On the 12th, Yoo Jin-hong was caught by police after colliding with a guardrail while driving under the influence of alcohol, and Yoo Kyung-min was in the vehicle at the time.
Yu Jin-hong was suspended for 15 K-League games and fined 4 million won, while Yoo Kyung-min was issued a warning. The suspension applies only during the period of qualification to play as a registered K-League player.
In December 2018, the federation strengthened the level of disciplinary action for drunk driving through the revision of the reward and punishment regulations, and if the drunk driving is concealed without reporting it to the club, the punishment can be aggravated. In particular, since this year, the team has been conducting tour training to raise awareness of various misconduct, including drunk driving.

After the 16th round of the K League 2 against Busan on the 15th, Valdivia posted a post on his SNS criticizing the referee's decision in five languages along with the game scene. "I don't know who's worse, the referee or the assistant referee! There's no VAR in Jeonnam's favor, we can't even check the game," he wrote.
Disciplinary standards for each type of K-League reward and punishment regulation allow sanctions to be imposed for negative comments on referee decisions or slander post-judgment and judgment through media that can be delivered to the public, such as interviews or SNS immediately after the game. The reward and punishment committee decided that Valdivia's post was a negative reference to the referee's decision, so it was disciplined as such.
