, I feel so sorry for her. I hope those bullies would never be happy, it is horrific to imagine them as a mother, wish they stayed in jail their whole life
Kind of reminded me when i once asked a friend who used to live in SK if bullying is that bad, she confirms it too from experience. She stated how you had little to zero chance of protection if the bullies are influential or rich whose parents have strong connections, making the school admins side with the bullies instead.
It is a really great video you did, thank you very much! 🤗 I really like how you are retelling these cases with your calm manner/voice. It really draws someone in. Bullying is a terrible problem around the world. Especially when it gets unnoticed. I mean, yeah, some bullies have themselves problem they can't deal with (abuse, hard life, etc...) and putting it on others, but this is no excuse to harm someone else in any kind of way. One of my classmates bullied me too over years. Very intelligent man, who lost his parents in a young age, which is sad, but no excuse to treat me poorly. It is hard for me sometimes, bc I started to mistrust people they could hurt me. Sadly, at work, we have also people who have tendencies to go in that direction... But I found my way to deal with it. We really need harsher punishments for bullies, so they see, they can't continue with this and that people are suffering. It is sad, that Karma isn't coming back to them so easily.
@@6nomemory6 That people are bullying others bc they are bored or lonely is an aspect, which is shocking me everytime. I mean, they have a stable life - probably not enough emotional caring of their parents, but this is still no reason or excuse. I really feel your pain; especially as someone who had never done something wrong in life and just wanted to do the own thing… They seem especially like to bully the quiet ones. And the ones who are „strange“ to them (just bc someone doesn‘t fit in the „normal“ image of a teenager… But what is even „normal“?) I am glad, that you protect the weaker ones and got stronger. It is sad that they are often left alone, so it is good, that there are still people who are helping the bullied ones. And I agree - they have to learn that there are borders they shouldn‘t cross and it is wrong what they are doing. Please take care of yourself and stay strong - I wish you all the best in the world!
The writer of The Glory, Kim Eun Sook definitely researched bullying cases and decided to base it off the curling iron Cheongju case. In an interview she said the drama was just a work of fiction based on conversations with her daughter, but I don't believe it one bit. It sucks that she's not being honest about where the inspiration of the drama really came from. It seems like she wants to take all the credit for coming up with something that was not 100% an original idea but a true story.
That honestly sucks. She is earning off of somebody's absolute worst nightmares and hundreds and thousands who undergo the same thing. Honestly, it's no better than a slap on the wrist that the actual cases' perpetrators faced. Had the actual case, whatever it may have been, credited, those bullies from the real thing could remember what they did to someone and have had just one sleepless night if not many. They didn't suffer and no matter how young or first or second their crimes were, they should have faced punishments on par with a regular criminal. Honestly, S Korean society needs to get its shit together. They are taking things too lightly in a whole lot of cases and sooner or later, it's all gonna blow back up in their faces. Bullies or perverts or creeps don't change that easily, let alone with a mere slap on the wrist.
Bullies from elite family backgrounds in Korea usually get a free pass for their crimes. The young actress who committed suicide to escape her wealthy and prominent rapists never received due justice because the cops and government are owned by these evil people.
I don't think she can claim it to be based on real cases because the legality will be murky, not just for the victim but also the perpetrators, people will speculate and try to link the drama to real life cases. The problem is the real case has so little information to be a drama and they may not consent while the drama has a lot of personal detail. Therefore, the only way movie/drama/fiction can claim that they come from true story is when they get all the details correct to avoid misunderstanding and also someone directly involved to give them their perspective. The perpetrators from Cheongju case also do not get their name out publicly because they are a minor. She may not based the whole things of that case, she may want to have story about the bullying awareness and have the same scene with Cheongju case but saying that based it on that case will murky the reality in the real case, can send unwanted attention to people involved, including the victim and open defamation lawsuit for the whole production team. She brought this as fiction because everyone in SK understand that this is real phenomenon, bullying is severe without having the "realism tag" and with "fiction tag" the drama can be made without endangering the production team. The things that connect the glory and Cheongju case is mostly in weapon to hurts but the backstory of character in the glory is not similar to the case. How will they respond if the victim felt like they was defamed as the "adult perpetrators" because of this drama?? Remember that the glory is not just about how tragic the abuse but also about a victim that do all sort of illegal and legal things to get back on the perpetrators. How about the parents that just non existent in the drama but was supporting in rea life? How should they respond if other people from the Cheongju class or even from the same school but unrelated to the incident got harassed because this drama showed many perpetrators? This is not just cut and dry situation for credit related, this involved real people with their life, not everyone want to be the centre of attention. With the drama being tag as fiction, people start find out real bullying case and raise the awareness because they all know this stuff is happening around them.
Bullying started at 2½ years old for me & my brother, we would be at the farm and the cousins would come up to us and one of them would tie rope around our necks, while my dad would get threatened with a pitchfork. The second eldest would try to hit me with a metal pole. Then bullying would carry on through infant school to junior school to college.. it was exhausting! people don't get how all this shit can leave mental scars behind, I'm still cautious about people now..
I'm glad to come across your videos....we won't be able to know about the cases that you deliver to us. Thank you for your great effort and time to make this happen 👍 👏 will wait for your videos always 😊
Being no serious help, the authority shouldn't trust now. How could a student tells what happened when they aren't listening??? How could they tell them if they dont believe it??
What's the worse is the bullies never apologies properly for what they did . Heaven only knows that Karma exist or not . I had been bullied and now I can't believe anyone easily. It's been 3 years yet it feels like it happened yesterday and it's scary.
Karma is real, really ı mean ıt By putting yourself in this bad situation right now, you are doing what they want from you. So against them and people like them,try to be a very strong, confident person who doesn't seem to care about anything such people do.(you can do ıt,ı trust you) You deserve to be happy, don't let scumbag people like them extinguish the happiness of a wonderful person like you. I hope you always find good things in your life.☺
Bullying is horrible everywhere, but I've heard that bullying in Asian countries, specifically Korea and Japan, is a whole 'nother flavour of fucked up. So many horrible stories of bullying because people like this can get away with it... laws really need to change in places like this, what a horrific story.
