According to the sports world on the 20th, a post was posted on the social network service (SNS) Instagram on the previous day, stating that he was bullied and bullied in elementary school by a prospective player A of a professional baseball team.
In the post, the author said, “After I transferred to an elementary school in Gwangju when I was in 4th grade, I was severely bullied so that I had to write the expression that I was bullied by the whole grade.” Eventually, he couldn’t bear this and transferred to school in the sixth grade.
According to the author, A player prevented the author from being trapped in the trash cleaning box along with violence and violent abuse, and also used group assault. The author said, “Player A also participated in the act of assault, and from this memory, he is still taking medicine for depression.”
He wrote that he found the name of A, who became a baseball player, saying, “Recently, the past school violence of celebrities has been revealed, and in case, I looked for the school I went through one by one.”
He said, “It’s one of the indelible names out of the countless names that bothered me.” Meanwhile, the real name and face of the perpetrator were also disclosed.
However, the club denied the controversy. The team said, “We are closely grasping the facts,” and said, “If it is confirmed to be true, we plan to take it seriously.”
According to the club, in an interview with the club, A denied allegations of abuse. However, the club said that it was about 10 years ago, so it is seriously checking the facts with the possibility that the memory may have been distorted.
Earlier in professional volleyball, it was revealed that Sisters Lee Jae-young and Da-young of Heungkuk Life in the women’s division and Song Myung-geun and Shim Gyeong-seop of OK Financial Group in the men’s division were the perpetrators of abusive violence.
