Consult well and prepare… Please wait a little longer”
Attorney Park Ji-hoon “Awaiting the lawsuit
You can’t go overboard… I will reveal the truth”
Eventually, the likelihood of the truth being found in court increases.

Ki Sung-yong, a soccer player who was suspicious of sexual assault when he was in elementary school, appointed a lawyer for legal response. Attorney Park Ji-hoon, who raised the suspicion, said, “We are waiting for a lawsuit to come in.”

After the match against Suwon FC held at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 7th, Ki Sung-yong said, “I want to be the first to reveal the truth even if no one else has to say it.”

He said, “I am preparing by consulting well with the attorney in order to respond strongly and with depth,” and “I hope you will wait a little longer.”

He added, “There will be a lot of games in my football life in the future, and as you have seen today, there is no burden or difficulty on my performance with this job.”

Attorney Park Ji-hoon, the legal representative of those who claim the damage, also showed confidence in the court battle.

“We are waiting for a lawsuit to come in,” Park said through the media. “Of course, it should come out like that. “I think it’s not okay to go overboard, and I have the confidence to reveal the truth in court.”

As a result, there is a high possibility that the truth of the suspicion of sexual violence surrounding Ki Sung-yong in the past will be investigated in court.

Earlier, it was revealed that Ki Sung-yong committed sexual violence to his juniors when he was in elementary school, and as the controversy grew, Ki Sung-yong said in a direct press conference, “It is completely irrelevant. In the future, without mercy, the legal response will be immortal.”

Since then, attorney Park asked Sung-Yong Ki to “file a lawsuit as soon as possible.” It is explained that it is impossible to file a criminal complaint as the statute of prosecution has already been completed.

Attorney Park said that it is difficult to disclose the evidence in terms of’protection of moral rights’. He said, “The evidence will be provided to Ki Sung-yong in court.” In the evidence that we have secured, many people other than Ki Sung-yong and the victims appear. Even in terms of protecting their moral rights, please understand that it is difficult to disclose evidence to the public.”
