"I'm the principal who worked in Gangnam!"…They're using abusive language against teachers, forcing wine parties.

The Office of Education has launched an investigation into allegations that elementary school teachers were bullied at work by the principal.

According to a JTBC report on the 19th, elementary school teachers in Gwanak-gu, Seoul, forced a "wine party" during after-school classes and shouted and pointed fingers at requests to soften their words.

In addition, principal A reversed his promise to hang a memorial banner on September 4 last year, when teachers went on strike for their annual leave in time for the 49th anniversary of the death of a teacher at Seoi Elementary School, and reportedly verbally abused the teachers to protest.

In the process, principal A said, "Teacher, I'm the principal. I can speak stronger than you, but I'm holding it in now," he said. It is also explained that he did not approve the early departure, referring to disciplinary measures.

He also verbally abused a fixed-term teacher who asked him to speak softly, saying, "How dare you send such a messenger to the principal to me who worked in Gangnam and Seocho?"

Some testified that wine parties were also held at the principal's office once a month during office hours.

The Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education said, "We are investigating allegations of bullying in the principal's workplace," but the school and the principal A have not come up with any position.
