Ki Sung-yong (32, FC Seoul), a former national team member who was suspicious of sexual assault as an elementary school student, made a direct statement today (25th).
Ki Sung-yong said on Instagram this afternoon, "I don't think I really need it. The content of the reported article has nothing to do with me. That never happened."
He said, "I bet my football life," he said. "I decided to respond strongly by mobilizing everything necessary for the suffering families."
He then emphasized, "Everyone who has made malicious comments on unconfirmed matters will also take legal action."
Ki Sung-yong said, "I ran to this place with a passion for football. It wasn't true, so I thought it wasn't a problem, but I realized that it was a serious issue that threatened the lives of football and even my family."
He added, "I will not be left behind and will respond actively."
Earlier, C and D, who were former soccer players, revealed that they were sexually assaulted in elementary school by A player in the metropolitan area who had experience as a national team in the past and Mr. B, who also experienced pros, through Park Ji-hoon of the law firm.
Ki Sung-yong, who was accused of being a perpetrator, said through an agent and club yesterday that "there is no such fact" and "we will take legal action".
