There are complaints from professional volleyball players about past school violence. Like the’Me Too’ movement that gained social sympathy, stories that were suppressed by the victims voicing themselves are now coming out of the world one by one. Today (16th), “I heard the news that a school violence perpetrator had joined, and I protested against the club, but was ignored.” As the problem grew, the President also issued a request to “work to eradicate violence from school to the entire process of national representation.”
First, reporter Sanghyuk Moon.

“I will dance at the funeral home.”
The revelation that the volleyball player committed school violence came out today.
In an article posted on the Internet bulletin board, the victim confessed, “I was subjected to continuous verbal abuse for 3 years in elementary school by a new volleyball player who joined last year.”
I told the club about this twice, but when I heard the answer of “Agree directly”, and when I filed a complaint with the Volleyball Association, the club claimed that it had contacted the club “for evidence”.
The club said that the player has been playing volleyball since high school, so it is difficult to confirm the facts.

The victim, who complained that her cruel memories have continued to this day, burst into anger when she heard from the abuser’s mother, “If my daughter stops playing volleyball, your panic disorder will disappear.”
“I had my fellow players put their heads on the floor during the middle school camp.”
Another victim’s older sister, who spoke of school violence yesterday, revealed a message from the abuser that contained the contents of “Is it true without a lie?” and appealed to stop the’second offense’.
Foreign media also paid attention to the daily’athletic abuse controversy’, starting with the controversy over school violence between the national representatives Lee Jae-young and Da-young Da-young.
The British Daily Mail pointed out that although Korea is a sports powerhouse that ranks in the top 10 in both the Summer and Winter Olympics, in the fiercely competitive Korean society, victory is all about sports and physical and verbal violence is spreading.
