For the first time at the Korea Military Academy, a sexual assault between cadets has been reported and no less than in the middle of the day.
According to an academy official, cadets had boiler-makers _ soju mixed with beer _ in the presence of a professor during an annual celebration event.
A male senior cadet became overly intoxicated, dragged one of his junior female cadets to his room and allegedly raped her.
The incident came to light after other cadets went to check on the two after detecting their disappearance. It was the first time that such an incident was reported at the academy.
The academy is dealing with the incident with alarm and is holding the two cadets under investigation.
Drinking at the academy is prohibited but allowed under the guidance of professors or senior officers.
