[서울신문] ‘Rebuttal to refutation’…Revelator D, “Ki Sung-yong’s’Malicious Editing’

Rebuttal to the disclosure of excerpts from Sung-Yong Ki’s lawyer’s call

Mr. D, who revealed that he was sexually assaulted by Ki Sung-yong during the elementary school soccer club, claimed that Ki Sung-yong’s lawyer on the 19th had maliciously distorted and edited the contents of the call between him and his junior E. Mr. D said in the training file distributed on the day through his attorney, Park Ji-hoon, “Ki Seong-yong’s side applied tenacious condolences and pressure to me through various routes. It is true that I had a stupid mind, “Will you make the case no one?” He added, “In the process, I consulted with lawyer Park, and as a result, I decided that it was not only for me to reveal the truth, but it was necessary to break the link of bad habits in the Korean sports world.”

Mr. D repeatedly insisted on Ki Sung-yong’s sexual violence in an interview with MBC’s’PD Notebook’ that aired on the night of the 16th. Then, the next day, Sung-yong Ki’s deputy lawyer Song Sang-yeop released a partial excerpt of the call between Mr. D and Mr. E, which was made immediately after the initial disclosure on the 24th of last month. The content was such that there was no conviction or threat of Ki Sung-yong, or that attorney Park proceeded to disclose arbitrarily without consent. However, Mr. D said, “Ki Sung-yong’s lawyer cut the front and back of the conversation I had with Mr. E, and edited it maliciously, distorting the facts as if I was being dragged by Mr. Park. He refuted. He also added, “I clarify that all press releases and recording files distributed by lawyer Park on my behalf to the media were distributed with my intention and with my consent.”

Meanwhile, Ki Sung-yong’s side plans to file a lawsuit by next week at the latest, so the argument was transferred to court.
