A senior executive at Chelsea FC in the English Premier League was fired after it was revealed that he had sexually harassed a Korean agent.
On the 20th local time, local media such as the British Telegraph and Sky Sports reported that Chelsea FC commercial director Damien Willoughby sent several sexual messages and videos to Mr. A, a Korean who works as a European football agent.
According to local media, it was revealed that Willoughby sent sexual text messages and explicit videos to Mr. A in July, such as "I'm naked".
In the process, it was found that Mr. A continued to refuse Willoughby.

In the end, Mr. A delivered the message he received from Willoughby to Chelsea Chairman Tom Glick, and the club recognized the fact and took action, such as terminating the contract with Willoughby.
The club said through a spokesperson that it had "immediately terminated his contract with Willoughby's commercial director" and said, "(Walloughby) has seen an inappropriate message sent before joining Chelsea FC earlier this month." "It's a matter of course, but it's against the new culture of the club."
Willoughby's dismissal came about two weeks after he was appointed as the club's director, and he is said to have failed to respond to local media calls for an explanation.