I can't imagine how bullies sleep peacefully while the victim suffered day and night until she grow ups. She deserve justice!!! whyyyy their governments did not take actions to reduce this kind of bullying. Its not just bullying its a physical assault.
Its not only the bullies it also depends the parents of the bullies to supervise their kids and give them time and good preaches to make them a good healthy and bright individual to avoid such conflicts and spend a healthy life . Also the victims parents to talk to their kids and learn about them as a good friend so that they wont get into these kind of tragic situations
That's brutal, I'm a victim of bullying (it's still going on) but for me it's mostly saying stupid and mean stuff, sometimes physical too. This is a lot for me and I can't imagine experiencing that
Bullying is a whole nightmare for victims! Imagine you have been bullying for almost a month, and no sign tries to help u... This is literally a disaster!!! 🤦🏻♀️...
the way you compile everything and tell it in a way which is very apt is really amazing. horrible to know such things happen..dont those humans have a conciense?
It's disgusting to think that most 'bullies' don't even get arrested for the abuse they did to the victims and their actions don't leave a criminal record????? That is super unfair for the victims because of how much they have suffered. I personally first encountered South Korea's bullying cases when I was reading a webtoon and I didn't actually know that it was THAT severe :( it's sad to think that the victims don't talk to their parents and teachers probably because their scared.
How come the parents never observed it, to think of that the abuse continued for 20 days and the parents didn't notice it all raises serious questions.
Growing up in poverty & in the streets… I learned quickly how to protect & defend myself. I grew up “hardened” inside out that I would NEVER in a million years allow this to happen to me without a flght to the death. I wouldn’t even care what consequences await, all I know is I would be squaring up… ready for ANYTHING. Hearing about this just enrages me and why I have all my kids go through rigorous training on MMA & self defense. Ain’t no kid or group of buIIies runnin’ up on mine. PeriodT.

School Is a place where children go to learn moral things but, it turned out to be a biggest life threat. There should be some strict laws against this so, that bullies cannot even think to bully someone
moral teachings are hardly taught the school curriculum focuses on the provided syllabus and often ignores moral teachings saying it's not part of their job until it affects the staff I remember during the last week of my 10th grade as it was the last week of school and students would be moving to colleges from the 11th grade it is like a ritual to write on each other's shirt goodbye messages and stuff and this has been happening for years but this time the principal was angry for some reason because some kids wrote swear words on each other's shirt in a friendly way no bullying but the principal slapped the kids who wrote it in the school assembly and not just once like a five-time at least but the following day a fight broke out between some boys and one boy became blind in one eye because of how badly he was punched but the school completely ignored like t didn't happen....we all could see the hypocrisy of our school and it's not the first time something like this happened
Not only in korea but there are so many cases of bullying overseas ..but I don't understand why do they even bully? ...and the bullies especially the richer ones are always free to escape anytime but not the one who faced that?...then what are the government and laws doing..I am not understanding
This really is one of the dark sides of South Korea. Kudos to the entertainment industry for putting light on to these issues, and will serve as a warning to the other bullies. Parents of these bullies are responsible for their kids' actions, and should be punished too.
There are bullies everywhere in the world and they all mostly go unpunished. School bullies, classmate bullies, husband bullies, teacher bullies, playground bullies, work colleague bullies, sibbling bullies
Ive just seen “The Glory” on netflix and was so horrified on how the bullying was,but much more horrfiying learning there are much worse thant that…i was bullied on my elementary days but i fought them back and they stop..
*they almost kill someone* The justice: let them be, it's their first offense It's not like they stole a chupa chups, they knew what they were doing when they were torturing that girl
That's not just bullying that's freaking physical assault, how can humans be this worse and just 16, 17 years old? This is heartbreaking I hope this girl is now living a better life
They are brought up by people who are even worse. They learn it at home
@@shubhashrichoudhury7266 Not always, kids can be raised by the most amazing and loving parents and still end up like this, some are born evil
@@shubhashrichoudhury7266 no most of them childern, are brought up by rich or over protective parents. That defends their child everytime they do something wrong or pay it off so they never get in trouble.
U can find parents like this anywhere but this is also the main reason Korea bullying is the worse and why it's come this far.
Usually the ones with bad parental situations or home situations are the ones bullied, because family status is important over there.
They clearly have psychological issues and personality disorders and needs psychiatric treatment.
@@cokser High schoolers are not children and it's not always the case, there are those who do bullying just for their own pleasure and they are in their teens, they knew what's right or wrong but because of their high status of course they are not scared. Let's just say parents have faults but it's still up to them whether who they will become and even someone who came from a loving family could end as evil as they could be.
Why is bullying not taken more seriously in Korea??? These are literally borderline murders, the victims could easily die from shock :(
schools often try to hide such incidents to not ruin their reputation and the teachers mostly don't care about such things
Reading a lot of the knetz (Korean netizens) comments, the law for children/teenagers is lenient considering they're still underage. So no matter how cruel or disgusting the crime is, they are still given lower sentences. Koreans are also angry with how lenient their law is towards crimes like this including sex crimes. I've read multiple cases of bullying that will make anyone want to puke, and the culprits were still living free and happy
Koreans don’t even like their laws :( i remember when the burning suns scandal happened and all the perpetrators were given short sentences i saw comments of koreans saying things like: “omg now everyone knows that koreas justice system is trash!”
I don’t know if this is already a social issue (I haven’t looked into it) but I’m sure the gov’t is going to complain about “low birth rates.” Why would anyone want to bring a child into a work where they won’t be protected.
I also read a lot of comments from other videos like this saying that most teachers are afraid of the parents (as most of the bullies come from rich families). Apparently what we see in kdramas are downplayed versions of real life scenarios. Imagine the horror 🥲
I read an article about people who work with bullying cases in Korea and they said it’ even worse than it is in the drama.
I feel so bad for the poor victims and so angry at the school administrators who don’t give a damn about the kids put into their care.
