A threatening post claiming that explosives had been planted at Gwangju Jeil High School, which the Baejae High School baseball team is scheduled to visit to apologize for inappropriate cheering chants, was uploaded to an online community this morning (July 4).

Although no actual explosives were found, a search of the school premises by police and fire authorities caused a commotion.

The police plan to track down the author of the post while also strengthening safety measures for the scheduled apology visit the day after tomorrow.
