Volleyball Federation’s Permanent Expulsion Policy for Hakpok Competents…

The Korea Volleyball Federation (KOVO) has announced that it will create a new rule to permanently expel players who have committed school violence. However, Lee Jae-young and Lee Da-young are expected to be excluded from the application of this regulation, as they will not apply retroactively.

On the 16th, KOVO held a’Emergency Countermeasure Meeting for the Elimination and Prevention of Violence in Volleyball Schools’ in a conference room in Mapo-gu, Seoul, and made this announcement.

In the meantime, in accordance with Article 10 of the Athlete’s Human Rights Protection Committee, KOVO has allowed permanent expulsion only in cases of rape, similar rape, equivalent sexual violence, or serious sexual assault.

KOVO Secretary General Shin Moo-cheol said, “In the case of a rookie draft, we will receive a pledge related to school violence, and if the contents of the pledge are found to be false, we plan to impose severe punishment such as permanent expulsion.”

Secretary General Shin Moo-cheol said, “This is a strong will to completely evict players who have committed school violence from the professional stage.”

In the future, rookie players must submit a school violence pledge that has been confirmed by the school principal at the time of the draft. If the information is found to be false, the athlete will be permanently expelled, and the school will take relevant measures, such as withdrawal of school support funds.

In addition to the establishment of related regulations, KOVO decided to establish a victim reporting center, education on eradication and prevention of school violence, and campaigns to eradicate school violence.

However, it has been decided not to apply the relevant rules to players who have already been known to have been committed.

Secretary General Shin Moo-cheol explained, “The relevant rules will take effect after the establishment of the new rules,” and “It is difficult to impose relevant discipline on players who have already been found to have been inflicted.”

Accordingly, four players, including Lee Jae-young and Lee Da-young of Heungkuk Life Insurance in the women’s division, and Myung-geun Song and Kyung-seop Shim, of OK Savings Bank in the men’s division, will not be subject to permanent expulsion at the federation level.

Some netizens are protesting, saying that KOVO’s measures are actually taking care of Lee Jae-young and Lee Da-young.

This incident began when a revelation about Lee Jae-young and Da-young Lee was posted on an online community.

Earlier, in an online community, an article was posted saying, “These are the current volleyball players who are victims of school abuse. Author A said, “It’s been 10 years, so I thought about living with it, but I couldn’t think of the actions that the perpetrator had done, and I saw the posts on social media and wrote with courage, hoping that the memories of that time would pass and look back at myself.” “There are a total of 4 victims who write, and there are more than these people.”

Mr. A described 21 cases of the victims of school bombing. It was shocked by forcibly walking money, swearing the victims and their families, as well as forcing them to “borrow” or physically assaulting them.

Mr. A said, “The perpetrator asked the victim who was in the same room to do something, but when he refused it, he brought a knife and threatened him.”, “(The perpetrator told the victim) that it was dirty, smelled, and told him not to come next to him. I always swear and swear to my parents by calling them’Nine X Me, X Rain’.”, “After the exercise, the victims had to take care of the perpetrators’ protectors or lens barrels, but if they forget it, they say,’I’m looking for it now, but if it doesn’t come out, I lose X. We have listed specific examples such as “I did”.

In addition, Lee Da-young posted a post on SNS while shooting her senior Kim Yeon-gyeong, referring to the article, “The bully may be fun, but the bullied wants to die.” “It’s so upset and embarrassing that I posted such a post while I went to another school as if running away without showing an apology or reflection.”

Lee Da-young and Lee Jae-young left their team after posting an official apology on social media on the 10th when the history of school violence committed against a colleague as a middle school player was revealed.
