"If our daughter's problem had been properly revealed at that time, Sukhyun would not have passed away, but now I have regrets. It was probably because Sookhyun didn't contact us for help." Team player, former mother, mother) The

voice over the handset was mixed with crying and sometimes sighed. On the 8th, the mother of the former Gyeongju City Hall team confessed her daughter's pain in a phone call after reporting the reality of the sports cartel that drove the late Choi Sook-hyun to death. On June 5, 2016, before my daughter tried to make an extreme choice, the violence, violence, and bullying that she suffered from the Gyeongju City Hall team was a battle with the late Choi Sook-hyun case. The only difference was that the reason for the harassment was that he refused to ask him to exercise while standing as a bridesmaid to perform well in the captain's athlete. That's right. The main reason why young prospects and players in the Gyeongju City Hall team suffered violence and heard violent comments was the absurd reason that they did not shut up and follow the role of the'exercise machine' to make performances for the captain and coach of the Gyeongju City Hall.

"Even if the perpetrator was not a player with good athletic performance, would the association, the Gyeongju City Hall team, and the Korea Sports Association ignore Sookhyun's complaints?" (The father of the late Choi Sook-hyun player, Choi Young-hee)


This question, which the late Sook-Hyun Choi's father asked the reporters, has a lot of meaning. The coach, exercise prescription, and captain of the assault allegedly have been arrested and will be handed over to trial. However, the reason why we believe that the perpetrator's judicial treatment will not be able to prevent the recurrence of sports violence cases is because of the reality contained in that question. There are many repeated bad precedents that the reality of our sports world is that some problems arise in the process, and that even if young players suffer and are sacrificed as a result, if the performance is good, the problems caused by the perpetrators can be covered to some extent. These bad precedents in the physical world have been stemmed, and the roots of the elite sports training method are the structure in which sports violence is growing. From February to June 25, just before his death, the late Sook-Hyun Choi complained of damage to Gyeongju City Hall, Gyeongju City Sports Association, Triathlon Association, National Human Rights Committee, and Korean Sports Association, but did not actively participate in any one of them. It is this structure that made me despair.

“Aren’t you knocking on the door where they say an agency that can protect me? But none of the six safety nets and one of the protection nets worked. How great was the despair he felt? In fact, this sports violence issue was yesterday and today. It's not a story, why does this problem keep appearing repeatedly?The severe case known to the media is the tip of the iceberg, and there are a lot of problems beneath that surface, so it is only possible to fundamentally solve the problem by changing this elite sports training system. Or the second and third victims will have no choice but to come out" (Former Chairman of the Sports Innovation Committee, Moon Gyeong-ran) The

elite sports training system that was born in the days when the number of medals in international competitions in the Cold War era was seen as national strength is no longer in the former Eastern Bloc countries. Is not the way. In this system, where the nation has created a system called sports experts, pushed out students who chose to exercise from their studies, nurtured them into'exercise machines' and forced them to live alone, leaders and athletics who had the'authority' to decide their careers Is'absolute power'. The athletes and their parents met during the interview say that it is difficult to disclose the damages regardless of any reporting system unless they are determined to quit the sport even if they are treated unfairly or if they are violated. In fact, the diagnosis that the root cause of sports violence is the elite sports training method appeared in the announcement of government-wide measures, starting with President Moon in January of last year, and at the apology press conference of the Korea Sports Council, and even promised to improve it entirely. However, when the Joint Public-Private Sports Innovation Committee, in which five vice ministers and private experts participated, issued a recommendation for the first step to allow both study and exercise to be carried out, the sports community strongly opposed it, and in the end did not take a step forward. And the late Choi Sook-hyun case happened.

Leaders who have learned through this elite sports training method are handed down to violence, but it is an'anabolism of injustice' that cannot be handled by the growing younger generation. This conflict is making young players desperate. From the perspective of sports leaders who are accustomed to the way of violence, the young athletes may be lamenting that they are weak, but it is a very wrong idea. Now, we have to accept that our society is no longer tolerating the side effects of the elite sports training method because of good grades, but the Korea Sports Association, which differs in words and actions, does not seem to have that attitude yet.


Without improving the root cause, the athletic world is despairing victims of sports violence, who have struggled with courage through'cartel'. The new fact that I learned while covering the late Sook-Hyun Choi's complaint process was that the'Civil Complaint Result Report', which was filed by the Gyeongju City Hall in February, was written in false content. The Gyeongju City Hall team is operated by the Gyeongju City Hall as a consignment to the Gyeongju City Sports Association, and the current Gyeongju Market was the Gyeongju City Sports Hall until last year. Therefore, the contents of the report on the result of handling complaints prepared by the Gyeongju City Hall are bound to be used as basic data when looking into this matter not only by the Gyeongju Sports Association, but also by the Triathlon Association and the Korean Sports Association. '. It was said that it was written by receiving statements from five players (including Choi Sook-hyun) who went through Gyeongju City Hall, and among them, there are only two players who consistently testified of the assault damage of Choi Sook-hyun.

However, when they saw their statement that Gyeongju City Hall received, both begin to state that'there was no violence or violence from the director'. When I checked with the parties, they said that the day Gyeongju City Hall received a statement, he had not spoken to the Gyeongju City Hall the same day, nor said that there was no assault by the coach. I did not know, so I went back and forth between the Gyeongju City Hall and the players who were involved, and I got the same answer. The person in charge of Gyeongju City Hall made a call to the number he had and explained that he made a statement based on that memory, but when asked why the parties did not even call the call, did they write a statement different from the ‘substance fact’. I didn't give a clear answer. Sook-Hyun Choi's complaint At the time, the coach who was training in New Zealand was contacted by Gyeongju City Hall and the triathlon association at the time, heard the truth, and delivered his position. The report prepared by the Gyeongju City Hall and the position that the coach handed down became the standard that stipulates this issue from the beginning, and later isolated the late Sook-Hyun Choi.


At the bottom of the triathlon, where there are few managers and players nationwide, the intertwined power of connections was enough to drive a young player. According to the minutes of the Gyeongju City Hall Operation Committee meeting held on the 2nd of last month after the death of Choi Sook-hyun was known, the Gyeongju Sports Hall and the committee members did not ask about the fact of the assault, but rather died. Choi Sook-hyun had mental problems and habitually lied. It is written in the way that it is judged as something. It shows how the power of the cartel has concealed the case.

The cartel, which is entangled in sports associations and athletic meets all over the country, is still strong. So, in the case of sports violence investigation, the Sports Innovation Committee recommended that the Investigation Organization should introduce an'exclusive investigation right', which excludes all persons related to sports organizations like the United States from the early stages of the case, and also has the right to discipline, but this was not accepted. This is the reason why experts point out that the Sports Ethics Center, which was launched prolongedly due to the delay in passage of the law in the National Assembly for more than a year, was launched this month, but there are many limitations in playing a role in uncovering the real truth through the sports cartel without exclusive right to investigate and discipline.

The assault of the perpetrators, which the police in charge of mentioning that the police in charge said it was "fine 20,000 won to 300,000 won" in social public opinion, outraged by unreasonable violence, was subject to arrest and trial. It remains to be seen what judgment the judge will make, but one thing is certain: the elite sports system and athletic cartel that'raised' such perpetrators were again indulged. It was a news report that felt frustrated about how younger athletes must suffer and appeal before taking action to solve the underlying problem.
