On the 12th (Korea time), the Chinese portal "Sohu Dotcom" announced that many players (who received disciplinary action) expressed their dissatisfaction through various channels after the Korea Football Association announced the ban on soccer."In addition to Son Joon-ho, who played in Shandong Taishan, Wang Song (Shijiazhuang Gung Fu) and others refuted the allegations head-on.
'Sohoo Dotcom' interpreted that Son Joon-ho received 200,000 yuan (about 37 million won) from his colleague for unclear reasons as a kind of 'exposure'. "The match suspected of Son Jun-ho's involvement in match fixing is likely to be a 2-2 draw between Shandong Taishan and Shanghai Haigang in January 2022. The winning bonus provided by Shandong in the match was 160,000 yuan (about 30 million won), but Shandong did not win. However, five to six days after the game, (Son Joon-ho) received 200,000 yuan. Netizens are puzzled. 'Why did you give 200,000 yuan, and why did you get 200,000 yuan?' he said.

"What players do in some (matchmaking) games is to score the points that gamblers need. When the score finally comes out (which the gambler wants), the participants think that if they win the game as it is, it will never be considered match-fixing. Because of the idea that it didn't affect the outcome."
'Sohu Dotcom' is a real case. I'll keep it anonymous. A team with a long history played against a now-defunct central team. The home team led by scoring three goals in the first half alone. At half-time, the gambler called the director through a broker. Asked for two more goals in the second half, and got a positive answer. The final score of the match was 5-0. The gambler handicapted the home team, and the coaches and players involved are expected to receive bonuses. But the participants will think it was a real game, and that it makes sense to make money."
Numerous matches were played in this manner during the COVID-19 lockdown, according to Sohu Dotcom.
Based on a year-long collaborative investigation, the Chinese Ministry of Public Security and the Chinese Association disciplined 61 players and soccer workers on charges of anti-corruption and match fixing on the 10th. Son Joon-ho, who was released after being detained for 10 months for accepting non-state workers, was listed as one of 43 people who were permanently expelled. The CFA reportedly sent an official letter to FIFA on the 10th containing disciplinary action. FIFA, the top organization in soccer, will decide whether to ban international players playing in overseas leagues, including Son Joon-ho, based on CFA data.
Son Joon-ho claimed at a press conference that he made a false confession under the threat of Chinese police and never manipulated the match.
