Yang Hyeon-jong, president of the Korea Professional Baseball Association, said, `Our professional baseball players need the attention and love of their fans to be meaningful, so I think we can accept healthy criticism or affectionate advice about the players themselves`However, I don't think that the perpetrators who threaten and sexually harass their family members or acquaintances are professional baseball fans, and in this case, it seems right to take a strong legal action.' We also prepared the signing ceremony with the aim of eradicating malicious cases in the future by responding strongly to unconventional acts that cross the line, but we hope that this will not lead to a situation where legal disputes arise due to the effect of guiding and curbing the occurrence," he added.
