[이데일리 스타in 이석무 기자] Speed skater Kim Bo-reum (28), who participated in the women’s speed skating team overtaking event at the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics, filed a lawsuit for compensation for damages against fellow athlete Roh Roh-young (32).
According to law enforcement officials on the 20th, Kim Bo-reum filed a lawsuit for damages of 200 million won against Rohn Young in the Seoul Central District Court in November last year.
Kim Bo-reum insisted, “I was criticized for the remarks of Roh Sun-young, and I received psychiatric treatment for panic disorder, and the advertisements and sponsorships were stopped, which caused economic damage.”
Kim Bo-reum argued that “we trained separately at the short track training ground to prepare for the individual event,” and that “Roon-young, rather than himself, hurt the atmosphere of the team with severe profanity during training.” In this regard, it is known that a letter of confirmation of facts from colleagues and leaders was also attached.
Kim Bo-reum and Rohn-young together with teammate Park Ji-woo participated in the team overtaking game at the PyeongChang Winter Olympics on February 19, 2018. In the quarter-finals, Kim Bo-reum and Park Ji-woo came in a long time, followed by Noh Yoo-young greatly behind.
Kim Bo-reum and Park Ji-woo, who came to the fore after this game, were suspicious of deliberately abandoning their team’s senior, No. In particular, Kim Bo-reum climbed on the cutting board of controversy, saying in an interview right after the game, “I was riding well, but at the end of the game, the gap with us widened and the record came out.”
In an interview with the media during the Olympics, Roh Yoo-young argued that “there was bullying from the time of training before the competition,” and the bullying controversy seemed to be taken as a fact. More than 200,000 people have won a petition for the deprivation of Kim Bo-reum’s national representative status and the liquidation of the Korean Ice Skating Federation.
As criticisms poured out, Kim Bo-reum held an emergency press conference during the conference and bowed his head, saying, “I think many people have been hurt after seeing my interview.”
However, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, which gave a specific audit of the Korea Ice Skating Federation that year, concluded that there was no’bullying’ in the team overtaking. The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism revealed the results of the investigation, saying, “The operation that raised the goal to achieve good results has failed,” and “It is judged that the players did their best in a given environment.”
Afterwards, Kim Bo-reum revealed his feelings through his SNS. Kim Bo-reum said, “I have endured enduring and enduring countless pains. Now I want to reveal the truth. “I would like to hear the answer of Roh Roh Yeong on numerous lies and harassment at the PyeongChang Olympics.”
