Hyun Joo-yeop, a former basketball player, has completely denied the allegations of school violence that have been raised recently.
On the afternoon of the 14th, Hyun Joo-yeop denied the’abusive suspicion’, saying, “There was no personal violence,” through his SNS (social network service) account.
Hyun Joo-yeop said on his Instagram, “When I was a child, I also frequently received group sports, and it is true that the discipline was strict not only for basketball at the time, but also for all athletes. At that time, because I was the captain, there was a thing that gave my juniors a fool. I am very sorry and apologetic to my juniors for that, so I take this opportunity to express my sincere apology.” He said, “There was absolutely no personal violence”.
“Most of the disclosures are not true. He said, “I think that unjust victims should no longer occur through malicious conspiracies, so I will ask an investigative agency to clarify the truth.”
On this day, an article titled’Hakpok Jinsil of Mr. H’s best basketball player of the day’ was published in an online community.
The author, who introduced himself as a junior who had worked out together at school, revealed that while in school, Mr. H had harassed and assaulted his juniors. He asked, “I sincerely apologize and hope that I will not appear on the air in the future.” The post is rapidly spreading online.
The wave is growing as Mr. H, who exercised school violence, is presumed to be Hyun Joo-yeop after information that he has a father who ran a business with a mother of a basketball player from a national university.
