On the 25th, the 21st Civil Affairs Department (Chief Judge Kim Jung-min) of the Seoul Eastern District Court decided to suspend the effect of the one-year suspension of qualification issued by the Korea Skating Union to A. In June last year, the Ice Rink Federation suspended A for one year for sexual harassment, judging that A filmed a fellow national representative, Lee Hae-in, during a training camp and showed it to a third party.
In December last year, A filed for a suspension of disciplinary effect with the Seoul Eastern District Court, saying, `I did not show the picture of the understanding to a third party.' Lee Hae-in is also said to have submitted a petition to the effect that he has not been sexually harassed by A after confirming the facts after the disciplinary action of the Skating Union.
The court cannot conclude that the photographing of the case itself is an act of causing sexual humiliation or disgust, with no data to be considered to have been shown or distributed to others since the photographing of the case was taken"I raised A's hand.
Despite the disciplinary action, A continues training with the goal of participating in the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina D'Ampezzo. The court's provisional injunction has restored the athlete's status and qualification to select the national team and will be able to compete in the Winter Olympics.
According to the Ice Federation's national team selection regulations, those who have been suspended for more than a year for sexual violence-related misconduct are excluded from the national team selection. According to the existing disciplinary action, the national flag cannot be worn even if the suspension period ends in June.
Meanwhile, A will not make a separate statement until the ongoing figure skating world championships are over.
