Professional volleyball swayed by school violence controversy

Recognized for assaults by Jae-young Lee, Lee Da-young, Myung-geun Song and Gyeong-seop Shim
Additional disclosures on handwritten apples and public apples
KOVO lacks grounds for punishment in pre-draft cases
Disciplinary concerns considering public opinion and player protection for each club

The professional volleyball V-League, which was solidifying its position as a popular sport in winter, is staggering as the controversy over school violence between Heungkuk Life’s sisters Lee Jae-young and Da-young Lee, the men’s OK Financial Group’s Song Myung-geun, and Shim Gyeong-seop’s school violence.

The team belonging to the player who has been designated as the perpetrator is struggling to prepare follow-up measures such as disciplinary action. There are also criticisms that the lukewarm response of the club has rather fueled anger in a situation where other clubs are also wary of the spread of controversy, such as conducting a thorough investigation to see if there are any other clubs involved. The twin sisters Lee Jae-young and Lee Da-young have left the team’s quarters with a handwritten apology immediately after suspicion arose on the 10th. However, it is uncertain whether a return to normal court will be possible as further exposure surrounding them continues.

Immediately on the 13th, the victims of abuse in their middle school years said, “Why should the club be in a state where they can accept their disciplinary action?” “If you wait for the silence, then things will come up one by one.” Warned. Another community was urged for severe punishment, saying, “Parents did not know at all” through an article titled “I am a parent of volleyball victims.” As the situation is like this, Heungkuk Life Insurance is also struggling with the disciplinary level, saying that he is taking the situation seriously. Heungkuk Life Insurance, who has left seven games until the rest of the season, is in a position to consider all of the performance, discipline and prevention of recurrence of these players, and protection of psychologically unstable players.

The situation is similar for the men’s OK Financial Group. The club immediately apologized when allegations of abuse were raised against Song Myung-geun and Shim Gyeong-seop. Song Myung-geun said he would not compete in the game in the future as a means of apologizing and reflecting. However, victim A showed a negative position, saying that sincerity was not accompanied. Mr. A argued that the apology should be the way the person receiving the apology wants it, not the way the perpetrator wants it.

It is known that other clubs have hurried to conduct a full investigation as controversy arose. KEPCO announced that it has confirmed that there is no related to school abuse through its own thorough investigation. With negative public opinion, the Korean Volleyball Federation (KOVO), which oversees the V-League, is paying attention to the club’s disciplinary movement. It is also worrying that the grounds for punishment for what happened during the school life before the draft were not adequate because of the federation-level discipline. Some refer to severe disciplinary action, such as the twin sisters’ disqualification from national representation. Article 11 of the National Team Selection Regulations stipulates the reason for disqualification as a’player who caused social controversy through unsavory behavior’. There is a growing interest in the decision of the Korean Volleyball Association to the twin sisters.
