Allegations of false statements made by NC players in professional baseball are growing. The quarantine authorities revealed the results of the epidemiological investigation saying that the players hid the drinking party that lasted until dawn.

It turned out that the drinking party of 4 NC players and 2 outside women, which started on the night of the 5th, continued until dawn.
[Jung Soon-gyun / Mayor of Gangnam-gu, Seoul: Four baseball players attended the event from 10:00 to 4:21 the next day, and two outside acquaintances stayed in the hotel room from 11:11 to 4:17 a.m. the next day… .] In the
end, all five people except for the vaccine recipient Park Min-woo were confirmed with Corona 19, leading to the suspension of the league.
The quarantine authorities consider it a big problem that the players did not mention this drinking party in the epidemiological investigation.
In the epidemiological investigation, of course, it is necessary to ask whether there is contact with the confirmed person, but the 3 NC players did not tell the first epidemiological investigation, which caused confusion in quarantine even though they already knew that 2 outsiders who drank together were confirmed.
[Jeong Soon-gyun / Mayor of Gangnam-gu, Seoul: We have to figure out how the confirmed case was confirmed so that the number of confirmed cases can be minimized.]
However, during the first investigation, the NC players said that they did not answer any questions about the day they had a drinking party.
The KBO will hold a reward and punishment committee for NC players for violating quarantine rules tomorrow (16th), and will review additional disciplinary action once the police investigation regarding false statements is completed.
