According to the Seoul Football Association on the 5th, the association's Sports Fair Committee decided to suspend A from FCBK for 10 years. A approached the back of the opponent's FC Pida and hit him in the back of the head with his elbow during the Seoul Citizens League qualifying game held at Hyochang Stadium in Yongsan-gu, Seoul on the 24th of last month. This scene spread on social media and shocked soccer fans.
The victim was diagnosed with concussion symptoms and back injury for six weeks. At that time, the referee did not see A assaulting the victim. However, he decided that the victim, who had been lying on the ground for a while, stood up and shook his fist toward A, and immediately took action to leave.
The Sports Fair Trade Commission disciplined A after the fact based on the video submitted by FC Pida, the victim's team, and A's written statement. Apart from the withdrawal of the Sports Fair Commission, the victim is reported to be in the process of filing a complaint against A.
FCBK said on the club's SNS that "'violent acts on the playground cannot be justified under any circumstances' and immediately released the player, and the club also decided to suspend all activities for the time being and have time for self-reflection'.
