A claim has been raised that a player from the professional soccer K League 2 Gimpo FC youth team (U-18) made an extreme choice after being bullied within the team.



Yesterday (2nd), a petition titled 'Please save my son' was posted on the Blue House public petition bulletin board.

Petitioner A wrote, "My son, a player on the Gimpo FC youth team, fell and died on the 4th floor of the soccer club's dormitory on the 27th of last month.



He continued, "He was a really nice and bright son." "I didn't understand when the police said it was an extreme choice under the circumstances, but after a few days (his son died), I opened my son's online messenger account and cried all night because I was so angry and sorry." and confided.



Person A claimed, "The coach's verbal abuse and favoritism, as well as insults and harassment of some of my friends, seem to have lasted for 4 months."



He added, "The son never told his mother and father that he was mentally exhausted. He only said that he loved playing soccer," he added.



Finally, Mr. A said, "Those who curse their son even when he dies will not know what they have done." He said, "I'm afraid that there will be another victim like my son. Parents with children who exercise must share many stories to protect their children. I hope you bet,” he pleaded.



As of 11 am today (3rd), more than 18,000 people have signed the petition.

Earlier, Gimpo FC posted on its website, "Gimpo FC youth player B left us and became a star in the sky. I wish you," he wrote.



Gimpo FC announced that it will attend a home match against Gwangju FC in 'Hana One Q K League 2 2022' to be held at Gimpo Salter Soccer Field on the 4th.



This is a 'news pick'.
