Heo Min Kiwoom, chairman of the board of directors, played baseball while throwing a knuckle ball against Kiwoom 1st team players in the field training, visiting the 2nd team stadium, and grabbing a player who was about to leave.
It wasn’t until the last day of 2020 that I apologized belatedly, a year after the suspicions first came up.
Chairman Heo Min said, “I apologize to the baseball officials and fans for the controversy lately,” and said, “It was a very inappropriate and inconvenient act.”
He also promised, “We will withdraw from the position to seek legal judgment on the disciplinary action of KBO, and will only stick to our original role after the suspension period.”
KBO went through the reward and punishment committee and imposed a two-month disciplinary action on the chairman of the Board of Directors Heo Min on the 28th.
Instead of accepting the discipline, Chairman Heo Min confronted the club by saying, “I will receive legal judgment.”
The gaze of baseball was cold.
Ilguhoe, a group of professional baseball elders, first stepped forward and condemned it, and the Professional Baseball Players Association said, “Chairman Heomin’s attitude is a matter to consider even when leaving the league.”
“The governor made a decision, but if the judiciary judges this, it hasn’t happened in professional baseball for 40 years, but it doesn’t seem like this… (Chairman Yoon Dong-gyun) was late, but thanked for accepting the will of our baseball.”
Kiwoom, holding a white flag, held the board of directors without Chairman Heo Min, and appointed Huh Hong, former CEO of NHN Services, as the new CEO.
Kiwoom, who has left the manager’s position vacant due to uncomfortable team circumstances, is expected to speed up the appointment of the new command tower.
