While private gatherings with more than 5 people were banned due to the third spread of Corona 19, controversy is expected as it is revealed that 5 people including some female volleyball players and officials gathered to eat. According to the report on 〈Hankyoreh〉 on the 13th, a foreign player from a female club in professional volleyball uploaded a photo of a member of the club and foreign players from other clubs eating together at their hostel on the 9th on their SNS account. Deleted soon. A volleyball fan who discovered this reported it to the safety newspaper, and the quarantine authorities ordered the community center to strengthen guidance activities along with the player management request to the relevant agencies. The photo in question contains two female volleyball players, an interpreter, and the foreign player’s boyfriend who took the photo. There are also 5 food and wine glasses, so it is estimated that 5 people ate together. The clubs admit that the five members gathered, but they are clarifying that they were not together for a long time. In the picture, the official of the club belonging to the player said on the day, “It is true that the player stopped by for a while, but I took a picture and came out immediately.” Another official from the club also said, “It is true that we went to the meeting because we are close to each other, but we quickly left our seats.” “I paid attention to follow the quarantine guidelines to prevent recurrence.” Despite the club’s clarification, it seems difficult to avoid social criticism for this incident. At the end of last year, due to the Corona 19 infection by the broadcaster’s broadcast cameraEnemies whose league has been suspended until the 4thDespite this, there is no excuse for having a private meeting that violates the quarantine guidelines. At the end of last year, it was a problem that six players from Changwon LG (LG) of professional basketball had a drink, so the club officially apologized and was imposed a 10 million won sanction from KBL.