Yeahh I heard about it from a tiktok too
Well school doesn't want lost the students who give them biggest donations , school doesn't care if they are student or criminal
Drama is often better than real life, since victims can get happy endings and perpetrators can get harsh punishment.
this is crazy.. I don't understand how their parents raise them. But no excuse its also the parents fault who have no idea on what's going on with their kids and if they're growing to the right path or not. Parenting knowledge plays an important role here. that is why its so tricky for us to know those who are actually eligible mentally and financially to get married.
@@stefanijovita1640 actually this drama just trying to open the victims mind which currently trap in this situation to take action and be brave to stands up for herself. i wish this drama delivered well to those who are parents now to mitigate the continuity of bullying within school. and pay more attention to their children.
The actual girl who got bullied in 2006 with a hair straightener recently came out on a TV show to talk about her experience and to seek revenge. It was so heartbreaking to see such a sweet girl having to go through such a horrible experience.
Where can I watch this?
Up
Where can i watch that
where can I watch that interview?
Where can i watch it?
If the punishment for their first offense leaves no record, and they go on to commit another crime, it sounds like that crime could be excused again as a "first offense", as there would be no record of the prior offense?!
That is really scary..
Bullying perpretators should be tried as an adult
@@ギオ5508that’s not just bullying tho. It’s literally physical assault! And isn’t torture a heinous crime? It’s really scary how the things done to the victims are downplayed as just “bullying”.
They should make harsher punishments not just a slap on the wrist. Expulsion is nothing it's barely even a punishment, but maybe several years in a juvenile facility would teach them a lesson.
@@mysticloverfairy1 In Korea, minors are often forgiven or given very light sentences even if they're found guilty for serious criminal charges like murder. Korean Law System is way too easy on school bullies, sexual harassment or dating violence and more but they're very harsh for drug abuse.
These things are difficult to find a punishment because they bully people which can leave emotional scars,trauma,ect but others could argue they are teens children young adults even and should be given nothing other then detention since they haven’t reached the “maturity” of a adult
Although I believe depending on the situation we should bring police into this a short jail period if its very bad (rape, abuse ect) and would have maybe a criminal record despite not being an adult? Anyways these things are hard but my teacher always told me to be sympathetic to everyone even such crimes understand both sides Was she forced to bully? Was this a result of unresolved trauma? Did she/he mean it on purpose?
I honestly don't understand how one human could do this to another and sleep peacefully in the night while the victim has to suffer every day with those horrible memories.
your channel is sooo good , i love the fact how you explain everything in depth and interestingly. hope your channel goes big
I could understand. Not really understanding the reason for them to do it, but I understand that humans can be cruel as hell for no reason
Well, they are children and do not think about the consequences and maybe were never told no by their parents, or the oposite, they were abused or whatever at home.
I hope they sleep bad and have at least some remorse.
To be honest, the girls in Asia are different from the girls in North America. Bullying there is really bad compared to North America.
@@AAA-hz7fh not really . Bullying is really bad in Asia too. I think it's just Korea thing
I believe in one philosophy that small-weak people looking for smaller-weaker people and oppressing them (bullying them) so they can feel confidence not the weakest in this world, so wrong but in the end many people still doing that.
Im sorry but SK government are so dumb... school violence jumping from 30% to 40% only shows how lenient the law is. No one is afraid to do this bec they know that they will not be punished. It's disgusting. Instead of being concern and prioritizing the victims, they are more concern on how a criminal record might affect the perpetrators.
It seems like they are more concerned about the perpetrator😱 I'm a fan of kdramas and this kdrama series always shows bullying scenes especially on school setting and seems like normal for them
This is a worrying scenario in a lot countries too
One thing I dont fully even understand is that some even censor the faces of criminal on news like whaatt???? Or let em wear face mask or hoddie
Cant help it, bcs those bully are rich.. yknow money control SK, they live in their own small world, even can see how they control their idols no? With money.
This is so true..for me it is a psycopath education..
I am very sorry to say, but i only know 1 of 4 korean that are normal..
3 of them are collague and all of them just bullied me since they were my employer supplier and customer..
They easily said lies about me to my boss..
But fortunately i always CC my manager about any correspondences..so my boss knew it is not me, but they were crazy people..they feel entitled since i am younger than them and a woman, while they are men..they thought all people around the world just as psycopathic as them and easily did evil things in international trade..so that's why i hardly respect south korean..
I saw many cases also koreans love to discriminate and bully southeast asian people..
Very unethical country for my personal opinion..no surprise since the education system just a psycopathic education system..
I don't understand how repeated torture can be dismissed as bullying. My heart goes out to the victim and the other 3 innocent girls that were falsely accused.
This is honestly terrible, I can’t imagine how the poor girl felt.
Same~ Why would they do this? Just WHY?!

Bullying is terrible I got bullied from 4th grade to middle school, at first it was teasing and insult and then it moved to pushing me down the stair, cutting my hair, taking my beg/supplies locking me in a room, breaking my instrument. I used to be very cheerful as kid but after the bullying I have developed social anxiety which still persists to this day and I’m 25 now, I remember my extreme anxiety literally made me develop selective mutism. I never been able to make friends to this day cause I’m always anxious.
hella anxious almost 25y.o. here. i found my best friend by some weird accident when i acted not like myself for some reason. she is the only one who stayed with me. you'll find that kind of person who will be by your side no matter what and they will feel like home (if you didn't already). at least that does get better, just more time needed
Though verbal only. I am a cheerful kid also until I went into highschool. Its not extreme bullying but that made hard to communicate to people. Then the funny part is those who bullied is living life being glory and holy like they ain't a shitty person and it didn't happen while we live on. We got trauma and they're sleeping peacefully at night like ugh how cute lol
Been bullied all my life even in workplace. I tried to ignore them but it became worst. I tried to fight but still the same. The hell with these people!!!
@@eunhasab3535 just don't let it get to you, try to find their weakness, and use it whenever they start teasing you
@@6nomemory6 It's heartbreaking that the people around them (like their classmates) don't react when these bullies are being made.
