[Herald Muse = Reporter Kim Min-ji] Netflix has released the main poster and trailer for its series True Education (Korean title: 「참교육」), raising expectations for the debut of the School Authority Protection Bureau.
True Education centers on a bureau that stands with victims and pushes back decisively against students, teachers, and parents who have crossed the line, depicting the team’s relentless effort to restore a fractured education system.
The poster shows the four members of the bureau striding down a school corridor littered with broken glass and overturned desks, a striking image that invites questions. Na Hwa-jin (Kim Mu-yeol) wears a composed smile that contrasts with the chaos; Choi Kang-seok (Lee Sung-min) watches the rear with a solemn expression; Im Han-rim (Jin Ki-joo) faces forward with resolute eyes and a wry expression; and Bong Geun-dae (Pyo Ji-hoon) tightens his fist.
Each member’s distinct presence deepens curiosity about how this team will coordinate to protect victims in a collapsing school environment.
The main trailer, released alongside the poster, heightens engagement by staging a fast-paced, head-on clash between an out-of-control school environment and the bureau.
Led by Choi Kang-seok, who established the bureau to root out the “monsters” wrecking schools, the team includes supervisor Na Hwa-jin, who takes a hands-on role in special oversight; Im Han-rim, sent in under the watchword of meeting madness with madness; and Bong Geun-dae, who uses his youthful looks and awkward charm to infiltrate schools. Their bold, personality-driven approach to enforcing real accountability drives the series.
Yet students brazenly misbehave and some parents interrupt lessons—almost as if to mock the bureau’s declaration, “From today, the Korean School Authority Protection Bureau will give this school a real lesson.” Opponents calling for the bureau’s abolition also surface, signaling a difficult road ahead.
That tension is short-lived. Choi Kang-seok delivers a sharp rebuke—“Don’t interfere with sacred compulsory education. We won’t stand idly by”—and Na Hwa-jin, Im Han-rim, and Bong Geun-dae proceed to deliver real education until wrongdoers truly comprehend their mistakes, promising a satisfying, cathartic payoff.
With the fresh premise of a fictional government bureau tasked with protecting schools, Netflix’s True Education offers a blunt, restorative story about reclaiming the classroom. The series premieres exclusively on Netflix on Friday, June 5.
