South Korean actor from 'Teach You a Lesson' shows solidarity with victims of school bullying

South Korean actor Lee Seung-kyu, who portrays a controversial character involved in school bullying in the Netflix series "Teach You a Lesson," has taken a significant step to support victims of school violence. The 26-year-old actor visited the BTF Blue Tree Foundation, a South Korean non-governmental organization dedicated to preventing bullying and cyberbullying.

Lee donated to the foundation, aiming to aid in the prevention of school violence and provide support for young victims. His involvement stems from his on-screen experience, where he plays Ryu Jun-hyung, a student implicated in severe bullying incidents within an educational institution, shielded by his politician father's influence.

Filming 'Teach You a Lesson' made me reflect once again on the gravity of this problem.

"Filming 'Teach You a Lesson' made me reflect once again on the gravity of this problem," Lee stated in a press release issued by the foundation. The BTF Blue Tree Foundation was established by businessman Kim Gi-ki following the suicide of his son, who was a victim of school bullying. "Even if it's a small gesture, I hope it can become a source of strength for young people who need it," Lee added.

A spokesperson for the foundation highlighted the significance of Lee's action, noting its relevance due to his role in the series and his intention to help disseminate useful information to young people. The series itself is set in a collapsing school system and addresses issues like drug trafficking, abuse of authority by parents, and disciplinary problems, with government inspectors intervening to restore order.
