On May 9th, a female student at Yonsei University in South Korea posted a message on a popular online community board accusing a male student of impregnating her and then running away.
She publicly disclosed the male student's personal information, including his student number, department, and last name, while using profanity and telling him to "just live your life however you want." She added that she would reveal his full identity soon and claimed to have proof of her pregnancy through an ultrasound image.
After the post garnered significant attention from other students, she followed up on May 10th with a photo of a positive pregnancy test and an even more aggressive message. She faced backlash from some students who criticized her for sharing personal information and publicly shaming the male student before confirming the truth of her claims.
The incident ignited a firestorm of commentary on social media and online forums, with many expressing outrage at both the male student and the female student's actions. Some accused the female student of potentially fabricating the story or of sharing responsibility for the pregnancy, while others condemned the male student for abandoning her and potentially engaging in unprotected sex.
The incident also raised concerns about privacy and the dangers of social media, with some warning against the trend of "doxing" - the act of publicly releasing someone's personal information online without their consent. Additionally, some argued that the female student's behavior could be considered a form of "revenge porn" and that she could potentially face legal repercussions for her actions.
In response to the incident, Yonsei University issued a statement urging all students to respect each other's privacy and to refrain from engaging in any behavior that could harm others. The university also encouraged students to seek help from counseling services if they need support.
The incident has brought to light the issue of sexual responsibility and the need for greater education and awareness surrounding safe sex practices. It also highlights the risks of public shaming and the importance of respecting others' privacy, particularly in the age of social media.
