A 32-year-old elementary school teacher in South Gyeongsang province has been arrested for engaging in sexual activities with a 12-year-old student.

According to Busan Ilbo, back in June, the female teacher identified as A started sending text messages with hearts, saying, "I love you'', to her student identified as B. When B did not react to her messages, A told B she will buy him mandoo (dumplings) and convinced him to come meet her outside. A then attempted physical contact with B in her car.

It's revealed that A also sent topless photos in order to convince B to have sexual relations with her.

A has been fired from the elementary school. It's revealed that she's married and also has children.
