I’m going to try doing this one a little differently. This article can have dual use as either an ESL topic for your students, or for self-study to improve your Korean. Make no mistake, I’m no wiz compared to others when it comes to Korean, so this is a self-study exercise for me. I encourage anyone and everyone to point and laugh at my mistakes and/or offer constructive criticism.

대구 북부경찰서는 2일 하굣길 중학생을 상대로 상습적으로 금품을 빼앗은 혐의로 S(14)군 등 10대 청소년 2명을 불구속 입건했다.
On June 2nd, police in northern Daegu charged two teen boys suspected of habitually robbing middle school students coming home from school.

경찰에 따르면 S군 등은 지난달 11일 오후 8시20분께 대구시 북구 침산동 한 편의점 앞에서 귀가하던 L(13)군을 편의점 건물 1층 화장실로 끌고가 현금 1만원을 빼앗는 등 지난 4월초부터 최근까지 11차례에 걸쳐 10여만원 상당의 금품을 빼앗은 혐의를 받고 있다.
According to the police, at 8:20pm on May 11, the young teenagers were hanging out in front of a convenience store in Chimsan-dong, when they grabbed a passing middle school student who was on his way home from school. They then dragged the boy into a washroom of the adjacent building and stole 10,000 won from him. They are also suspected for hauling in over 100,000 won in as many as 11 such incidents.

경찰 조사결과 S군 등은 지난 4월초 각각 가출한 뒤 목욕탕 등에서 함께 생활해왔으며, PC방 이용료 등을 마련하기 위해 이같은 범행을 저지른 것으로 드러났다.
The police investigation revealed that the two teenagers had since ran away from home in April and had been living in a mogyoktang and were robbing students, so they can have money to go to PC bangs.

Some conversation springboards for ESL classes:
1. Have you ever heard of any students dropping out of school?
2. Do you know of any students who have dropped out of school so they can play PC games, all the time?
3. What do you think should be done to help prevent students from dropping out?
4. Who do you think is truly at fault in this case? The teenagers? Their parents? PC bangs?
