SBS 'I Want to Know It', which aired on the 29th, traced the true nature of Myung Jae-wan, a teacher who brutally killed a first grader at school.
An ambulance arrived at a school in Daejeon on February 10, and a first-year child was taken to a hospital, but he was already in cardiac arrest. It was eight-year-old Kim Ha-neul attending this school.
Miss Haneul's mother agonized over the interview. I thought I would have to speak out to gain more strength. I got a call from the school at 4:52 p.m. The care teacher contacted me that the sky was gone. I contacted my husband and found the child while listening to the sound through the app he had installed. "My grandmother prevented my husband from seeing the child he found in the audiovisual room. CPR is performed through the gap in the open door, but the body's reaction is not coming back, so I think it will be more difficult because of bleeding. Later, I cried when I heard that the criminal was a teacher."
The culprit is 48-year-old Myung Jae-wan, a teacher at the school. MC Kim Sang-joong released a comparative photo, saying, `The way he used to look now is very different from the way he is now,' and `Now he has a look in his eyes without focus.'
Myung Jae-wan took a leave of absence due to depression and suddenly returned to work at the end of December, causing several problems such as breaking the PC at school or assaulting fellow teachers. The vice principal excluded the class and sat next to him, making his position narrower. Later, Myung Jae-wan purchased a knife at lunchtime and eventually brutally killed Ha-neul in the audiovisual room.
Parents of the school agreed that "the auditorium is a soundproofed space and a locked place where people do not come in and out of the room" and that "you must go through it to go down the central stairs in the care class.""
The production team visited and covered the former school where Myung Jae-wan worked. In the past school, he was evaluated as a bright person and suitable for teaching life. However, there was also an anecdote that a parent complained to the principal when he was in charge of the second grade homeroom teacher in 2019, causing problems within two or three classes.
But the police say the cause of depression was not necessarily that, but there was a family feud"I can't tell you in detail because it's personal information."
Myung Jae-wan's early return to work was followed by a message that he was forced to leave school again to avoid divorce because he was taking a leave of absence at home and was trying to get a holiday allowance.
Myung Jae-wan has been on leave due to depression in 2021, 2023, and 2024.
Psychiatrists say "Stress seems to have been affected by early restoration. The cause of the stress that is unclear can turn into anger at some point. "Instinctively, people who are stronger than themselves do not attack."
Another specialist stated "The psychiatric medical certificate states that it is an unknown depression episode. It is the most ambiguous diagnostic name for depression. It can also be seen as a bipolar disorder. Mixed illustrations of mania and depression" "A mixed illustration refers to a state of energy with symptoms of depression but high mania" he said.
Was there no one who could stop the school from becoming the murder stage for Myung.
Teachers say that police reporting was the best when violent tendencies were seen at first. However, an official from the Office of Education said, `There is paternalism within the teacher. It's similar to how it's hard to report to 112 because I saw something violent for a while when I had a marital fight."
There were also parts that could be prevented systematically. The fact that there was a review committee for teachers with diseases. However, this is also a system that is not well known within teachers, and the actual number of reports is extremely small, so the number of meetings held by the committee itself has reached 65 times in three years, and five metropolitan and provincial offices of education have not opened at all.
MC Kim Sang-joong said "Since Mr. Myung is a teacher, the whole teacher does not have to be criticized."Even if Myung was not a teacher, he would have caused problems with irrational behavior. Nor does it commit this crime to all bipolar patients. Soon, the court will argue whether Myeong is mentally ill or not in a planned crime.
