In addition to the testimony of the informant who claimed that he was raped in elementary school by soccer player Ki Sung-yong (FC Seoul, 32), the’PD Notebook’ said.
MBC’s’PD Notebook’, which aired on the 16th, released a face-to-face interview with Mr. A, who raised the suspicion of sexual assault of Ki Sung-yong, and reported that there was a testimony that he had seen it at the time.
The’PD Notebook’ said, “There is another testimony that he saw Ki Sung-yong sexual assault,” he said. “However, it was revealed that he wanted it to be released in court and respected it, and it is not sent out on the broadcast.”
Mr. A, who raised the suspicion of sexual assault on this day, said in an interview with the’PD Notebook’, “It was really hard to get to this position while working at the construction site until now.” If I’m lying, I’ll let go.”
As for the background behind the belated reporting, Mr. A said, “I actually got a lot of courage while watching Lee Jae-young and Lee Da-young incident. We were the perpetrators, but we also wanted to show courage to the part that had been damaged.”
He added, “I couldn’t talk about it at the time because I was told to quit (soccer), so I couldn’t play sports.

Mr. A and others said, “We talked with a miserable and terrible heart,” and said, “It lasted for at least 6 months. When the sports news was over, the lights were turned off. (At the camp) It only happened in that place every time,” he explained, explaining the structure of the camp.
In response, Ki Sung-yong’s legal representative said on the broadcast, “The victim is insisting not to sue. The victim’s side is rather sitting on a needle cushion,” he urged. At the same time, he added, “I will of course ask for legal responsibility” for defamation.
On the 24th of last month, attorney Park Ji-hoon (current law firm) disclosed the allegation of the victims that Ki Sung-yong raped his juniors A and B at an elementary school soccer club camp in Jeollanam-do from January to June 2000.
Regarding this, Ki Sung-yong said the next day, “There was no sexual assault when I was in school. I bet my football life. I decided to mobilize everything and respond strongly,” he dismissed the suspicion, but the battle continues.
