On the 1st, the Korean Federation of Teachers' Associations (KFTA) said, "If such works are treated as romance or fantasy,
"There is a possibility that the seriousness of grooming crimes that do occur in reality will be diluted," the KCNA said.
"I sympathize with the argument, but the portrayal of teachers as perpetrators of grooming crimes against students undermines the credibility of the educational field," he said, adding that he "never accepts attempts to sexualize children."
The comic, which began serialization in 2019 and was completed in 142 chapters, tells the story of a female elementary school teacher who has had a failed relationship and finds herself drawn into a game character.
The story depicts the events that unfold when the protagonist discovers that the protagonist was actually one of his students. Although it won an award for excellence at the 1st World Manga Exhibition, the manga has been subject to strong criticism over its content.
Recently, the news broke that the work will be adapted into a TV series, sparking discussions in online communities.
The director is Hyun and the script is written by writer Jung Se-hyuk. The specific schedule, broadcasting date, and casting are yet to be decided. However, the education sector has protested vigorously and urged the suspension of production.
The National Federation of Educational Organizations (NFEO) said, "We are concerned about the damage to the authority of teachers throughout Korea and the spread of non-educational and anti-social content aimed at children."
We will continue to respond to this issue until the very end."
