(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Kim Do-hoon = Son Woong-jung, the father of the national soccer team Son Heung-min, is waiting for the event to start at the fan meeting venue to commemorate the release of the Adidas F50 held at Times Square in Yeongdeungpo, Seoul, on the afternoon of the 6th. 2024.7.6
Three people, including Son Heung-min's father Son Woong-jung, who was accused of child abuse, including swearing and corporal punishment, were summarily indicted.

According to Yonhap News, Chuncheon District Prosecutors' Office announced on the 30th that it briefly prosecuted Son, head coach Son Heung-yoon, and coach A, who run the 'SON Soccer Academy'. However, it did not disclose the amount of the fine.

Summary prosecution is a procedure in which the prosecution asks the court to impose fines or fines only through written hearings instead of handing them over to a formal trial. If the parties or the courts do not express their intention to go to a formal trial, the sentence will be finalized.



The prosecution briefly prosecuted director Son and others and imposed an order to complete the child abuse treatment program. However, it did not request an order to restrict employment to child-related institutions.

According to the victim, B player, Son and others recently deposited a total of 6 million won, 2 million won each, in the court. However, the victim's child replied that he would not seek the deposit.



Player B sued them in March, saying he was injured by two weeks before being injured by a corner kick flag on his thigh from head coach Son during a training camp in Okinawa, Japan.

Player B claimed that he was instructed by the coach 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 the coach several times, and the affidavit also included the claim that they pulled the sideburns or hit the head.

The Gangwon Police Agency, which investigated the case, sent three people, including director Sohn, to the prosecution in mid-April. Director Sohn said, `I deeply apologize to the hurt child and his family members, and I am sorry and sorry to the people for causing such controversy.' `However, since the facts of the complainant are different from the truth, the academy is actively cooperating with the investigation by revealing the facts without distorting or hiding the facts" he said.

Director Son also emphasizes 'Basic Skills' to children all the time and trains them for a long time. This time is not usually hard and boring for children, but I don't like children who show indolence and raise their concentration because I have to overcome that moment to grow further`````.

And there's no intention of saying that you haven't done what you haven't done, and there's no intention of saying that you've done what you haven't done. I will reflect on the change of the times and the fact that I only guided children in my own way without catching the standards set by the law. I will find another way for all members of the academy to think and think about it so that children can concentrate on the playground and concentrate on training"I promised.
