After the report, it became known that an incumbent professional volleyball player was under investigation, and the club excluded the player from training and games.



First of all, I am reporter Lee Tae-kwon.

It has been confirmed that Jo Jae-seong, a striker of the professional volleyball OK Savings Bank team, was involved in corruption in the military service with epilepsy.



Jo, who is 27 years old this year, was judged first grade in his early 20s, and in 2020, the third grade, which is the active target, came out.



However, after being suddenly diagnosed with 'epilepsy' in January of last year, in February of this year, he was reduced to a grade 4 supplementary role for social workers.



It is known that through an expert channel on a portal site, Jo met with a former military inspector-turned-military broker Moo Mo and handed over 10 million won for counseling.



On the 21st, Jo was notified of an attendance investigation from the Seoul Southern District Prosecutor's Office, where a joint investigation team was set up on the 21st.



On the 25th, he was reported to have informed the club that he was the subject of an investigation.



OK Savings Bank revealed the fact today, one day after the SBS report.



He stressed that he would be excluded from the club and apply a zero-tolerance policy.



[OK Savings Bank team official: We have taken measures to exclude the player from all training courses or games, and if the player is found guilty of a crime, the club will strictly treat it with zero tolerance.]



Player Jo has been confirmed as a separate person from the existing seven people who have already been investigated by the prosecution for suspicion of corruption in the military service with epilepsy.



Previously, Mr. Goo, a broker, was arrested and indicted on charges of receiving 100 million won from 7 people in return for advising him to go to the hospital with him as a guardian and tell him how to get diagnosed with epilepsy or to call 119 and obtain related records after pretending to have a seizure. That's it.



Jo did not respond to reporters' calls for comment.
