Well this wasnt a very big article and i just happened to stumble upon it checking the news this morning...


WTF - the caption is short but basically spells out what happened. Anyone know more details?

"No violence at school!: High schoolers march with the portrait of a friend who was beaten to death by a senior, calling for the school to take responsibility for the death Tuesday in Gangneung City, Gwangwon Province. Hong was beaten by the student council chief Monday because he didn�t attend a morning gathering. The student was sent to hospital later but died."

Nice of them to include a pic of the kid in the middle with his hand down his pants.

What happened to the man stabs 6 people story in the Korean news? Yesterday all the Toronto papers had big headlines about a mass stabbing in Seoul. I went to the KT and KH but couldn't find anything about it.

Damn...I would hate to be the senior responsible for that beating. Sad thing is he is a victim too as I am sure the school encourages this type of behavior to keep everyone in line.
