Police Investigate Stabbing Threat Posted by Sungkyunkwan University Student

Police have launched an investigation after a post threatening a stabbing incident was uploaded to an online community for Sungkyunkwan University students.

According to the Hwaseong Dongtan Police Station in Gyeonggi Province on June 17, a post appeared on the online community "Everytime" at approximately 1:35 a.m. today (June 17), stating, "Gather at the athletic field at 12:00 p.m. tomorrow. I will carry out a stabbing spree."

In the title of the post, the author used a derogatory slang term referring to students from the Honam region.

Police began their investigation after receiving a report from a citizen who discovered the post this morning and are currently tracking down the author.

In addition, police officers have been deployed to both the Seoul and Suwon campuses of Sungkyunkwan University to prepare for any potential emergencies.

A post detailing how a student discovered the threat and reported it to the police was also uploaded to the Sungkyunkwan University online community.

One student shared screenshots of text messages exchanged with a police officer, stating that they had captured the post and reported it to the authorities.

Upon learning of the incident, Sungkyunkwan University students expressed reactions demanding that the author of the post be held accountable.

One student wrote on the community, "I hope they get punished and reflect on their life," while another expressed skepticism, asking, "Do I really have to attend the same school as someone with that kind of mindset?"
