On the 11th, the Sports Ethics Center decided to demand disciplinary action from the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism after judging that all three leaders, Son ○○ and Jung ○○, were found guilty of violence against their players in connection with the 'SON Football Academy's violence case.' In accordance with Article 16 (1) of the Deliberative Committee Regulations, it was decided to ask the Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism to demand disciplinary action against all respondents from the relevant sports organizations.
If the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism sends an official request for disciplinary action to the Korean Sports and Olympic Committee, it is a procedure in which the Korean Sports and Olympic Committee demands disciplinary action against the accused through the local sports association or the Korea Football Association. In accordance with the National Sports Promotion Act, the relevant organization must vote on disciplinary action within 90 days. Whether to take light disciplinary action or severe disciplinary action is decided by the relevant organization's Sports Fair Committee.
The reporter reported to the Sports Ethics Center in March last year that there were abusive language and physical punishment by Son Woong-jung and Son ○○ coach during Okinawa training, and the Sports Ethics Center received reports, statements, and phone transcripts and conducted an investigation. Director Sohn and three others received a summary order of 3 million won each and 40 hours of child abuse treatment programs from the Chuncheon District Court in October last year on charges of physically and emotionally abusing the victim (violation of the Child Welfare Act).
