An unusual incident unfolded at a girls' high school in Wonju, Gangwon Province, when a teenager gained entry and roamed the campus for nearly an hour. The individual, initially reported as a man in disguise, was later identified by police as a teenage girl.

The girl entered the school through an unlocked door on a recent afternoon. She spent approximately 40 minutes exploring the school's various floors. During her time inside, she reportedly told students she was a graduate of a local middle school. Teachers were alerted by students, but the intruder had already departed by the time they arrived.

Authorities reviewed security camera footage and confirmed the intruder was a teenage girl with dyed hair and significant makeup. When questioned by police, she stated her motive was simple curiosity. The school has since enhanced its security patrols and informed students and parents about the incident and necessary precautions.

Given the lack of any apparent criminal intent or offense, police indicated they would likely close the case without filing charges. The incident highlights a peculiar breach of security, resolved with minimal disruption but prompting heightened vigilance.

There was no special reason, I was just curious.
