online community

A story has been told that parents with middle school children paid for basic living recipients' expenses ahead of a school trip.

Parents A shared what they experienced on the 14th to an online community, saying, "My middle school son showed me a notice that he was going on a school trip about a month ago."

A, who saw the notice at the time, saw some children who could not go on school trips and contacted the school administration office thinking, "You can't go because of money, right?"

A conveyed his intention to the school, saying, "If the reason (for not being able to participate) is a matter of money, I would like to quietly apply without identifying myself."

After that, there was no contact until a week before the school trip, and Mr. A thought it was a relief.

However, at this time, the school said, "I have friends who haven't deposited yet. I encouraged you, but I contacted you because I only had a week left on my school trip. Those students are eligible for basic livelihood security," he said.

Mr. A released a message he shared with the school, saying that he deposited the cost of the school trip in the students' names.

At the same time, Mr. A said, "I was proud and bitter. These days, Korea is a society that only sees a good life and values its own children, he said. "I thought it would be nice if taxes were used really well."

He then emphasized, "I hope you don't starve yourself due to money problems or give up events such as school trips, the biggest memories of your life."

Netizens who heard the story said, "These days, students' school trip expenses make a 'huck' sound, so they're in trouble." "That's cool. Thanks to this, the student responded, "I will make good memories with my friends."
