Ki Sung-yong exposed to’junior rape’… “No practical work, no legal response”

In volleyball and baseball, controversy over sports schooling spread to football. Veteran midfielder Ki Seong-yong (32, FC Seoul), who served as the captain of the Korean national football team, was named as the perpetrator. When suspicions were raised that he had raped a junior in the soccer team several times in elementary school, Ki Sung-yong insisted on the facts and uncovered a tough response policy including legal action.

On the 24th, C2Global, who is in charge of the management of Ki Sung-Yong, said, “As a result of checking with the player himself, it was confirmed that it was not related at all to the content that the party claiming the damage said. “We will not only take legal action against damage that has been stigmatized by this controversy, but also possible damage in the future.”

On this day, lawyer Ji-hoon Park (Hyun Law Firm) claimed that “C and D, former soccer players, were sexually assaulted and assaulted by seniors A and B several times a year at an elementary school soccer club in Jeonnam in January to June 2000. Has designated A as a star player from the national team who recently joined a prestigious club in the metropolitan area, and B as an outpatient professor at Mo University in Gwangju. D is working as a football agent.

As the speculation that’A is Ki Sung-yong’ spread through information such as the school of origin and age, the national team history, and the team belonging to the metropolitan area, Ki Sung-yong’s side denied this through an official announcement. C and D say “I want a sincere apology first.”

Professional basketball star E was also named as a harassment. One-year junior F, who played basketball in junior high school with him, claimed that he was assaulted from time to time personally as well as in groups. E said through his team, “I reflect on the fact that I gave my juniors a bite, but I never personally used violence. F, a former shot put player, weighed more than 100 kg at the time. It’s impossible to assault (I’m smaller than that).” The team said, “E and F’s arguments are contradicting and are being objectively reviewed.”

It was also revealed that the former and current boxing national team G and H committed abuses. The informant claimed that in 2013 when they were in high school, G and H forced their juniors to drink 1.5 liters of yogurt and then beaten their abdomens. Both players were suspended from school for this, but they graduated from high school. G is the 2014 Asian Games medalist and current national team. The Korean Boxing Association said, “We are grasping the background and discussing the matter, including discipline.”

Meanwhile, he explained that the suspicion of abusing related to player I of Hanwha Eagles in professional baseball was unfounded. J, who claimed to have been gang assaulted in elementary school, previously claimed that “I was among the perpetrators.” Lin, a law firm that reviewed the allegations, said, “I was confirmed that there was no action claimed by J through the testimony of the homeroom teacher, friend, and baseball team member.”
