Those who revealed that they had been sexually assaulted in elementary school by midfielder Ki Sung-yong (32, FC Seoul) from the national soccer team expressed their intention to openly say, "The evidence is sufficient and clear."



Attorney Park Ji-hoon of Hyun Law Firm, the legal representative of those who claim to be victims, repeatedly insisted that everything revealed two days ago in a press release today (26th) is true.



Attorney Park said, "We have sufficient and clear evidence," he said. "In order to protect the minimum personality of Ki Sung-yong, we try not to submit this evidence except for Ki Sung-yong or his club in principle."



However, he also opened the possibility of revealing evidence, saying, "If the immoral behavior of Ki Sung-yong continues, it will inevitably be revealed."



"There was pressure from Ki Sung-yong," Park said in a press call. "Now, both C and D, victims, agreed to submit evidence to the club."



Previously, attorney Park released a press release on the 24th and revealed that C and D, former soccer players, were raped by seniors A and B in January-June 2000 while they were in soccer at an elementary school in Jeonnam.



According to Attorney Park, the perpetrator A is a star player from the national team who recently joined a prestigious club in the metropolitan area, and Mr. B, who has been a professional player for a short period of time, is currently working as an outpatient professor at a university in Gwangju.



When the report came out, Ki Sung-yong was named as the perpetrator A player.



Ki Sung-yong's management company immediately denied the facts and announced a tough response.




Ki Sung-yong also rebutted on his social media (SNS) yesterday, saying, "I don't think it's really necessary. The content of the reported article is irrelevant to me. It never happened. I risk my football life."



He added, "I thought it wasn't true that it would be a problem, but I realized that it was a serious issue that threatened the lives of football and even my family.



Accordingly, the revelation party came back in one day.



Attorney Park gave an example, saying, "C and D even remember things in great detail that could not be known if they had not experienced it in person."



Meanwhile, attorney Park admitted that it was true that claims that C and D were school violence perpetrators in middle school through the internet soccer community.



Attorney Park said, "C and D acknowledge all the school violence they committed in 2004 and sincerely apologize to the victims". "However, through a thorough investigation, both C and D have been severely disciplined and punished." He drew a line saying that this is not the essence of the issue.
