The controversy over school violence between the twin sisters Lee Jae-young and Da-young (25), female professional volleyball players in Korea, is spreading. Social network services (SNS) and online communities also expose victims of abuse in the past. As social enmity grew, President Moon Jae-in also made a stance on the absurdity of the sports world over the last two days on the 15th and 16th.
文, bitter voice towards the sports world for 3 consecutive years

President Moon said at a state council meeting held at the Blue House on the 16th, “If we forget, we are sorry for the recurring cases of assault, abusive speech, sexual assault, and sexual assault by the sports world. He said, “Please make special efforts in the departments and institutions.” One day ago, at the ceremony for the awarding of the appointment letter of the Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism, Hwang Hee, ordered a special effort to eradicate the absurdity in the field of sports.
However, to the general public, President Moon’s abusive message is also’repeated if it is forgotten’.

“If we forget, we are sorry for the repeated incidents of physical assault, violent language, sexual assault, and sexual assault”
“Please make special efforts to eradicate violence from school to the entire national course”
Two years ago, in January 2019, when the facts of the sexual assault of former short track national coach Jae-beom Cho were revealed, President Moon criticized the athletic world, saying, “It is our shameful appearance that has been hidden in the splendid appearance of Korea, a sports powerhouse.” At a meeting of the Blue House Chiefs and Aides, “This time, thorough investigation, investigation, and severe punishment must be carried out for fundamental improvement and qualitative growth of our society.” We need to review and improve it entirely.”

“The cruelty and assault of athletes is an old legacy that no words can justify.”
“The sports world must escape from the old and backward behavior that has been practiced.”
In June of last year, when Choi Sook-hyun of a triathlon (three types of iron) suffered from harsh behavior and made an extreme choice, he again pointed out the problem of violence in the sports world. President Moon pointed out at the state council that “harshness and assault against athletes is an old-world legacy that cannot be justified in any word,” and that “the sports community must escape from the old and backward behaviors that have been practiced.” At the time, President Moon also instructed Choi Yoon-hee, the second vice minister of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, to take care of the sports rights issue directly.

“Continuous testimony of violence and sexual violence in sports is a shameful appearance of Korea, a sports powerhouse.”
“The sexual supremacy and elite sports-oriented nurturing method should be thoroughly reviewed.”
Countermeasures are sluggish despite successive messages

However, despite President Moon’s subsequent message, the success of the follow-up measures was sluggish. Deputy Minister Yoon-hee Choi, who received special instructions from President Moon on the issue of sports rights, got off after one year in office. Former Vice Minister Choi, who declared support for President Moon Jae-in at the time of the 2017 presidential election, was evaluated for being unable to exert control over the organization on the tag of “parachute treasurer” throughout his term. The’Sports Ethics Center’, which opened in August last year to fundamentally improve human rights violations and corruption in the sports world, was also engulfed in my heart shortly after its launch. Suspicion of irregularities in hiring, suspicion of abusive speech and mischief have been raised. As a result, the victim’s social media exposure throws a stronger message than the President’s repeated remarks.
“We need to resolve the tangled interests in the sports world first”
Experts point out that irrationality cannot be overcome by rhetoric (investigation) that is far from reality. Professor Jeong Yong-cheol of the Graduate School of Education at Sogang University said, “It is the time when a prospective structural reform is needed for elite sports in Korea, where violence is bound to be repeated, but the government’s will to implement it is lacking, and the Korea Sports Association to lead it is also united with a sense of comradeship among elite sportsmen. “I pointed out. He added, “I only put the urge to prescribe a poisonous drug, but I am not interested in what changes are occurring in the sports field, such as the sports club at the front line, where absurdity is emerging.”
Yun-soo Lee, professor of physical education at Dankook University, said, “The wrong practices that were prevalent in the past are being revealed through social media as the times change, but system improvement is still in place.” He said, “When an incident breaks out, the talk of making new regulations and reforming the system level is repeated, but the countermeasures poured out due to the entangled and complex interests within the sports world are difficult to reflect in reality.”
