Hazing in the Republic of Korea Armed Forces refers to hazing and bullying carried out within the military, often to conscripts and junior members. A similar example is that of Russia's Dedovshchina. Hazing was enforced mainly under the pretext of establishing military discipline, despite evidence that it did not achieve that goal. Hazing resulted in cases of fragging and suicide, which are referred to as non-combat casualties.[1]

Specific incidents resulting from hazing

  • July 2011 Second Marine Division shooting spree.[2]
  • July 2013 Suicide of Private Kim.[3]
  • June 2014 Gangwon-do Goseong shooting spree.[4]
  • September 2015 Suicide at GP.[5]
  • 22 July 2017 Infantry Private Goh committed suicide by jumping.[6]
