Jae-hwan, who became the new emperor of the throne by winning a surprise gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics, was arrested by the police in December last year for beating a taxi driver asking for his destination while intoxicated.
Shin Jae-hwan, who was briefly indicted and fined after reaching an agreement with the victim, did not receive any disciplinary action from the association despite harsh criticism.
The Korean Gymnastics Association is in the position that Shin Jae-hwan, who belongs to Jecheon City Hall, cannot be punished because it happened after the call for the national team was lifted.
[Yang Gu-seok / Secretary General of the Korea Gymnastics Association: We do not have the authority to discipline.
Since he is not a national team player, he belongs to the local area.
It will be dealt with in principle by the Chungbuk Gymnastics Association or the Chungbuk Athletic Association.]
However, the Chungbuk Athletic Association and the Chungbuk Gymnastics Association, which have disciplinary authority, do not even discuss disciplinary action.
In the end, Shin Jae-hwan decided to participate in the preliminary round of the Hangzhou Asian Games this week.
[Jecheon City Hall official: ((Shin Jae-hwan) plays all six sports?) Yes.
I jump.
I run, but I focus on the chopping board.]
The ripple is expected to grow as the national team challenge opens without any disciplinary action against the player who commits a drunken assault.
