New developments in the story of the Suncheon principal who stabbed himself.

About three weeks ago we read about an elementary school principal in Suncheon who was in some trouble because of an affair with a teacher. Following a meeting at the local Office of Education he drove to Gwangju to the house of a reporter and stabbed himself in the stomach. Well, the reporter has been arrested and his wife booked without detention for extortion and character defamation. Though the news articles didn't mention particulars at the time, it now has come out that the reporter wanted 25,000,000 won as hush money.

I found these lines this morning in an article from July 2nd I didn't see at the time:

한편 이 학교 운영위원회는 A교장이 지난 5월30일 전국소년체전 출장을 마치고 돌아오다 체육담당 B 여교사와 벌교소재 한 모텔에서 학교 법인카드를 사용하는 등 부적절한 관계를 맺어왔다며 A교장의 전보 조치를 요구했다.

A교장은 생일을 맞아 B교사가 마련한 케이크만먹고 나왔다고 해명한 것을 알려졌다.

The school says he went to a motel in Beolgyo with the teacher before their required trip to the National Junior Sports Festival held in Jeollanam-do, was up to no good, and paid with the school's credit card. He says they went to the motel to eat birthday cake. I'm still confused about some points, though, and don't fully understand this paragraph from today's article:

A씨 내외는 지난달 중순쯤 순천시 한 커피숍에서 순천 모 초등학교 교장 B씨가 자신의 아들 여자친구이자 같은 초등학교 교사인 C씨와 부적절한 관계인 것을 알고, 이를 협박해 2천 5백만원을 뜯어낸 혐의를 받고 있다.
