Actor Kwon Ohjoong shed tears as he revealed that his son had been a victim of school violence.
On the episode of KBS' 'Let's Live Together with Hwang Shinhye' that aired on the 29th, Kwon Ohjoong appeared as a guest.
On this episode, Kwon Ohjoong confessed that his son had been bullied for a year.
He recalled, "When my son started middle school, he said he didn't want to go to school anymore. He said someone had hit him in the stomach. I eventually went to meet the students involved, but they only said, 'I get along with Hyukjoon very well.' I ended up scolding my son when I got home."
One day, Kwon Ohjoong received a call from the school and learned that his son was bleeding from the neck. He said, "It turned out he had been bullied by five students for a year. They pretended to be friendly, but they would beat him with sticks and made him crawl in the bathroom."
He added, "The leader of the group transferred to another school, but the problem is that he did it voluntarily, so it doesn't stay on his school record. The other four perpetrators were only moved to different classes."
He continued, "Even after being moved to different classes, they would say things like 'Don't go near him, you'll get reported to the police.' Nothing changes. Kids can be really cruel."
Kwon Ohjoong said tearfully, "School violence doesn't just destroy the child. It destroys their parents too. My only wish is for my wife and I to see our son walk properly and live a normal life before we go."
