This is truly an absurd second topic.

An elementary school principal who was nearing retirement sent out wedding invitations announcing that his son was getting married, but it turned out his son was already married.

The invitation itself was also fake.

The Gwangyang Police Station in South Jeolla Province has sent elementary school principal A to prosecutors without detention on fraud charges.

In April, principal A posted a mobile wedding invitation containing the news of his son's marriage in a school staff group chat.

The invitation included the bank accounts of the bride and groom's families, along with the message, "As we are holding a small wedding with family members from both sides, we are unable to invite you in person."

However, when some staff members checked with the wedding venue, there was no reservation for the date and location listed on the invitation.

It was even reported that principal A's son had already married last year.

Criticism erupted both inside and outside the school that principal A, who was nearing retirement, attempted to pocket congratulatory money through a fake wedding.

Principal A belatedly apologized by announcing that the wedding had been canceled, but investigations showed he had already received millions of won into his account.

The education authorities conducted an audit and issued a heavy disciplinary penalty to principal A.
