We're told that a man's mother left for good when he was a child, and that his father was away from home much of the time due to having to work a lot. The father feels that his son was neglected and believes that the son was permanently damaged by the childhood malnutrition caused by having to take care of himself to a large extent. So it's more a question of neglect than of abuse as such.

Some fighting amongst family members. They kick and hit each other while grieving.

The US Army basically gaslights the whole of Korea by saying there's a virus when there isn't one. A U.S. doctor admits this in front of Gang-du, assuming he won't understand, but then the other doctors proceed to operate on him anyway.

I don't remember seeing it happen explicitly, but considering what happens to lots of people in the movie, there must be bones breaking all over the place. Also, we see a whole pile of human skeletal parts.

I did jump: after the incident, when they first show the disinfectant cars patrolling the river, two men gets out of one of the cars. One goes close to the river, and when he turns back towards the car, the monster suddenly swings down and eats him. There're a few other instances when the monster acts as a minor jumpscare, but at least it doesn't have the cliche loud horror-music jump.

It is more like a secret fuckedup military hospital, not a mental hospital, but it is disturbing. But they are continuously insulting the protagonist guy's intelligence or mental state, while he's there

The main character is called demented and implied that many think he is dumb or crazy. He is violent and takes a hostage in the pursuit of getting away from his captors.

Gang-du is all but stated to have some kind of developmental disability due to poor childhood nutrition. Other characters repeatedly call him stupid for his lapses in judgment. Gang-du's father chastises them for calling him stupid.

Hard to say what kills the people who fall into the river or are dragged under water. People go in water, people die; if it's not drowning, it's something else. There are no close-ups of people drowning, there are no underwater shots, and I'm pretty sure we don't see someone struggling to come up for air.
