Police search Gwangju high school after bomb threat amid baseball trash talk controversy

A bomb threat was reported online against Gwangju Jeil High School, prompting a police search, though no explosives were found. The incident follows a controversy where players from Seoul's Pai Chai High School made comments during a baseball game that were perceived as mocking and insulting. The remarks, including references to Starbucks and 'Tank Day,' were tied to a promotional campaign that coincided with the anniversary of the 1980 Gwangju Uprising, leading to widespread criticism. The Korea Baseball Softball Association suspended Pai Chai's team for six months. The school plans an apology event, while its alumni association advocates for leniency.
