It is reported that the twin sisters of Lee Jae-young and Da-young, a female professional volleyball player of Heungkuk Life Insurance, who have had a tremendous impact not only in the sports world but also in society due to the controversy about school violence (hakpok), are considering legal action against the abuser. He admits to the abuse, but says that there are some errors in the contents of the disclosure, and he intends to correct them.
According to Channel A on the 5th, the sisters Lee Jae-young and Da-young met with the officials of Heungkuk Life Insurance on this day and delivered the contents. They said, “There is a right part of the disclosure, and we are reflecting on the wrong part,” he said. “But it includes things that we didn’t actually do, and because of this, the damage is great, so we are preparing a lawsuit to correct the misunderstanding.”
It is reported that they have also finished collecting related evidence. As time went on, things that were not done became true.
However, it is not known in detail who will take legal action against these sisters due to the large number of former abusers.
Shin Moo-cheol, Secretary General of the Korean Volleyball Federation (KOVO), held an emergency meeting to discuss ways to eradicate and prevent school violence in volleyball at the Korean Volleyball Federation in Sangam-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul in February, and apologize to volleyball fans and victims of harassment before briefing.

Earlier in February, controversy arose when an online community posted a statement stating that these sisters were victims of abuse. The author exposed shocking content, such as “I ordered a victim who was in the same room to do something, but refused to do so, brought a knife and threatened him” under the title of’They are victims of the current volleyball player’.
Then, these sisters posted a handwritten apology on their social media. In an apology, Lee Jae-young wrote, “I hurt many people because of the irresponsible behavior I did in the past when I was immature,” and “If my friends who would have suffered because of me now accept it, I will see you in person, admit my fault, and apologize.”

Lee Da-young also wrote, “I deeply apologize for making words and actions to have difficult memories and wounds in school,” and “I will show self-restraint and self-reflection with a deep sense of guilt.”
Despite their apology, the controversy did not subside as the parents were exposed at the time. A petition for permanent expulsion of these people appeared on the Blue House National Petition bulletin board.
In the end, Heungkuk Life Insurance punished these sisters with an indefinite suspension, and the Korean Volleyball Association decided to exclude them from the selection of national players indefinitely.
