The Korea Professional Baseball Players Association asked KBO to impose strong discipline on Kiwoom Heroes, who harassed players with'gap'.
The athletes' association issued a statement and said, "We regret that we are forcing professional baseball players to play a so-called'baseball game' despite the continuing controversy, and we strongly demand that we stop hitting and unscrupulous instructions immediately."
KBO asked for "Keewoom Heroes, who trample on the rights of professional baseball players and deceive professional baseball fans, to conduct a thorough investigation and to impose severe discipline."
"We can't help but be amazed by the behavior of Kiwoom Heroes, who has summoned their players for personal purposes and instructed them to practice catchball and batting several times. Despite controversy many times, we are angry at the situation where we are struggling." I emphasized it.
"The act of monitoring a professional baseball fan and collecting personal information illegally is an act of betraying the professional baseball fan, and the act of insisting the player to find out the fan's personal information separates the fan and the player and further breaks the trust relationship. "It is an act of dropping."
Lee Taek-geun, who was released from Kiwoom after this season, submitted a disciplinary request to the KBO, saying that the club gave an unreasonable instruction to inspect the fans on closed circuit (CC) TV and investigate the fans.
However, Kiwoom's team denied that "I have never inspected fans or gave unreasonable instructions to Lee Taek-geun," and said, "I checked the CCTV for security reasons. There were few questions from Lee Taek-geun as a personal curiosity, but I did not ask for related details." I refuted.
