– Heungkuk Life’s’twin sisters’ Lee Jae-young and Da-young Lee (above 25) were indefinitely deprived of the status of national representatives of the female professional volleyball Heungkuk Life, who had been exposed to the fact of committing school violence (hakama) in middle school.
On the 15th, Yonhap News quoted an official from the Volleyball Association and announced that it had decided to exclude Lee Jae-young and Lee Da-young from the future selection of national players indefinitely.
Left Lee Jae-young and setter Lee Da-young, who played together at Jungsan Elementary School in Jeonju, Gyeonghae Girls’ Middle School, and Myeongsang Girls’ High School, played an active part in the 2019 International Volleyball Federation (FIVB) Volleyball Nations League, Tokyo Olympic Qualifiers, and Asian Final Qualifiers.
The Volleyball Association repeatedly pondered over the discipline of the two players who played a decisive role in advancing to the finals of the Tokyo Olympics as well as the core of the national team. Following the working-level meeting on the 14th, the meeting was held on the morning of the day, and it was decided to be deprived indefinitely.
Prior to the Tokyo Olympics, the association decided on severe disciplinary action in terms of “a punishment for improper behavior as a national player, although power loss would be large if the two of the main players were excluded.
An official of the association emphasized, “The association plans to cooperate with the Korea Volleyball Federation (KOVO) on future countermeasures,” and emphasized, “We will also strive to provide education to prevent recurrence of school violence through the Human Rights Center.”
His club, Heungkuk Life Insurance, previously punished sisters Jae-young Lee and Lee Da-young for’indefinite suspension of their participation’. Heungkuk Life Insurance said, “Jaeyoung Lee and Lee Dayoung admitted that there was school violence in middle school and apologized.”
Heungkuk Life Insurance added, “I am sorry and deeply responsible for causing disappointment to all who love volleyball with this incident.” “School violence is something that should never happen and is unacceptable for any reason.”
Broadcasters also took immediate action. The two players have been deleted from TVN’You Quiz on the Block’, E channel’Playing Sister’, Channel A’Icon Tact’, etc. An advertisement video for Kia Motors was also released.
