[스포티비뉴스=김민경 기자] Lee Jae-young and Lee Da-young (25, Heungkuk Life), who led the women’s volleyball box office, were no exception. School violence is a problem that Korean society takes seriously.
The controversy over school violence broke out on the 10th. On a portal site, an article titled “These are the current volleyball players victims of school violence.” The perpetrator was written anonymously, but there was a clue that could be assumed to be the sisters Lee Jae-young and Da-young Lee. It is known that the time of school violence was in middle school students.
The informant said, “It’s been 10 years, so I thought about living with it, but the perpetrator couldn’t think of what he had done, and when I saw a post posted on social media recently, I remembered it. There were a total of four victims. At the time, the perpetrator and the victim shared the same accommodation, but the perpetrator prevented the victim from eating, stolen money, and even committed physical violence.
When the controversy grew, the twin sisters admitted to the fact and wrote an apology by hand. Lee Jae-young and Lee Da-young said, “I will reflect on my youthful behavior, sincerely apologize to the victims, and live with self-restraint and reflection.”
Heungkuk Life Insurance Club also emphasized, “The players are regretting for their wrongdoing as a student. I sincerely apologize to the victims who were hurt by the actions of their players.” , I will do my best to manage players in the future.”
However, it became difficult to close the controversy with an apology. Even volleyball fans who supported the twin sisters are turning their backs and demanding discipline. Together with Kim Yeon-kyung this season, Heungkuk Life was the first in the regular season, and in January of last year, they led Korean women’s volleyball to advance to the Olympics for the third consecutive time. The Blue House national petition has even appeared.
The club is likely to move first. Lee Jae-young and Lee Da-young are now leaving their dormitory to get their mind and body. The club is seriously aware of the situation of school violence, and has announced that it will decide on discipline soon.
It is also of concern that it may lead to the disqualification of the national representative. Article 11 of the National Team Selection Regulations specifies the reason for disqualification as’a player who caused social controversy through unpleasant behavior’. There is a growing interest in the decision of the Korean Volleyball Association to the twin sisters.
The baseball world has been punishing players with a history of school violence. NC Dinos withdrew the nomination of pitcher Kim Yoo-seong, who had been selected as the first nomination in August last year, and Kiwoom Heroes punished pitcher Ahn Woo-jin, who was selected as the first nomination in 2019, for suspension of 50 matches. Both players were confirmed to have committed school violence after nomination. Ahn Woo-jin was permanently disqualified from the national team after receiving a three-year suspension of qualification from the Korea Baseball Softball Association.
It was before he came to the professional stage, but the main opinion is that discipline is inevitable. It is unclear when the twin sisters will be able to put on their uniforms and stand on the coat again. Heungkuk Life Insurance, who invested 1 billion won in twins, and the national team aiming for the Olympic medal, have become complicated in many ways.