I usually defend or protect the person being bullied when I see a situation like this, but I was shocked to see what people were saying in the comments
South Korean law really need to take serious action towards bullyings. It seems like they always turn a blind eye towards bullyings and rape cases. I hope citizens would do something so that the law will take some action.
Correct!
It's a lose lose situation when perpetrator can buy their way out. It's the corrupted people who serve the justice system that need to be replace.
@@Emyrtemoc It's true we all live in a corrupted society. There's no way out.
Sk got a law there say it ok to disciplin younger people for beeing a brat. That how the military an all addication is bult up. And you are asking why..
I was a victim for 6 years and it happens every day. It happens during class and outside of school. The people in class pretended not to notice. even the teachers ignored me. I already reported to my parents that I didn't want to go to school, but I also received punishment from them. I still wonder what I have done wrong to them. unfortunately, I still have nightmares every night even though it's been 17 years.
Im so sorry to hear, you had to go through all of that 😔❤️ This is so disgustingly wrong! I’m sending you lots of love! I hope the wounds on your soul can heal one day ❤️
No one should go through that.
I'm sorry to hear what happened to you and I hope you will be healed soon. Though you cant undo the past nor exact revenge, but I believe they will have their own "due" too.
🫂
im so sorry you had to go through that. :( i hope you feel better soon❤❤
In Germany bullying is take much more seriously,because it is reflected on to the school’s general image. The kids are taught to speak up no matter what.
There's one notorious bully case in my country, Malaysia (in 2017) that resulted in the demise of the victim. A few perpetrators burned him using a clothes iron, and about 90 burn marks were found all over his body according to the autopsy. I can't imagine the pain the victim had to go through until his last breath. The perpetrators were sentenced to jail for 18 years
They killed a person the sentenced should be lifetime, nothing less.
We cheer
This is a very touchy and sensitive subject especially as the perpetrators are teens or underage. What is missing is the schools'/institutions' sense of responsibility when such crimes (they should be called that) occur in their student population, instead of hiding it away or sweeping it under the rug for fear of "losing face."
I fear this is a worldwide situation that calls for government intervention through laws that protect bullied students and reform the perpetrators so they will have a deeper understanding of their violent actions. Bullying is a symptom and the cause needs to be identified. We don't know if one of these bullies will, in the future, turn out to be a serial murderer or abuser or something else more horrific, so early detection via behavioral observation is a good approach to study who these bullies are and why they do the things they do.
This is another great video. Thank you so, so much, Megan and team.
I’ve been a victim of bullying when i was in middle school as well. I endured that for a whole year without saying anything. Actually, my grandmother was the one who noticed just by my demeanor changing over time. And even then i still didn’t say anything. I got lucky because my grandmother raised all kinds of heII with the school and the bus i rode on(which is where all the bullying happened). I say i got lucky because the school actually took it seriously and ordered for 3 of the 4 girls to be banned from having any contact with me while they got monitored. And the 1 out of the 4 girls got expelled for threatening and abusing me everyday for that school year.
Also: I’ve used a curling iron and flat iron and barely hit a my finger a couple times while using them and winced in pain for like 20min. I couldn’t imagine what this poor girl went through having the actual plates fully pressed onto her skin at the highest temp, on top of all the other injuries she’s endured from torture she went through. Victims like this girl are strong af for even going through that, especially if they survive and still manage to live on. I know the ptsd is unimaginable for victims like this poor girl.
Hope you are doing well
Hey I hope you are in a better place now and have a support system to rely. More power to sharing your story here and being vulnerable with us🙏🙏
I am so sorry this happened to you, love. I hope you are in a better place now. I wish you happiness and all the healing in the world❤.

I hope you are doing Well Friend 💙💙💙💙
Where are the parents and teachers for the whole 20 days? South Korea is really shocking and their schools really don't seem like a place to send a child honestly. And the worst part is that apparently bullying is very normal there 🙄
FR LIKE HOW TF U GONNA CONVIENTLY NOT BE AROUND WHEN THIS HAPPENS and it's FRICKIN beyond me how they got of so light
Tysm for likes
I have heard stories about foreign teachers getting bullied by their students in South Korea schools and no body can do anything about it.
@@morningcoffee2471 HUH??????? oh hell nah, that's crazy. I could never let myself get bullied like that
There was a poll in 2012 conducted by the South Korean Ministry of Education, asking a total of approx. 1 mil students from elementary, middle and high school (iirc) if they had ever been bullied. Keep in mind that in Korean, the word "bullying" includes the use of violence, which isn't necessarily the case in English.
Close to 10% of the students answered that they had experienced bullying at least once.
That’s true. Visit Korea and you’ll find out. They’re not nice especially to tourists. Japan is way way better and more discoplined.
This is just borderline Psychotic. How did things come to this? This breaks my heart. That poor girl is forever traumatized, and all her abusers got was a light slap on the wrist. How can you do this to someone? Did those girls not have a heart? Were they so pathetically miserable that they had to take it out on a poor, innocent child?? I don't understand how someone can be so, so cruel... How do you live with that? How do you grow old, knowing you've done something so horrible to someone. How do you live with yourself? How do you not feel guilty? How??? Just HOW???
I think the names we give these crimes would help reframe it in society. Instead of bullying, let’s call it assault and attempted murder.
The names of the perpretators should be made public in such cases, it's sad they're protected by law. Even without a criminal record, being publicly shamed/disgraced for teenagers can be enough to prevent stuff.
The Glory really brings out the actual type of school violence cases in schools
i really want to tell all of the victims to always leave your phone on record and bring it with them when the violence (because thats what it is) occurs. i myself and a couple of my friends have been through bullying and when the teachers see me cry or hear my friend complain to them about the bullying, theyll just go "oh try taking up karate for your anger issues!" as if we're the ones with the problem and not the bullies. These kids need solid proof to report things and even then, with solid proof in hand, theyre not believed
always. proof and documentation. and try to be factual and detailed even if you're understandably emotional. people tend to dismiss someone seeming emotional and treat them unfairly.
