The victim did not demand any compensation. All she wanted is for the company to take down official statements that do not collide with the truth, rewrite the statement that is based on the truth, apologize to her, and for Kim Garam and her friends to not release false statements one-sidedly.
However, Hybe did not take any action at all and let Kim Garam continue her activities as a celebrity as if nothing happened.
The victim is going through a hard time, it was reported that she even did a suicide attempt. Not only that, the victim and her parents decided to drop out of school. Before she dropped out, the victim did not go to school for 7 weeks in a row as she received treatments for her psychological health. The victim's mother also quit her personal activities in order to focus on taking care of the victim so that she would not do any suicide attempts again.
The reason why the victim and her parents filed a criminal complaint against Kim Garam's school violence and sent the mail to Hybe without filing a civil complaint is because the victim wants the second round attacks to stop more than any other compensation.
However, Hybe continues to ignore the victim, and when the report from the school violence committee surfaces online, they release a statement saying that the allegation is considered defamation and they will be taking legal action against it. The victim's parents could not endure having their daughter going through a hard time and now are releasing a statement through a legal representation.

'After that, I quit my job and started running a school violence prevention activity. It's hard to talk about that day, even though 27 years have passed. He jumped off of an apartment building and landed on a car, he survived. But then he jumped off again, and I can not explain how a parent feels when a 16 years old kid died like that. He's in my heart for the rest of my life.'
6. [+635][-1] No matter how much you love money, how can you twist the fact so that the victim becomes the perpetrator and even made her did a suicide attempt because of it. Don't you think that kind of people is the worst human being ever? They completely ruin her mental health. It's very sickening.
We should be concerned about what answer we can give to the victim who still can't forget about the memories of her abuse and can only think that dying is the only way out.
For the perpetrator, the violence might be just a joke, or the victim deserves it, or it is a usual thing that happens among friendships.
However, the perpetrators should be aware that to this victim, whose friends and school life mean a lot to her, the memories of the abuse leave a deep wound that can not be healed by any treatment or compensation.
The awareness of seriousness regarding school violence is the best thing we can do to prevent our kids from becoming the next victim.
