A post mocking the recent death of a trainee in the 12th Army's military discipline (얼차려) has been posted on WOMAD (워마드), a 'male abuse' community, causing controversy.
As of the 7th, a post on WOMAD reads, “Congratulations on the death of trainee ○○○. The post, which was posted at dawn on the morning of the 30th of last month, the day of the deceased trainee's funeral, included a schedule of the trainee's funeral proceedings, a picture of the funeral casket, and a photo of the deceased trainee.
The author mocked the deceased trainee by writing, “I hope you two can talk to each other in the afterlife,” referring to Sung Jae-gi, the head of the men's regiment who died in an accident while performing a throwing performance on Mapo Bridge in 2013.
In response to the controversy, the Army demanded an immediate end to the defamatory behavior and a refrain from posting slanderous comments.
“We deeply regret the mocking posts related to the martyrdom of our soldiers, as they are a serious affront to the honor of the deceased and their families,” an Army official said.
“This behavior must stop immediately and we strongly urge you to refrain from posting such derogatory comments.”