@@mauvehawaii but if the bullies do not get punished what is the use of reporting or showing evidence
@@mauvehawaiiI hate to say it but sometimes the authorities don’t care about recordings either. My mom survived domestic violence and had recordings of her getting assaulted by my dad. The police really said that there was no proof that it was my dad in the audio and that it could be someone that sounds like it. To this day it sounds like they just didn’t care
there is a risk of your phone being broken though, if you’re being beaten up. or your bully may grab it and destroy it themselves.
I don't know... when I was in first grade my teacher saw how I was being bullied and she told me that I have to get over it and stop being a crybaby... that was the last time I told anyone that I was being bullied... not because it had stopped but because I was afraid of hearing those words again :/
i can’t even begin to imagine what the victim felt during that time. i’m aware of how dark the world is, but i still can’t even fathom the thought of doing that to someone or how someone can do something so sickening like this

We’ve been to Korea last month. Told my kids I don’t wanna go back here. Place is good, food is good but majority of the people are rude.
Exactly like India is so so much better in this case. Ofc bullying happens everywhere but I don't understand why it's so severe and common in South Korea?
@@factworlddreams4976at this point it's not bullying but rather committing torture and crime.
no one should go under this torture and it felt wrong when these bullies weren't punished for what they had done
Its horrible how little punishment bullies get. Those in this story should definitely have gone to jail. Seems like they get off lighter just because it happened in a school. I got bullied myself at 14-16 years old and I am 28 now and still struggle alot from it. The bullies ruined my life. Meanwhile they just walk free as if nothing happened and are successful in their own lives. It pisses me off.
karma even if they are now successful in their life they will have to pay karma
I was bullied when I was a Primary 5 student & I was only 10 at that time. Srsly it sucks.
As someone who is not from Korea, I have mostly come across stories about school bullying in kdramas. Initially I thought they were exaggerating to make the kdramas more dramatic but as I continued knowing Korean news through kpop or kdramas, being part of fandoms & coming across horrific news about school bullying it became real to me just how much this happens in Korea & how little repercussion are faced by the perpetrators.
I also want to add that in most Asian communities, society views education as the top most priority in terms of having a good student record. The fact that many of the bullying cases are tried to be pled with the reasoning that this will impact the perpetrator's student record or chance at college admission baffles me and disgust me thinking what kinda society & environment are we creating where perpetrators can get away with their horrific acts cuz they know it will be their "first offence" or "the court/board/adults will let me go cuz they don't want my student record to be impacted"
It is basically you can do all kind of assaults as long as you're under 18
i thought that this kind of bullying happens in dramas only but this is the one of the horrifical case i have seen . the bullies are living a perfect life after making a life hell .
South Korea really needs to look at the student board and punish the criminals severely.
The thought that the perpetrators are living a normal life with people around them having little to no idea about what they did in the past while that girl is still suffering from memories and scars of that incident angers me to the core. As a person from a country where school bullying cases are extremely rare, I cannot, for my life, think of how the thoughts of torturing someone even cross a minor's mind, like how fucked up do you have to be to even think of that let alone carry it out irl
This isn't even bullying anymore. This is abuse, this is a felony
The way you tell all these stories is absolutely amazing, no one else can tell them the way you do!! ❤️ I eagerly wait for you videos 🤧 really appreciate your hard work !!! Love you!
Korea is one of the country I'd visited with unkind people... I remember we were just walking on the street and train station and they will push you because they want to pass by you, instead of saying excuse me or walk beside you and avoid having a physical contact... another experience we had was, we were in the grocery store, and the girl arranging the items in the shelf pushed our cart because she's piling up their stocks and our cart was blocking the shelf... another one was, we were looking around in the stores, and we saw a cute pants, and lifted it to check it clearly in the light, the guy in the store grabbed it in my hand and put it back to the hanger... that was so rude... even my sister attested that Koreans are like that. She's been living in Korea for over 5 years now.
I was also a victim of bullying in highschool but I always fought back. Good thing is the severity of the bullying is not like this, just more on verbal. but still it affects me having a low self esteem in my adult years
I was bullied all my life, even at work. nothing this serious but I can't remember clearly so many things that I think I developed a defensive amnesia, even once, one person apologized to me for something she did to me that she regret a lot and I don't remember that at all. I wish that the victims were able to forget too but they have marks so deep in her body as in their mind that I find it hard to happen, bullies need to be accountable for their horrific acts in a real way and the families of the bullies need to be investigated
I spent my entire middle school career being mercilessly bullied by the same girls, and more often than not, I was the one getting in trouble because God forbid I get upset about the fact I'm being terrorized. I ran home from school specifically because I was afraid of physical retaliation. Cases like this make me so angry, it always ends up feeling like there's no justice to be had.
Yes, they punish more the víctim for reacting from the abuse than the abusers and school Will always try to gaslihht You int being the better part and ignore .... Worse excuse EVER, cuz bullies Will continue and excale the abuse
They ignore the first set of violence but punish the retaliation. They are bullies themselves who hate the children they work with.
Why don't you make your parents drive next to these hoars and loudy ask them why they do not let their child alone several times while following them around with a car
As a person who had being bullied because of misunderstanding, getting beaten and get push the mop into my face, it's really frustrating and unforgettable about the past that they did to me. It's been 16years since the case back in highschool and they have their living-like-a-queen vibes while I'm suffering to lack of confidence, overthinking about someone thoughts and depression. The bullies needs the real lesson a.k.a jail to make them realize about what they did, not just being counseling by the teachers or get in community service. The justice needs to be prevail so that the bullies will stop do the bad thing to other people
I agree, I'm sorry you suffered and got bullied and that you have left scars.I don't know if you believe or not but do you mind if I share something with you?
This isn't bullying, this is premeditated torture, and attempted murder disguised as bullying
Everyone involved with abusing this girl should be put in prison!! I thank God every day that I was born and raised in the USA!!!
the one reason why im so into true crime cases is because the abuser is almost always met with justice. This story as well as thousands of other ones in South Korea make me feel terrible for how little they’re punished. I hope South Koreans actually speak up about it and change it for good. Bullying isn’t going to benefit the bully but it will scar the victim FOR LIFE. And incase you didnt know, we only have one life. i hate how that poor girl had to have her one life ruined by others for no apparent reason. Imagine how painful it would have been mentally AND physically to get tortured (not even a quick death) for fucking days. PLEASE, South Korea. If you see this, GET. YOUR. BULLYING. UNDER. CONTROL. PLEASE.
