He said, “I bet my football life,” he said. “I decided to respond strongly by mobilizing everything necessary for the suffering families.”
He then emphasized, “Everyone who has made malicious comments on unconfirmed matters will also take legal action.”
Ki Sung-yong said, “I ran to this place with a passion for football,” he said. “It wasn’t true, so I thought there was nothing wrong with it, but I realized that it was a serious issue that threatened the life of football and even the lives of my family.”
He added, “I will not be left behind and will respond actively.”
