Professional volleyball in the 2020-2021 season, which is to be heated by a fierce ranking fight, is sinking after encountering the reef of school violence.
On the 10th, after the problem of school violence between the twin sisters Lee Jae-young and Da-young of the women’s division, Heungkuk Life Insurance, was raised, this time, the male’s OK Financial Group left Song Myung-geun (28) and Shim Gyeong-seop (30) were also revealed as school violence perpetrators. Amid the controversy over volleyball school violence, fans’ disappointment grew, and the Korea Volleyball Federation (KOVO) was also contemplating their disciplinary level.
On the 13th, when the controversy over the sisters Lee Jae-young and Da-young did not subside, A’s article was posted on a portal site saying that they were victims of school violence from two players, and a stir was raised. Mr. A said, “The perpetrators had a testicular suture surgery at a critical spot.”
OK Financial Group said, “Song Myung-geun and Shim Gyeong-seop were involved in school violence. We apologize for disappointing all of our fans.” The club said, “The perpetrator apologized to Mr. A by text message,” but Mr. A said, “I cannot admit, cannot accept, and feel uncomfortable with a nonsense statement and apology.” On the 14th, Song Myung-keun said, “It’s all true. I am a school violence perpetrator. It is true that he has committed an act that can never be forgiven.” When Shim Gyeong-seop expressed the same intention, the club accepted and decided not to participate in the remaining games.
In addition, additional disclosures about the sisters Jae-young Lee and Da-young were followed. Mr. B, who met her sister in the 6th grade of elementary school, added, “It was very severe to do the dormitory life as you pleased.” Mr. B also mentioned the mother of twin sisters, who were former volleyball players, and said, “It was usual to talk to parents when they could not do their own way in the dormitory. Even when they did something wrong, they told their parents that they were often scolded as a group.” Mr. B said, “I couldn’t live together anymore, so I ran away through the mountain next to it in a year and a half. I just wanted to play volleyball, not to support someone.” Mr. C, who said he was the parent of the victim, said, “I heard the sound of the phone call from my sister’s mother, Mr. Kim, to his daughter.” Insisted.
Fans’ gaze on professional volleyball is cold as the problem of players’ school violence rises one after another. KOVO, in an emergency, decided to cooperate with the Volleyball Association to find an education plan to eradicate school violence, but among fans there are voices that strong disciplinary action is needed against the players. In the case of professional baseball, Ahn Woo-jin (Kee-woom), who was involved in school violence, was severely punished for being suspended for 50 games, and Kim Yoo-seong, who was first nominated for NC, was withdrawn, resulting in severe punishment, such as being frustrated with pros.
Both Heungkuk Life Insurance and OK Financial Group’s clubs are saying that they are seriously aware of the situation, but they have deep concerns about the level of disciplinary action. The decision is difficult because the club must consider both discipline, prevention of recurrence and protection of players.
First of all, there is a high possibility of disposition of’suspension of remaining matches’ this season, but it is possible to point out the effectiveness of disciplinary action from outside. KOVO is also worried about the fact that the punishment criteria are unclear as there is no precedent in the event. Heungkuk Life Insurance and OK Financial Group have a home game ahead on the 18th, so there is a high concern that other players in the team will be criticized if the response is delayed.
