Yes, it is listed in the Korean Volleyball Federation.
About an hour ago, after an emergency response meeting, the Volleyball Federation announced a response to the recently controversial school violence.
The key issue is that players involved in school violence have no way of becoming professional volleyball players.
The Federation says that players who have been heavily involved in school violence and sexual crimes in the past are completely excluded from participation in the new player draft.
When participating in the draft, athletes must submit a school violence pledge that has been confirmed by the school principal.
If this pledge is found to be false, the athlete will be subject to severe discipline, such as permanent expulsion.
In addition, the school is subject to disadvantages such as withdrawal of support funds.
However, further legal review is required to determine whether there is any violation of human rights in the part of the provision of this pledge.
The Federation announced that it plans to set up a’victim reporting center’ that allows anonymous reports with the Korean Volleyball Association, and that it will provide education to eradicate and prevent school violence with the club.

If so, what are the disciplinary actions the Federation can do against players who admit to school violence?

Yes, many of you may have been curious about the federation’s punishment for the twin sisters Lee Jae-young, Lee Da-young, Song Myung-geun, and Shim Gyeong-seop, who admitted to school violence.
As a result, punishment at the federation level seems difficult.
Currently, the federation does not have a clear set of rules for dealing with past athletes’ school violence.
Therefore, the Federation decided to establish a new regulation by referring to Article 10 of the Regulations of the Athlete Human Rights Protection Committee.
Even so, it is true that it is difficult to retrospectively apply the new regulations to school violence that has occurred in the past.
Even if new rules are made, not all school violence can be punished.
Disciplinary action is possible for school violence that has occurred since the regulation was made.
Currently, when a player is involved in school violence, it is bound to rely solely on the discipline of the club and association.
So far, the Korean Volleyball Federation has delivered it. ([email protected])
