Crane mothers said "The waves left by a child and a parent who stayed for a while are truly enormous. Until a few days ago, the peaceful place where children sweated hard with hope has turned into a chaos."
And "I've been at the academy for many years, but there's never been a single corporal punishment. Excessive physical training before children's bones and muscles are cured is rather poisonous to the child, and he has never over-exercisedRegarding the atmosphere of the day that some of our parents accompanied Okinawa's off-season training, and that the parents and children also had corporal punishment, they all said, `We needed a turning point to change the atmosphere.' No one felt anything different or unusual about what happened on that day, and even the children were wondering what had happened" he said.
Chuncheon District Prosecutors' Office, which took over the case from the police, summoned three people, including head coach Sohn Heung-yoon and coach A, for the first time on the 2nd. Child B's side sued them in March, saying they were injured two weeks before being injured by a corner kick flag on their thighs from head coach Son during an off-season training in Okinawa, Japan.
Player B claimed that he was instructed by coach A to run from the goal post to the center line within 20 seconds because the team was defeated. However, when four people, including player B, failed to come in on time, he told the police that he was hit with a corner flag in a prone position.
The statement also included that he was verbally abused by coach Sohn for making mistakes during training and for not being able to train basic skills. In the accommodation where the academy's players live together, they were hit in the buttocks and calves by coach A several times, and the affidavit also included the claim that they pulled the sideburns or hit the head. The Gangwon National Police Agency sent three people, including head coach Sohn, to the prosecution in mid-April.

He also talked about director Son's sincerity. Parents would never say that a child is being abused like the parent who claims to be a victim, even if they have experienced the director even for a single day. "I've never met a leader who feels so sincere about his children in any club outside," he said. "I've never seen a leader who gives out passion on the playground every day, and I've never met a leader who smiles so brightly and hugs children. After the exercise, how to accept the appearance of coaches who hug each other and roll around with children, we really don't understand the parent and are full of resentment.
To athletes B and civic groups who called for a thorough investigation, civic groups who have never been to the stadium criticize the coach for being violent, and the sports ethics center, which has never looked at, is warning that it will visit the academy"The children in this place are happy, but for whom is the human rights and for whom is the investigation. Who's responsible for the damage our kids are doing training hard and sweating for their dreams. Parents who claim to be victims put their hands on their chests and ask, "Are you really proud?"
Parents also requested leniency from investigative and judicial institutions. They ask for leniency of the coach and coaches. We know their true feelings better than anyone else. People, civic groups, sports ethics centers! Please give us and our kids, as we have been, back to the routine of laughing, talking, messing around, sometimes crying, and nodding again with the coaches and coaches. Please think of our children who are silently moving toward their dreams today."
Parents plan to submit their statement to related agencies.
◇SON Soccer Academy Specialized in Parents' Entry
We are parents of children who are training hard at SON Soccer Academy. An investigation is underway against our directors and coaches due to a complaint from a child and a parent who recently left the academy. And there's a lot of interest from the media and the public about this.
The waves left by a child and a parent who stayed for a while are truly enormous. Until a few days ago, the peaceful place of life where children sweated hard with hope has turned into a chaos. Journalists approach the children and us who return from training every day, and drones from media companies fly around the playground. On the Internet, articles about the SON Soccer Academy are pouring out every day and countless comments are posted. The contact and DM pouring out to us are interfering with our livelihoods.
All responsibility will be taken on by himself, so the director's words to exercise confidently without being discouraged are overshadowed by the fact that the coaches and coaches who really cared about the children more than anyone else committed a felony on the Internet, and the playground, which was full of warmth, is full of gloom as children and coaches play together.
People who have never been to the playground criticize the director, who has never met him in person, as violent, and the sports ethics center, which has never given a glance, is warning that it will visit the academy.
The children who live here are happy, but for whom is the human rights for and for whom is the investigation. Who is responsible for the damage our children are doing, training hard for their dreams and sweating. Parents who claim to be victims are really proud with their hands on their chests.
"The world doesn't listen to the voices of the weak. They said life is a hardship. You have to make it bleed now to shine in your 20s, and you have to make it bleed more in your 20s to shine more in your 30s. You can't do it roughly. I don't even have a fuss about it."
In today's era, we and the kids joined the academy, following that simple lesson that neither school nor home can teach us. However, anyone who has experienced the director for a single day would never be able to say that a child is being abused like the parent who claims to be a victim.
I've never met a leader in any club outside who's felt like he was treating children so sincerely. I've never seen a leader who gives out passion on the playground every day, and I've never met a leader who smiles so brightly and hugs children.
After the exercise, we don't understand how to accept the appearance of coaches who hug each other and roll around with their children, and we really don't understand the parent and are full of resentment.
I've been at the academy for many years, but there's never been a single thing called corporal punishment. Before children's bones and muscles are cured, excessive physical training is rather poisonous to the child, and he has never exercised excessively.
Some of my parents accompanied me to the Okinawa training camp, and regarding the atmosphere of the day that both the parents and children had corporal punishment, "We needed a turning point to change the atmosphere"We're all saying in unison. No one felt anything different or unusual about what happened on that day, and even the children were wondering what happened.
Our parents are not supporting the director or saying that corporal punishment is justified. I would like to ask you to stop the people who have just gone through it casually, and the people outside put their own standards into it, turning the members of the academy into victims and harassing us as if they had committed a big crime.
Honorable prosecutor, judge! Please take care of the coaches and coaches. We know their true feelings better than anyone else. People, civic groups, sports ethics centers! Please give back to us and our children, as you have done so far, the routine of laughing, talking, messing around and sometimes crying and nodding back with the directors and coaches. Please think of our children who are silently moving toward their dreams today.
Please I beg you. Thank you.
On July 4, 2024, all players and parents of SON Soccer Academy
