A couple of seniors from Uijeongbu High School uploaded Friday on SNS some yearbook photos they took to satirize the scandal that K-pop star Park Yoo-chun is embroiled in.

One photo shows a student dressed as Mickey Mouse standing in front of a sign that says, “Women’s bathroom. Mickey, do not enter.” Park went by the stage name Micky when he was a member of boy band TVXQ.

A student in another photo is wearing a Mickey Mouse T-shirt and holding a toilet cover, making a reference to the alleged sexual assaults that Park committed in bathrooms.

Park was accused in June of sexually assaulting four women in bathrooms in separate incidents.

But not everyone approved of the photos.

Some fans of Park assert via Twitter and online communities that these photos are libelous and that the students should not have posted photos about an ongoing issue that has yet to reach a verdict.

Others assert that the photos are not libelous, as the investigation of Park for sex crimes has already been made public.

Uijeongbu High School has garnered public attention every year for the last six years, as its seniors uploaded on SNS their graduation photos, in which students dress up in unique costumes and parody public figures.
