According to Yonhap News on the 31st, a Halloween part was hosted at an English academy in Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-do at around 8:30 pm on the 27th. Ms. A, a 5th grade elementary school student, attended this party and suffered a torn forehead with visible bones.

Looking at the closed-circuit (CCTV) video, the accident occurred when a monster attacked the children.

The academy that caused the accident acknowledged responsibility. They say they will do their best to help Ms. A recover. They also announced plans to post an official apology on the academy’s website.

An official from the academy said, “We held an event to leave good memories for the children, but because we were overly motivated, we couldn’t take care of what we should have. We are reflecting a lot and will do our best to provide treatment until the end so that the child’s condition returns to before the accident.” .
