[이형석 리플레이] It is an Avengers-class asset, but risk management is negligible… The sinking of Heungkuk Life

Heungkuk Life Insurance’diagnosed’ the problem. However, he could not quickly come up with a’measure’. Inconsistent with the brand of Heungkuk Life Insurance,’risk management’ was not carried out at all, and it sank itself.

From before the Lunar New Year holiday and until the end of the Lunar New Year holiday, Heungkuk Life has been suffering from measles due to internal conflicts and controversy over the past school violence of the players.

Even before the start of professional volleyball, Heungkuk Life’s popularity hit the sky. Hyundai E&C setter Lee Da-young was recruited as a free agent (FA), and the twin sisters Lee Jae-young and Da-young played in one team. Soon after, Kim Yeon-kyung, the world’s best striker, added. Three of the most popular women’s volleyball players gathered.

Heungkuk Life Insurance was known as’Heung Vengers’, which is a reference to the superhero movie’Avengers’. It was full of rosy prospects such as’Woo Heung (Heungkuk Life)’ and’Undefeated Winner’. It continued its unstoppable march with 10 consecutive wins from the opening and 14 consecutive wins until last year. Until the 3rd round, he scored the top 5 viewership ratings, sweeping his grades and popularity. It was a price that gave wings to the rising trend of women’s volleyball, which has grown rapidly in recent years.

Now it is the opposite position.

There was a discord within the squad. The team started to shake. The player said, “It is true that there was an internal problem. I think that any team has internal problems.” However, the situation did not improve afterwards. Eventually, one player is known to have attempted an extreme choice on the 7th.

And the suspicion of violence in the past of’Twin Sisters’ by Jaeyoung Lee and Dayoung was confirmed as true. On the 10th, the two players posted a handwritten apology and said that they sincerely apologize to the victims by reflecting on their wrongdoings while in school.

Heungkuk Life Insurance also has no choice but to be absurd when it comes to the’hakpok’ issue. This happened long before the two players joined the pros, and it is unlikely that the club was aware of it in detail.

However, additional victims emerged amid the club’s lukewarm response. On the 13th, Lee Jae-young and Da-young’s sisters”Another Victim’ of the abusers said, “Why do you have to be in a state where you can accept discipline? It will come up.” The club previously stated, “Lee Jae-young and Lee Da-young are in a very poor condition, so they need to stabilize their mind and body.”

For the two players, Heungkuk Life Insurance does not present any stance on whether to participate in the game in the future or to discipline. The Korea Volleyball Federation (KOVO) does not have disciplinary rules related to’hakpok’, and the disciplinary action of the Korean Volleyball Association, which is in charge of amateur volleyball, applies to the national team. Earlier in the Korean professional baseball, the club’s own disciplinary action was also carried out on the issue of ‘hakok-pok’ as an amateur. In the end, the club must make a decision on the controversy over the’hakpok’.

Heungkuk Life seems to have raised anger. It all started with a discord within the squad. Clubs and coaches are responsible for this. Having a strong personality, the most popular female volleyball player in one team, only chasing results and pretending to be unaware of internal conflicts gradually increased the work. I left the players to explain, but the club did not move actively.

Heungkuk Life Insurance tried to overcome the dissonance by taking on the achievement of’running first place’. However, until recently, conflicts were easily seen on the court. The player complained strongly on the court.

Conflicts among players lead to worsening team atmosphere. Eventually, a bigger problem broke out, and grades were also falling. Heungkuk Life Insurance has never missed the lead since the opening with 50 points (17-6) as of the 14th. However, second place GS Caltex (45 points) is chasing hard.

Lee Jae-young and Lee Da-young are uncertain about the remaining business trips. In fact, it should be considered difficult. 7 games remaining in the regular season. On the 11th, the most recent game, Lee Jae-young and Lee Da-young did not appear on the pitch, and they lost with a set score of 0-3. The content was even worse. They were defeated by 16-25, 12-25, and 14-25. The game time was only 1 hour and 8 minutes, and the minimum game time this season was lost.

I missed the’Golden Time’ to deal with the situation, but even now, it is only possible to touch the victim’s heart by actively working on the situation. It is also an important’reward’ to appease the wounded fan spirit of fans who have supported Heungkuk Life. There is no’guarantee period’ here.
