JEJU, South Korea: A Jeju Island woman, who recently caused a stir in Korean society after offering to sell her newborn baby for 200,000 won (US$175 or RM725) in an online secondhand marketplace, has deeply repented for her wrongdoing, local police said on Oct 19, Yonhap News Agency reported.
Jeju’s provincial police agency, investigating the unprecedented case, said it has conducted a preliminary questioning of the single woman in her 20s and concluded that she appears to have uploaded the controversial post out of her physical and emotional difficulties after giving birth to the baby following an unwanted pregnancy.
