Heungkuk Life Insurance does not plan to pay annual salaries for both players.
We connect reporters, reporter Jo Sung-ho!
It seems that Heungkuk Life’s team has struggled for a long time over the level of disciplinary action.

Heungkuk Life Insurance came up with a policy five days after Lee Jae-young and Da-young admitted to school violence and apologized in handwritten letters.
In a press release at around 8:20 this morning, it was announced that the issue was serious and that it was decided to suspend the play for the players indefinitely.
He repeatedly apologized that school violence was unacceptable for any reason, and said that he would have to do everything he could to do, such as asking the victims for forgiveness directly along with bone-sharpening during self-sufficiency.
The club also added that it will take this event as a mirror to see if there are cases of dehumanization in the operation of the volleyball team and support all the players to grow into mature members of society.
Heungkuk Life Insurance has the national representative’twin sisters’, giving the annual salary cap this season and half the salary cap of 1 billion won.
It is known that the policy is not to pay the annual salaries of the two players who cannot compete due to disciplinary action, and it is known that there are no legal problems.
In the future, there is a possibility that the club may even claim compensation for damages suffered.
Heungkuk Life Insurance was selected as a strong champion by joining the two players and world star Kim Yeon-kyung.
Of course, he is still leading among the six women’s teams, but there was a conflict between players and a recent emergency room disturbance, and there was a’big bad news’ ahead of the 7 regular league games with the loss of the main striker and setter.

This situation is so upset that it even goes up to the Blue House national petition.
Can I say that it was settled by discipline today?

There appears to be no additional disciplinary procedure.
As you mentioned, the Blue House petition for severe punishment of the twin sisters surpassed 90,000 this morning.
The Professional Volleyball Federation has also struggled with disciplinary action against both players.
It was determined that there is no plan to open a separate reward and punishment committee.
As it has already been decided on indefinitely, it seems that there is no real benefit of additional discipline.
However, we decided to hold a countermeasure meeting tomorrow at 3 pm to discuss ways to eradicate and prevent school violence in volleyball.
Although the Federation’s disciplinary regulations stipulate serious crimes, there is no provision for punishment or punishment for school violence or social criticism.
However, the twin sisters will no longer be able to wear the Taegeuk mark.
The Korean Volleyball Association has decided to exclude both players from the selection of national players indefinitely in the future.
The selection rules for the national team are stipulated as’reasons for disqualification’ for players who have caused social controversy as unpleasant.
The disciplinary action against the two players seems to be over, but it is not clear whether the aftermath will easily subside.
As this situation became public, other controversies such as bullying rumors between players, the mother of the two players, and the suspicion of intervening in training, volleyball star Kim Kyung-hee, who played in the 1988 Seoul Olympics, are also growing.
Here, the waves are getting bigger as additional disclosure posts are posted around the online community.
Men’s volleyball OK Financial Group members Song Myung-geun and Shim Gyeong-seop revealed that they had been assaulted while in middle and high school, and the club suspended the remaining matches.
Even yesterday evening, an article was posted on the online community stating that he was a victim of school violence in professional women’s volleyball and was a junior high school player who was subjected to harsh behavior while living in a dormitory.
The author attached a photo of his/her student athlete history from the Korea Sports Association’s website, but did not disclose the school he was from and the personal information of the perpetrator.
In fact, it is skeptical that there may be professional athletes who are 100% free from the persistent culture of violence in the athletic field, holding the flag in upper and lower clothes, and spirit, so the aftermath of’school violence’ seems to continue for some time.
So far, this is YTN Jo Sung-ho from the Sports Department.
