On the 13th, the Professional Federation announced a suspension of activities in accordance with the K-League reward and punishment regulations. 'Suspension of activity' is a measure to temporarily suspend K-League-related activities for 60 days (up to 90 days) if it is difficult to deliberate by the reward and punishment committee for misconduct that causes social controversy or undermines the value of the K-League within a short period of time. The professional federation will hold a reward and punishment committee later to take formal disciplinary action.
Jeollanam-do also issued an apology on social media. The club said 'On the night of the 12th, it was confirmed that Yoo Jin-hong was driving under the influence of alcohol and Yoo Kyung-min was in the vehicle. As soon as he was aware of the fact, he reported it to the Korea Professional Football Association. At the moment, the federation is considering related measures in accordance with K-League regulations'
And as soon as the results of the investigation by the relevant agencies are released, the club will take follow-up measures quickly and sternly in accordance with the relevant regulations. We sincerely apologize for causing concern and disappointment to our fans during the season' The club takes this matter seriously and will strengthen drunk driving prevention education for all members, including the team, to prevent similar things from happening again in the future.
