Il Goo-hoe (Chairman Yoon Dong-gyun), an OB group for professional baseball, announced that the KBO Sang-Bol Committee actively supported the imposition of a two-month sanction on the chairman of Kiwoom Heroes Heo Min.
Ilguhoe made a statement on the 29th, saying, “Keewoom or Chairman Heomin can actually file a legal suit. At that time, not only Ilguhoe but all fans who love baseball will be with KBO.” “You have to realize that it can bring about a strong fan resistance.” In addition, Ilguhoe said, “I strongly warn Chairman Kiwoom and Heomin that they will not use the KBO League as a’baseball playground’ again,” and said, “I hope that this will not damage the value of the KBO League anymore.”
Earlier, in June of last year, the scene of catch ball and batting practice against second-team players outside of the official training at the club’s training ground was disclosed through a broadcaster’s report, which caused controversy. In addition, suspicion was raised that the club viewed closed-circuit (CC) TV to find the informant after the report of the’GapJil Controversy’, and requested information about the fan who filmed Chairman Huh’s pitching video from the player. In particular, the controversy grew when veteran outfielder Lee Taek-geun submitted a’request for disciplinary damage to the dignity of the Kiwoom club and officials’ to the KBO at the end of last month.

Accordingly, KBO held a reward and punishment committee in the office building in Dogok-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul on the 28th, and said, “By acting inappropriate and unnecessary as the chairman of the board of directors, it caused social controversy and damaged the value of the KBO league. In accordance with Article 1,’Special Cases concerning the Authority of the Governor’, sanctions were imposed on the two-month suspension of duties for the’gap-jil dispute’. In addition, regarding the suspicion of’fan inspection’, he urged Kiwoom Heroes Club and General Manager Chi-Hyun Kim to take strict warning measures in accordance with Article 151 of the Baseball Rules, and to prevent recurrence of similar cases.
KBO said, “The Kiwoom club has abandoned the professional sports obligation to put fans first, and disrupted the league order by destroying the basic trust relationship between the club and players.” In addition, Kiwoom said that the sanctions were decided based on the statement that Kiwoom in March declared,’If a serious issue occurs that damages the value of the league in the future, we will respond strongly within the scope set by the KBO rules.’ On the 30th, the Kiwoom club expressed its position to take legal action against the KBO’s disposition, saying, “We will be judged by a judicial authority.”

Ilguhoe, a corporate judicial entity, actively supports that the KBO Reward and Penalty Committee imposed a two-month sanction on Chairman Kiwoom Heomin for suspension.
In June of last year, Chairman Heo Min raised controversy over the so-called’baseball game’, putting players on the plate and throwing the ball at Kiwoom’s Futures Stadium. Last month, Lee Taek-geun, who retired from Ki-woom, submitted a’disciplinary request for dignity damage to the Ki-woom club and its officials’ to the KBO. Insisted that he gave instructions.
Professional sports based on box office hits cannot exist without fans. Nevertheless, Kiwoom broke the trust between the players and the fans by searching for fans and making the players aware of the fans’ intentions. In addition, players’ rights and interests were also violated, such as mobilizing players to play baseball.
Although it caused such a problem, Kiwoom indicated that if he disciplined Chairman Heo Min, he would not kill the legal suit. Not only the foundation (fan) of professional baseball, but also a single word to apologize for the wrongdoing was not heard. Therefore, KBO did not give in despite the difficulties arising from the legal suit, disciplined Chairman Heo Min, urged him to prevent recurrence, and imposed severe warning sanctions on the Kiwoom club.
There is a reason that KBO, who had only punished with a cotton bat called’Godjung Warning’, responded strongly to problems related to raising. Governor Jung Un-chan said, “The Kiwoom club has abandoned the professional sports obligation to put fans first, and has disrupted the league order by destroying the basic trust relationship between the club and players.” In other words, it means that the value of the KBO League, which has been developed through the efforts of the club, the team, and the people involved in the love of the fans, is no longer damaged.
The disciplinary action of the KBO, or Chairman Heo Min may actually bring a legal suit. At that time, I have no doubts that I believe that all fans who love baseball will be with KBO as well as Ilguhoe. The lawsuit will soon bring strong resistance from the baseball world and fans, and Chairman Kiwoom and Heo Min should realize.
We strongly warn Chairman Kiwoom and Heo Min that they will not use the KBO League as a’baseball playground’ again. Also, I hope that this opportunity will not damage the value of the KBO League anymore.
