Students at Chungam High School, President Yoon Suk Yeol's alma mater, expressed their position directly to stop the criticism against the school and its students after the December 3 emergency martial law incident.

Chungam High School's student council issued an official statement on the social network service (SNS) on the 10th, and said, "Chungam High School's student council also sympathizes with the public's anger caused by the December 3 incident."

"However, the president and the controversial figures are graduates who graduated from Chungam High School 40 years ago. They are only people who have passed Chungam High School for a while due to the duty of education, and they have nothing to do with the current students," he stressed.

In addition, the student council said, "Since the incident, cases of damage have continued to be received, such as verbally abusing students in school uniforms, threatening to penalize them for employment, or calling the teacher's office," and appealed, "Please stop criticizing Chungam High School students and help students safely dream of their future and unfold."

Chungam High School, President Yoon Suk Yeol's alma mater, sent a family letter on the 6th to allow students to wear plain clothes until February next year for the safety of students after the 12.3 martial law incident.

As verbal abuse and mockery against the students continued, he sent an official letter to the police to strengthen patrols during school hours.
