[사회]Ki Sung-yong, who posted a post on social media of “Being a Football Life”…the reason for directing his position

[앵커]

Ki Sung-yong, a football star from the national team, was suspicious of being a sexual violence perpetrator in elementary school.

While I stubbornly denied it, it was argued that the players who were exposed as victims were the perpetrators of other cases in the past.

Ki Sung-Yong directly posted on social media and revealed that it was not related to him.

Let’s listen in detail by connecting reporters. Reporter Jo Sung-ho!

A little while ago, Ki Sung-yong directly revealed his position, right?

Please tell me about that first.

[기자]

Ki Sung-yong posted a post on social media.

The reported allegations of sexual violence were irrelevant to him, and he said it never happened.

He added that he would take legal action against anyone who made malicious comments on unconfirmed matters.

It wasn’t true that I thought it would be a problem, but I explained the reason for expressing myself, saying that I realized that it was a serious issue that threatened the life of football and the lives of my family.

[앵커]

The suspicion of being the perpetrator of another case is noisy all day against the opposition of the players who raised the suspicion of sexual violence against Ki Sung-yong.

What is the case?

[기자]

This is what Ki Sung-yong and his teammates in elementary school said in a media interview.

Mr. C and Mr. D, who claimed to be victims, were players who were involved in the sexual assault case in 2004, when they were in the third year of junior high school on the local professional club youth team.

In summary, it is known that the youth team forced the seniors to act to induce sexual shame on their juniors and were forced to transfer to school.

In addition, it was reported that the director and staff were disciplined for this incident, and Mr. D’s father, who was an executive of a local professional club, also left his job.

However, this case was separate from the case where Ki Sung-yong was designated, and was not related to Ki Sung-yong.

[앵커]

Shall we revisit the suspicion of player Ki Sung-yong exposed by Mr. C and Mr. D?

[기자]

Mr. C and Mr. D yesterday revealed through a law firm that in 2000, seniors in the 6th grade when they were elementary school soccer players in Jeonnam forced similar sexual acts.

Mr. C said that he retired while working as a professional, and Mr. D left Korea after the incident and recently returned home to work as an agent.

The real name of the perpetrator was not mentioned.

He was from the national team and said he was a star player playing in a prestigious club in the metropolitan area, but Ki Sung-yong was quickly picked up by the media.

Victims have even experienced pros, and other players, who are now college outpatient professors, have also been designated as offenders.

[앵커]

Are there any additional measures taken by Ki Sung-yong?

[기자]

When I inquired with the FC Seoul club, they said that they are still trying to figure out the facts on their own.

In a situation where I stubbornly denies, I am doing a comprehensive check by contacting the elementary school team supervisor and the principal at the time.

At the same time, it is known that they are also attempting to contact the victim.

It is expected to determine the legal response method and level by grasping the victim’s intention and reviewing the disclosure details.

[앵커]

The recent uncovered incidents have an atmosphere of increasing confusion while taking the form of a truth battle.

How will the allegations so far be cleared up?

[기자]

In the end, it seems that many cases will go to court.

Professional baseball is also suffering from school violence exposure.

A Hanwha club player, who was accused of being a gang violence perpetrator in elementary school, first made an official position yesterday.

He repeatedly stressed that it was not true and said that if he spread false information, he would take legal action.

Other incidents are likely to flow similarly.

Just looking at the suspicions related to Ki Sung-yong, 21 years ago, even if the abuse was true, he was a minor criminal at the time, and the statute of limitations has passed for a long time, and it is difficult to find evidence, making criminal punishment impossible.

Separately, there is also high public opinion that if the suspicion is admitted, it should be severely punished, as in the case of sisters Lee Jae-young and Da-young Da-young.

The player’s image can be damaged even with the content already revealed, so the player may demand compensation for damages.

In any case, there should be no school violence in the past or now, and it seems clear that the recent situation only raises awareness for future generations who are currently in school.
