– The suspicion was raised that the informants who claimed to have been sexually assaulted by Ki Sung-yong (32, FC Seoul), who was a one-year senior in the soccer team when they were in elementary school, were rather the perpetrators of sexual violence in another case.
Posted on social media on the 25th to claim innocence

On the 24th, the informants said, “I was sexually assaulted by seniors A and B in the soccer team during my elementary school days through lawyer Ji-hoon Park (Hyun Law Firm). A has become a star player from the national team, and B has revealed that he is serving as an outpatient professor at a parent university in Gwangju. Although the informants did not include Ki Sung-yong’s name, they implied that he was actually Ki Sung-yong through information such as the school from which he came from, his age, national team history, and the team belonging to the metropolitan area.
As the controversy amplified, Ki Sung-yong expressed a strong position through his management company, saying, “The claims of the informants are unfounded, and we will legally respond to damages that may occur in the future as well as current damage such as image deterioration.”
In this regard, it was argued that C and D, who reported the damage caused by Ki Sung-yong, were the perpetrators who raped their juniors in middle school. A footballer who joined the middle school soccer team along with C·D said, “When C and D were in their third grade, they violently committed sexual violence against their juniors, causing a great commotion. He made him touch his penis, forced him to masturbate, and even took his money. It was a noisy incident that was reported in the media at the time.”
The team was a youth team affiliated with a local professional soccer team, which led C and D out of the soccer team. C moved to another school and continued his dream of becoming a soccer player, and D went to Brazil to study soccer. It is known that D’s father, who was working as an employee of the pro team, resigned from his position due to this.
The footballer who reported the past of C and D was embarrassed to see that D, who is currently working as an agent, stated that he was suffering from trauma and went abroad after being raped (by Ki Sung-yong). If you were thinking of the victims of the incident you committed, you shouldn’t have lied like that.”
In this regard, an official from the professional soccer team said, “It is true that an unpleasant incident occurred in the affiliated youth team in 2004.” “We cannot verify the identity of the perpetrator and the victim, but the incident caused several players to leave the team and some of the club staff It was a cluttered atmosphere, such as taking responsibility for negligence and resigning,” he testified at the time.
The suspicion that the victims of sexual assault were the perpetrators of another case was raised, and the credibility of the original report was questioned. Ki Sung-yong consistently draws a line saying, “I am not related to the sexual assault case,” and is constantly participating in team training.
Ki Sung-yong emphasized innocence by directly revealing his position through his SNS on the 25th. “I don’t think I need a long word. The content of the reported article has nothing to do with me. “I can talk about my football life,” he said. “I will mobilize everything necessary for my suffering family to respond hardly.” “We will also take legal action against those who made malicious comments on unconfirmed matters. We will respond positively without being left behind.”

This is Ki Sung-yong.
I don’t think I need a long word. The content of the reported article has nothing to do with me. It has never happened. I bet on my football life. We decided to respond strongly by mobilizing everything necessary for the suffering families. In fact, anyone who makes malicious comments on unconfirmed things will also take legal action.
I ran all the way here with my passion for football. It wasn’t true, so I thought there was nothing wrong with it, but I realized it was a serious issue that threatened the lives of football and even the lives of my family. We will respond positively without being left behind.
