School Safety Measures Tightened After Tragic Murder 🏫

Following the tragic death of a 7-year-old girl allegedly stabbed by her teacher, authorities are implementing measures to enhance student safety.

The South Chungcheong Education Office will distribute emergency alert devices to first- and second-graders and expand text message notifications for parents when students leave school.📱 Additionally, AI-powered CCTVs will be installed to detect suspicious activity.

The measures come after the shocking murder of Kim Ha-neul in Daejeon. The teacher, who had a history of depression but no prior disciplinary records, allegedly purchased the weapon during work hours before committing the crime. Kim’s family has criticized the police for their delayed response, as her grandmother ultimately found her before authorities could. The incident has sparked nationwide concerns about school safety and emergency response protocols.🏫📢

You might have thought, “Spring is finally here!” and put away your heavy winter clothes, only to be caught off guard by a sudden drop in temperature and a chilly breeze in the morning and evening.🥶 Sounds familiar? That’s exactly what we call 꽃샘추위 (kkot-saem-chu-wi)!

꽃샘추위 refers to a sudden cold snap that occurs just as spring begins. The name has a poetic meaning—“the cold that is jealous of the flowers.” It’s as if winter refuses to leave quietly and tries to cling on a little longer, bringing back chilly temperatures just when people start enjoying the warmth. This cold spell typically occurs in early to mid-March, but in some years, it can even last into April.

What makes this period tricky is that the weather during the day feels warm and pleasant, making you believe that spring is in full swing. But once the sun sets, the temperature suddenly drops, creating a sharp contrast between day and night. This is why people say, “It feels like spring during the day, but winter at night.”☀️⛄ If you’re not careful, you might catch a cold!😷 Many people go out in light clothes only to regret it when they’re shivering on their way home in the evening.

To stay comfortable, don’t rush to put away your winter clothes just yet!🧥 Keep a light jacket handy, drink warm tea, and take care of your health—especially if you’re sensitive to sudden weather changes.

So, even if 꽃샘추위 makes one last attempt to hold on, just remember—spring always comes in the end!🤗🌼

7살 초등학생이 교사에게 살해당하는 사건이 발생하자 교육 당국이 학생 안전 강화를 위한 대책을 마련하고 있어요.