It makes me so mad that they don’t do anything about it , like it’s a normal thing.
This goes way beyond bullying. This is savage and sadistic torture. The people who commit these crimes should be locked up for many years and I'm talking about not just the ones who inflict the pain but everyone who stands around and watches without taking any action to stop it. Every school has bullies but bullies rule by fear and intimidation. The perpetrators depicted in "The Glory" are monsters. That includes the school administrator who slaps the victim around after she reports the incident.
Kids are really terrifying it's crazy how you can actually torture other people but have no consequences. How is that any different than any other criminal or abuser? Those kids should be in juvie
They ain’t kids they’re fkin devils
Thank you for spreading awareness about the horrific bullying. The punishment needs to fit the crime. The bullies should be dealt with harsher.
I’m Mongolian and the story in Busan breaks my heart. I hope karma gets back to those that think it’s ok to treat their peers like this.
school bullying is a serious offence because of the mental trauma that comes along with it, and seeing jung's condition broke my heart. it just shows that people should take this seriously as the bullies may grow up and do even more heinous crimes.
Damn, in my school a girl just go slapped in the face and the person who slapped her on the face got expelled. It shows how South Korea really doesn’t about its children.
School bullying is so much aggressive in kdramas that I can't imagine horror in real life that victims witness
It is honestly heartbreaking to hear about such incidents, I am glad that I have never heard or see an incident like this from my school and I truly hope there wont be any.
All I can say is this: Why? Just WHY?! This breaks my heart just from hearing this. My heart goes to the victim and the victim's family. This is scary, horrible, and unjust. Those students who bullied the victim should be rotting in prison, not walking. THIS is horrible.
They shldnt even live.
If no action is taken against such bullies, the bullying will only worsen. It's unbelievable how this type of psychotic behavior goes unnoticed/overlooked
Well that's just lovely. I lived and worked in Cheongju from 2008 - 2010. I taught licensed Korean-English public school teachers, and yes, student behavior often came up. I never heard this story.
It was crazy and sad enough to see it happen in the K-drama, but for it to happen in real life is really terrifying. I feel so bad for the girl who had to suffer through that. I hope she’s doing better :(
Her abusers will probably be living as mothers, wives, and good friends to those around her ......I hope they watched everything and keep in mind they also have...if they have, children who probably they want to protect ,,.... just imagine if their names would be known by everyone and some other abusers bullied their children ........ just KARMA... living in fear NOW for their own children ..... and probably their own reputation
Bullying is quite common shown in Kdramas. It's art mimicking rela life. Why is bullying so prevalent and sever in Korea though? It isn't just bullying but it is downright criminal assault
this is so horrible the abuser was left unharmed while the victim has gained trauma for the rest of her life
As a student who studies in India, I dont think we have very huge cases of school bullying here. I had a friend who got bullied but the maximum was all class teasing her and insulting her never beyond. Nevertheless, I was new to the school when i saw all this happen for the first time. I was 9 years old in 5th grade. As I was new to the school, I felt bad for her so tried to be her friend. There was this girl, who was literally was behind me every time during dispersal all along the way she would try to persuade me and tell me how i should not be friends with her. I knew she was wrong. The girl they all bullied was literally so sweet. I mean whenever someone forgot to bring something to the class and even when their friends wouldnt share their stuff, they went to her and she always gave. The other times she would be treated as if she was some untouchable and no one would touch her or her stuff. We were all merely 5th graders. Then i finally made friends in my new class and now i had a group of 4. In the whole class we treated her best compared to others. But we didnt treat her good otherwise. The other children had influenced us, they would taunt us for talking to her and being friends with her. And back then it kinda seemed cool to everyone to bully her. Sometimes, we behaved the same then we would feel guilty and stop. But the cycle continued of behaving that way then feeling guilty then treating her nice. Now 5 years after, I've lost contact with 2 people from that group and one is my best friend. We sometimes discuss how it was all fucked up. And I actually end up crying sometimes how i was so terrible. I could have been better but why did i want to be like others even when i knew they were wrong. This is something i regret for life. I made sure I never lose conact with her cause someday I wanna meet her again and apologise. Whenever someone would ask her she would tell them I and my group are best friends. She thought we were good to her but we were only better to her otherwise still worst. I hope she is in a much more better place now. Even back then amidst all of this bullying, She was the strongest. She always seemed happy and smiled. Whenever we talked to her she was so enthusiastic. Even when many teachers try to shut her down or did not behave well with her still she tried to particiapate as much as she could - in class discussions, in competitons etc. She is my motivation during hard times now. I even remember how happy she was when i invited her to my birthday cause it was her first time attending someone's birthday from school.
India has bullying and fkjn r ape happening every 2 seconds
There is hindu bullied a muslim girl because she wears scarf/hijab 😒 forget school, india know for it corruption from police to modi, killing, raping, bulling muslims, i think you should talk about that.
If you really felt sorry you'd want to jump off a bridge
Poor girl. I cant imagine the trauma she went through after that And how her family felt after knowing. School should be our 2nd home but turns out not because of those bullies. Teachers and principals should take more serious actions to this. I hope she's doing fine now.
I was studying while listening and when i heart Mongolian my heart just skipped a beat because im Mongolian. It truly is terrifying to know that there is a lot of people who keep silent about their opinions and what they feel. That poor girl...oh how brutal:( i wish all the victims the best and hope they get better soon.
There needs to be a petition to bring their names out and punish them even though it was a long time ago…. If idols loose their careers over bullying cases so can these monsters
this is just pure bloody crime. i often associated bullying term with something that happens among immature teens... but THIS IS A REAL CRIME. Just imagine a kidnapper doing just the same things as listed in this video, and compare the mindset. these bullies are literally the worst minded.
