[Report File] "I joined the national team to apologize directly"

At the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympics, Choi Min-jung and Shim Suk-hee, who wentssip about Kim A-rang, who were teammates at the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympics, joined the national team after two months of suspension.

It wasn't easy to open the doors to the athletes' village.

When he reached the front door, he couldn't take his foot off him.

Shim Suk-hee's father said, "When I saw the truck protests against her return to the village in front of her, Seok-hee broke her heart. She cried endlessly and was overcome with fear."

She was in tears in the car for an hour.

She couldn't overcome the pressure and even told her team, Seoul City Hall officials, that she wanted to give up on moving to the village, but after her father's long persuasion, she got out of the car and struggled to step forward.

And she handed the reporters a letter saying, "I'm sorry, I'm having a hard time talking right now."

She was an entrance door with an 'apology message' to deliver to Choi Min-jung and Kim A-rang.

She was going to apologize as she read the entrance door in person in front of the camera, but she couldn't because of the tears she had spilled.

The following is the full text of the entrance statement.

Hello.

This is Shim Seok-hee, the national short track speed skater.

First of all, I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely apologize for causing shock and confusion to the people, fans, officials, and reporters who have given me a lot of interest and support.

I thought that an apology with the person concerned was more important than making an apology through the media without any apology or dialogue with the person concerned.

And after a long discussion with my team, I decided to join the national team, and I felt that I was given an opportunity to express my sincere feelings.

I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely apologize to A-Rang Kim and Min-Jung Choi.

Also, I sincerely apologize to the members of the national team who suffered a lot because of me before the Beijing Olympics.

I would like to congratulate and thank the short track team athletes for their best performances despite the difficult circumstances.

In October of last year, although the written opinion written by the accused to assert his innocence rather than evidence during the second trial of sexual violence was released to the media due to another crime of illegal leakage ahead of the final Supreme Court ruling, I criticized the team members at the time. is clearly my fault.

I bow my head and apologize.

It will be difficult in the future, but I will do my best to make the team members unite, even if I make sacrifices.

Also, I would like to express my sincere apologies and thanks to KB Kookmin Bank and NIKE, who have always supported and supported me since I was a child.

I will never forget your heart for supporting me and cheering me on all this time.

Thank you very much.

Lastly, I sincerely thank those who believe in me and support me.

I exist because of them.

With strength and comfort, we will once again have the courage to move forward.

thank you.

Shim Seok-hee's father explained in detail why he joined the national team to SBS reporters on behalf of his daughter.

"It is clearly Seok-hee's fault for blaming her teammates. I should apologize directly to Choi Min-jung and Kim A-rang, but I haven't been able to meet them until now. I intend to follow the opinions of my colleagues and coaches so as not to harm the team.”

On the other hand, public opinion is still cold.

Fans were outraged that the perpetrator and victim could not be separated.

'How do you run together with the perpetrator who deliberately pushed a fellow player out of fear?

The ice skating federation should protect the victims'.

This is a phrase written by fans at a truck protest.

In addition, the Ice Skating Federation, which stood by and denounced it as a 'perpetrator'.

From the gossip of a teammate to the suspicion of an intentional collision, the 'victim' Choi Min-jung's heart is still firmly closed.

He shed heavy tears as he recalled the difficult times at the Beijing Olympics.

He complained of extreme stress before the Olympics, and before joining the national team, he sent an official letter to the Korea Ice Skating Federation.

'We ask the Ice Skating Federation and the national team to prevent a specific athlete from personally approaching or attempting to meet Choi Min-jeong with an apology, and to prevent unnecessary contact and contact at places other than training.'

He has publicly stated that he does not want to meet Shim Suk-hee outside of official training hours.

Choi Min-jung's wounds still haven't healed.

The two players joined the national team side by side on the 2nd without the 'gritty relationship' resolved.

We meet again after 5 months in the first 3 days training.

However, even if Shim Suk-hee apologizes, unless Choi Min-jung opens her heart, it seems difficult to restore the relationship between the two players.

Shim Suk-hee, who wants to apologize, and Choi Min-jeong, who were both physically and mentally injured , are expected to continue their

until the World Championships that start on the 18th.
