<![CDATA[Bullying is a social phenomenon that frequently occurs across various levels of society, including educational settings that should serve as spaces for human character development. The high prevalence of bullying cases in Indonesia indicates that acts of intimidation remain a serious issue, particularly for women who are more vulnerable to psychological pressure. The Korean drama The Glory explicitly depicts various forms of bullying against female students, making it relevant to be analyzed through a pragmatic perspective. This study aims to explain the types of verbal bullying speech acts against women in The Glory, the forms of utterances used, and the resulting psychological impacts. This research employs a qualitative-descriptive method with data collected through observation and note-taking of utterances in the film containing verbal bullying. The data were analyzed using Searle’s speech act theory and the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldana, while data validity was ensured through triangulation of methods, sources, and instruments. The findings show that verbal bullying speech acts include directive, representative, assertive, and expressive types. The forms of verbal bullying comprise shouting harshly, threatening and intimidating, mocking and belittling, and using degrading nicknames. The psychological impacts include anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, social isolation, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This study emphasizes that speech act analysis in films can serve as an educational medium to raise public awareness of the dangers of verbal bullying against women.]]>
