Heungkuk Life, who was running at the forefront of women’s professional volleyball, faced the greatest crisis as the controversy over school violence between the twin players Lee Jae-young and Da-Young Da-young arose following the feud between the players.
It seems virtually impossible to properly play the remaining eight games of the regular league, including a visit match with the Korea Expressway Corporation on the 11th, with no sharp countermeasures.
The conflict between the players exploded, and it was revealed that the female volleyball player A tried to make an extreme choice on the 7th, which gave a big shock to the volleyball world.
Since then, the team’s signature twin sisters Lee Jae-young and Da-young Da-young were accused of school violence when they were enrolled in junior high school.
The two incidents are known as one related incident, and the atmosphere inside Heungkuk Life Insurance is turning to the worst.
Sisters Lee Jae-young and Da-young posted a handwritten apology on their Instagram accounts on the 10th and apologized to the victims of the school abuse publicly. It also revealed that he would meet the victims at an appropriate time and apologize directly.
The twin sisters, shocked by a series of bad news, left their current team quarters. He will not participate in the away game at Gimcheon Gymnasium in Gyeongbuk on the 11th.
The club plans to help the Lee Jae-young and Da-young sisters recover through psychological treatment, but it is impossible to decide when the two players will be on the court again.
The left (Lee Jae-young) and the setter (Da-young Lee) were missing, so it became clear that the team would be lame for the time being.
An official from Heungkuk Life said, “I know well that there is a demand to discipline twin sisters in connection with the controversy over the abuse,” but said, “The two players are in very poor condition, so they need to be calm.”
He added, “We judge that disciplinary action should be taken when the player is in an acceptable mental and physical state,” he said, suggesting that the protection of the player is now ahead of punishment, and that he will carefully review the level of disciplinary action.
It means that even if disciplinary action is given to players who cannot compete in the game, it is not very effective, so we will focus on protecting players first.
Heungkuk Life Insurance was evaluated as the’Absolute First’ in women’s volleyball with the addition of twin sisters and world-class giant Kim Yeon-kyung. However, due to a discord between the players, it was greatly shaken in the third round, and the recent series of bad news made it difficult to guarantee the first place.
