Although police investigations into their deaths are still ongoing, the anger felt by teachers across the country has been fueled based on the belief that their deceased colleagues were all under excessive stress due to parents being too demanding.
이들의 사망에 대한 경찰 조사가 아직 진행 중이지만, 사망한 동료들이 학부모의 지나친 요구로 과도한 스트레스를 받고 있었다는 판단에 전국 교사들의 분노가 증폭되고 있다.
