Midfielder Ki Sung-yong, who is active in professional football FC Seoul, announced a legal response to the alleged sexual assault.
Ki Sung-yong said, “I have appointed a lawyer for legal response” after finishing the 2nd round of the 2021 K League 1 Suwon FC match held at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 7th. He said, “I think it is correct to disclose the part with the best possible effort, and I am preparing to respond in depth and stubbornly by consulting with an attorney anytime.” He added, “Even if someone doesn’t talk, I want to reveal the facts first.”
Ki Sung-yong also expressed his confidence, saying, “As you saw today, there is no burden at all,” even regarding the concern that legal battles lead to poor performance.
On this day, Ki Sung-yong helped Na Sang-ho’s goal in the second half of the 6th minute against Suwon. This is 11 years and 3 months after the game against Jeonnam Dragons on November 21, 2009, and is also the first attack point Ki Sung-yong raised after returning to the K-League last year.
Meanwhile, Park Ji-hoon of the law firm Hyun’s lawyer, who raised the suspicion of sexual violence by Ki Sung-yong, said in an interview with the media that “we are waiting for a lawsuit to come in.”
He added, “Of course, it should come out that way,” he added. “I think it’s not okay to go overboard, and I have the confidence to reveal the truth in court.” In addition, he stressed, “We can only reveal evidence when Ki Sung-yong sues us for defamation,” he said. “We are waiting for a lawsuit to clarify the truth.”
“We are not doing this to embarrass Ki Sung-yong,” he explained. “The victims hope that Ki Sung-yong will apologize with sincerity.” Still, he added, “However, since Ki Sung-yong’s side is screaming, he is forced to (contest in court).”
Earlier, attorney Park revealed to the media last month that they were raped by Ki Sung-yong and his colleagues in elementary school. The day after the suspicion was raised, Ki Sung-yong insisted innocent, saying, “If you have evidence, bring it with me.”
Attorney Park said, “There is definite evidence,” and “Please sue now. I will present evidence in court,” and on the 1st, he urged, “Let’s stop the wasteful public opinion fight and cover the truth in court as soon as possible.”
