Kim Jin-ya opened his personal SNS on the 4th and said, "I'm sorry for causing concern to soccer fans over this unfortunate incident."After saying "I'm sorry about the problems that have arisen regarding the exception of military service, which is a sensitive part of the province, but I have never inflated my volunteer work."
A media outlet reported that Kim Jin-ya ruled against the plaintiff in a lawsuit filed against the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, asking for the cancellation of the warning regarding the public service of sports personnel. Kim Jin-ya, who received special military service benefits through winning the gold medal at the Jakarta-Palembang Asian Games in 2018, inflated his volunteer work hours by about 10 hours while completing the 544-hour mandatory volunteer work period, and the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism issued a warning in July 2023 saying that he falsely submitted his volunteer work results.
In response, Kim Jin-ya said, `Public service activities are conducted by institutions and organizations in accordance with the previous plan submitted to the Korea Football Association, but photos are taken every 30 minutes using an application that lists the date, time, and place, so unless the photos are manipulated, the performance cannot be falsely inflatedIf you send a photo of the activity to the agent after conducting the service activity, the agent will prepare, submit, and confirm the service activity confirmation, and the agent made a mistake in the process of preparing the service confirmation, and the part pointed out as a problem was corrected and submitted" he said.
"However, the warning disposition received from the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism was valid, and 578 hours of service were completed as of December 31, 2023, adding 34 hours of additional service time following the warning disposition in addition to 544 hours of compulsory service activities."It is impossible to inflate the performance of the service unless the photograph is manipulated, and I worked diligently for 578 hours," he reiterated.
Kim Jin-ya said "Since I am responsible for delegating the work to the agent, I will also take responsibility and take care of everything in the future so as not to disappoint soccer fans" he said.
Kim Jin-ya, a fast full-back, made his professional debut in Incheon in 2017 and has been in Seoul since 2020. He participated in the Jakarta-Asian Games and the 2020 Tokyo Olympics with the love of Jeju coach Kim Hak-beom.
