A man smacks a student in a hockey suit with a hockey stick.
This time, he slaps the head, then slaps the ass again with swear words.
[야, 아이스하키 관둬 이 XX야.]
After this video was released, the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education gave an audit, and it was confirmed that A, a high school ice hockey coach in Seoul, routinely assaulted players at the training grounds from 2018 until recently.
[피해 학생 학부모 : 아이스하키 채는 기본이고요. 주먹으로 얼굴을 강타한다든가, 발로 막 차고 이런 것도 있더라고요.]
As a bait for the selection of the U-18 youth representative, the situation was also confirmed, asking the parent representative to raise money and receiving cash from some parents.
It was determined that over two years from 2018, the amount of money received in this way exceeded 60 million won.
[피해 선수학생 학부모 : 팀이 어렵다든가 뭐 어디 가야 한다, 신입생 스카우트하러 가야 하는데 돈을 달라, 이런 식으로 (금품을) 요구했어요.]
Mr. A attended the School Steering Committee last month and complained of resentment that he was freed from charges in the last prosecution investigation.
[전용기/문화체육관광위 소속 의원(더불어민주당) : 감독(코치)이 회유를 이미 다 해놓은 상황이었기 때문에 증거 불충분으로 풀려난 사안입니다.]
The Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education asked the police to investigate the charges of frequent assault and violation of the’Prohibition of Solicitation Act’, and requested that the school be dismissed.
In addition, in response to the negligence of the management of the sports department, the school corporation demanded disciplinary action by the principal and vice principal.
