[자막뉴스] 9 months ago…’Chinese naturalization’ Lim Hyo-jun revealed late

Lim Hyo-jun, a short track gold medalist at the PyeongChang Olympics, said on the 6th that he had only thought about how to stand on the ice again and decided to’naturalize to China’.

I heard that I couldn’t even train anywhere in Korea for the past two years due to the case of junior harassment.

However, it was confirmed that Lim Hyo-jun completed the naturalization procedure 9 months ago.

As of today, in the official Gazette of the Immigration and Foreign Affairs Office in Seoul, it is announced that Hyojun Lim, born in 1996, lost his Korean nationality in June 2020.

In terms of timing, it has been one year after the forcible harassment case of lowering the pants of a junior broke out, and immediately after receiving a fine of 3 million won in the first trial.

In November of last year, he was acquitted at the second trial, but he had already lost his nationality.

Im Hyo-jun was rejected once while trying to leave the country earlier this month.

It is reported that I am a Chinese citizen, but I did not receive a separate permission to stay, so my period of stay in Korea became’illegal sojourn’ and I was subject to penalties.

Lim Hyo-jun left Korea last week after twists and turns, and according to China’s local quarantine guidelines, self-isolation is required for at least three weeks.

China will play the national team for the three-day Olympic season starting on the 8th of next month, and it is unclear whether Lim Hyo-jun will compete here.

On the YTN call, several officials in the ice industry pointed out that Hyo-jun Lim was aware of the so-called “three-year rule” that he could not play as the representative of China for three years after naturalization, and that he signed a contract as a playing coach from Hubei Province of China, not from the China Ice Skating Federation.