I do not understand how they don't feel bad doing what they do, the lack of empathy in some human beings is so scary.
I don't believe that the teacher and classmates didn't notice anything... Liars,,, all of them are guilty. Poor girl, I feel so sorry for her. I hope those bullies would never be happy, it is horrific to imagine them as a mother, wish they stayed in jail their whole life
Kind of reminded me when i once asked a friend who used to live in SK if bullying is that bad, she confirms it too from experience. She stated how you had little to zero chance of protection if the bullies are influential or rich whose parents have strong connections, making the school admins side with the bullies instead.
I can't believe that the law can be made up of different ways to protect the criminal . This is really driving me crazy.😡
It is a really great video you did, thank you very much! 🤗
I really like how you are retelling these cases with your calm manner/voice. It really draws someone in.
Bullying is a terrible problem around the world. Especially when it gets unnoticed.
I mean, yeah, some bullies have themselves problem they can't deal with (abuse, hard life, etc...) and putting it on others, but this is no excuse to harm someone else in any kind of way.
One of my classmates bullied me too over years. Very intelligent man, who lost his parents in a young age, which is sad, but no excuse to treat me poorly.
It is hard for me sometimes, bc I started to mistrust people they could hurt me.
Sadly, at work, we have also people who have tendencies to go in that direction... But I found my way to deal with it.
We really need harsher punishments for bullies, so they see, they can't continue with this and that people are suffering. It is sad, that Karma isn't coming back to them so easily.
@@6nomemory6 That people are bullying others bc they are bored or lonely is an aspect, which is shocking me everytime. I mean, they have a stable life - probably not enough emotional caring of their parents, but this is still no reason or excuse.
I really feel your pain; especially as someone who had never done something wrong in life and just wanted to do the own thing… They seem especially like to bully the quiet ones. And the ones who are „strange“ to them (just bc someone doesn‘t fit in the „normal“ image of a teenager… But what is even „normal“?)
I am glad, that you protect the weaker ones and got stronger. It is sad that they are often left alone, so it is good, that there are still people who are helping the bullied ones. And I agree - they have to learn that there are borders they shouldn‘t cross and it is wrong what they are doing.
Please take care of yourself and stay strong - I wish you all the best in the world!
That's why actors and kpop idols with bullying issues were cancelled immediately
Korean school bullying is absolutely, outrageously, horrifyingly brutal
The writer of The Glory, Kim Eun Sook definitely researched bullying cases and decided to base it off the curling iron Cheongju case. In an interview she said the drama was just a work of fiction based on conversations with her daughter, but I don't believe it one bit.
It sucks that she's not being honest about where the inspiration of the drama really came from. It seems like she wants to take all the credit for coming up with something that was not 100% an original idea but a true story.
That honestly sucks. She is earning off of somebody's absolute worst nightmares and hundreds and thousands who undergo the same thing. Honestly, it's no better than a slap on the wrist that the actual cases' perpetrators faced. Had the actual case, whatever it may have been, credited, those bullies from the real thing could remember what they did to someone and have had just one sleepless night if not many. They didn't suffer and no matter how young or first or second their crimes were, they should have faced punishments on par with a regular criminal. Honestly, S Korean society needs to get its shit together. They are taking things too lightly in a whole lot of cases and sooner or later, it's all gonna blow back up in their faces. Bullies or perverts or creeps don't change that easily, let alone with a mere slap on the wrist.
Bullies from elite family backgrounds in Korea usually get a free pass for their crimes. The young actress who committed suicide to escape her wealthy and prominent rapists never received due justice because the cops and government are owned by these evil people.
You don't know the real reason she is not saying the truth. It can actually just be her own experience in school, but she wants to keep it private.
I don't think she can claim it to be based on real cases because the legality will be murky, not just for the victim but also the perpetrators, people will speculate and try to link the drama to real life cases. The problem is the real case has so little information to be a drama and they may not consent while the drama has a lot of personal detail.
Therefore, the only way movie/drama/fiction can claim that they come from true story is when they get all the details correct to avoid misunderstanding and also someone directly involved to give them their perspective. The perpetrators from Cheongju case also do not get their name out publicly because they are a minor. She may not based the whole things of that case, she may want to have story about the bullying awareness and have the same scene with Cheongju case but saying that based it on that case will murky the reality in the real case, can send unwanted attention to people involved, including the victim and open defamation lawsuit for the whole production team.
She brought this as fiction because everyone in SK understand that this is real phenomenon, bullying is severe without having the "realism tag" and with "fiction tag" the drama can be made without endangering the production team. The things that connect the glory and Cheongju case is mostly in weapon to hurts but the backstory of character in the glory is not similar to the case. How will they respond if the victim felt like they was defamed as the "adult perpetrators" because of this drama?? Remember that the glory is not just about how tragic the abuse but also about a victim that do all sort of illegal and legal things to get back on the perpetrators. How about the parents that just non existent in the drama but was supporting in rea life? How should they respond if other people from the Cheongju class or even from the same school but unrelated to the incident got harassed because this drama showed many perpetrators? This is not just cut and dry situation for credit related, this involved real people with their life, not everyone want to be the centre of attention.
With the drama being tag as fiction, people start find out real bullying case and raise the awareness because they all know this stuff is happening around them.
Maybe she is scared that the drama would be cut off because of some higher ups who don't want let the world know about this
Bullying started at 2½ years old for me & my brother, we would be at the farm and the cousins would come up to us and one of them would tie rope around our necks, while my dad would get threatened with a pitchfork. The second eldest would try to hit me with a metal pole. Then bullying would carry on through infant school to junior school to college.. it was exhausting! people don't get how all this shit can leave mental scars behind, I'm still cautious about people now..
I'm glad to come across your videos....we won't be able to know about the cases that you deliver to us. Thank you for your great effort and time to make this happen 👍 👏 will wait for your videos always 😊
Being no serious help, the authority shouldn't trust now. How could a student tells what happened when they aren't listening??? How could they tell them if they dont believe it??
