Police launched an investigation into a kindergarten in Bupyeong, Incheon for the physical abuse of four-year-old children.

Police were told that a 25-year-old kindergarten teacher, identified as Kim, punched several students during class, officials said on Sunday.

CCTV footage that police secured reveals Kim punches or slaps nine or 10 students.

Kim confessed to police that he punished certain students who were under performing in learning the Korean language and drawing.

Other staff members of the kindergarten are also being questioned for possible physical abuse of children.

This is the second case of alleged child abuse at a kindergarten this week.

On Thursday police arrested Yang, a 33-year-old teacher working for a kindergarten in Songdo, Incheon, for slapping a four-year-old girl after finding out that the student did not eat much of her food.
