Former coach Jo Jae-beom, who is imprisoned for sexual assault against Shim Suk-hee, mentioned the text conversation between Shim Suk-hee and the national team coach during the Pyeongchang Olympics in the 'attorney's opinion' submitted to the court.
A conversation released by an Internet media outlet was shocking.
Through text messages, Shim Suk-hee made fun of Kim A-rang and Choi Min-jung, a junior, and even insulted them.
In addition, there was a content that even doubted the intentionality when he collided with Choi Min-jeong in the 1,000m final.
As the scandal grows, the Ice Skating Federation will remove Shim Suk-hee from the national team training and World Cup roster and investigate the background of the abusive language and the suspicion of an intentional collision.
[Korea Skating Federation official:
First of all,
it seems that the decision was made for this purpose, that it is necessary to separate the athletes because of the issue of harmony between the athletes and this part.]
Shim Suk-hee passed the representative selection first place and was qualified to participate in the Olympics. However, it is unclear whether he will join the Beijing national team in a situation where he has to play with Kim A-rang and Choi Min-jung, who are victims of profanity.
Meanwhile, Shim Seok-hee completely denied the allegation of intentional collision, saying, "I apologize to my colleague who must have been shocked and apologize for hurting him."