What's the worse is the bullies never apologies properly for what they did . Heaven only knows that Karma exist or not . I had been bullied and now I can't believe anyone easily. It's been 3 years yet it feels like it happened yesterday and it's scary.
Karma is real, really ı mean ıt
By putting yourself in this bad situation right now, you are doing what they want from you.
So against them and people like them,try to be a very strong, confident person who doesn't seem to care about anything such people do.(you can do ıt,ı trust you)
You deserve to be happy, don't let scumbag people like them extinguish the happiness of a wonderful person like you.
I hope you always find good things in your life.☺
Abnormal people like bullies never apologize. They're not empathetic. Normal and sane people know how to empathize and apologize.
To all victims of bullies who did not get justice then. Don't worry. Karma will come for them. This is a fact, and NO ONE hides from Karma.
that wasn’t bullying that was attempting murder & torture it’s such pure evil..
Her Voice Is Soo Soooothing My God❤️❤️❤️And Thank You For Sharing The Incidents Really Thankful To YOU❤️❤️
Bullying is horrible everywhere, but I've heard that bullying in Asian countries, specifically Korea and Japan, is a whole 'nother flavour of fucked up. So many horrible stories of bullying because people like this can get away with it... laws really need to change in places like this, what a horrific story.
I can't imagine how bullies sleep peacefully while the victim suffered day and night until she grow ups. She deserve justice!!! whyyyy their governments did not take actions to reduce this kind of bullying. Its not just bullying its a physical assault.
Its not only the bullies it also depends the parents of the bullies to supervise their kids and give them time and good preaches to make them a good healthy and bright individual to avoid such conflicts and spend a healthy life . Also the victims parents to talk to their kids and learn about them as a good friend so that they wont get into these kind of tragic situations
That's brutal, I'm a victim of bullying (it's still going on) but for me it's mostly saying stupid and mean stuff, sometimes physical too. This is a lot for me and I can't imagine experiencing that
@@spacewalker7520 No, thanks for asking though!
I have seen the glory and it broke my heart to see the terrible bullying. Thx so much for this great video
The last part got me ''the abusers will be living as wife , mother and friends to those around them''
Heartbreaking 💔
If someone did that to any of my kids I would take action!!!!!!!
Bullying is a whole nightmare for victims! Imagine you have been bullying for almost a month, and no sign tries to help u... This is literally a disaster!!! 🤦🏻♀️...
I am a victim of horrible bullying, hearing these stories is haunting because I relate so much. My abusers never got in trouble
I feel so sorry for you .But the person will face karma love and warm hugs from me
Myabuser end up being. Reguetón singer ... He is doing fine
@@AyAReI00 life is a circle what goes comes back you just have pations dear
the way you compile everything and tell it in a way which is very apt is really amazing. horrible to know such things happen..dont those humans have a conciense?
It's disgusting to think that most 'bullies' don't even get arrested for the abuse they did to the victims and their actions don't leave a criminal record????? That is super unfair for the victims because of how much they have suffered. I personally first encountered South Korea's bullying cases when I was reading a webtoon and I didn't actually know that it was THAT severe :( it's sad to think that the victims don't talk to their parents and teachers probably because their scared.
Ur way of telling these true crime stories is brilliant.
Keep up the good work. Much love from India 🇮🇳❤️
I hope the poor girl will recover from this horrific incident and all the bullies will receive proper punishment
I really feel school bullies like this need to be jailed so others will think twice before bullying others..
Any kind of bullying, harmful, threat, should be recorded and being considered when those bullies apply to university and job. Its so unfair.
“It was their first offense…”
No, it wasn’t. They offended at least 20 separate times. They’d only been *caught* once.
How come the parents never observed it, to think of that the abuse continued for 20 days and the parents didn't notice it all raises serious questions.
Growing up in poverty & in the streets… I learned quickly how to protect & defend myself. I grew up “hardened” inside out that I would NEVER in a million years allow this to happen to me without a flght to the death. I wouldn’t even care what consequences await, all I know is I would be squaring up… ready for ANYTHING. Hearing about this just enrages me and why I have all my kids go through rigorous training on MMA & self defense. Ain’t no kid or group of buIIies runnin’ up on mine. PeriodT.
well it’s not you. what you’re saying just sounds like victim blaming.

School Is a place where children go to learn moral things but, it turned out to be a biggest life threat. There should be some strict laws against this so, that bullies cannot even think to bully someone
moral teachings are hardly taught the school curriculum focuses on the provided syllabus and often ignores moral teachings saying it's not part of their job until it affects the staff I remember during the last week of my 10th grade as it was the last week of school and students would be moving to colleges from the 11th grade it is like a ritual to write on each other's shirt goodbye messages and stuff and this has been happening for years but this time the principal was angry for some reason because some kids wrote swear words on each other's shirt in a friendly way no bullying but the principal slapped the kids who wrote it in the school assembly and not just once like a five-time at least but the following day a fight broke out between some boys and one boy became blind in one eye because of how badly he was punched but the school completely ignored like t didn't happen....we all could see the hypocrisy of our school and it's not the first time something like this happened
Not only in korea but there are so many cases of bullying overseas ..but I don't understand why do they even bully? ...and the bullies especially the richer ones are always free to escape anytime but not the one who faced that?...then what are the government and laws doing..I am not understanding
This really is one of the dark sides of South Korea. Kudos to the entertainment industry for putting light on to these issues, and will serve as a warning to the other bullies. Parents of these bullies are responsible for their kids' actions, and should be punished too.
There are bullies everywhere in the world and they all mostly go unpunished. School bullies, classmate bullies, husband bullies, teacher bullies, playground bullies, work colleague bullies, sibbling bullies
The scary thing is, imagine how many cases of such brutality have gone unrevealed...
Ive just seen “The Glory” on netflix and was so horrified on how the bullying was,but much more horrfiying learning there are much worse thant that…i was bullied on my elementary days but i fought them back and they stop..
*they almost kill someone*
The justice: let them be, it's their first offense
It's not like they stole a chupa chups, they knew what they were doing when they were torturing that girl
