Lawyer Lee Eun-eui, the victim's representative in Hwang Ui-jo's illegal filming case, and former lawmaker Kim Eun-hee, a former tennis player, said, `We will receive a petition to the Korea Sports Council at 2 p.m. on the 22nd calling for disciplinary action against Hwang Ui-jo, a former national soccer player.'
Through the petition, they asked for four things: ▶ Determining the initiation and permanent removal of official disciplinary proceedings against Hwang Ui-jo ▶ Leaving disciplinary decisions and reasons as official records so that they can be used as reasons for disqualification during future registration examinations ▶ Establishing a system to reflect the same criminal judgment even if you are not a registered player in Korea ▶ Establishing a zero tolerance principle that athletes who commit sex crimes cannot stand on the domestic stage. 'This case is an important criterion for how the Korean sports community responds to the issue of sex crimes. We urge the Korean Sports Council to contribute to the protection of victims and the restoration of trust in the sports community by taking strict measures based on the National Sports Promotion Act and the registration regulations of athletes.
Hwang Ui-jo was indicted without detention in July last year on charges of violating the Sexual Violence Punishment Act (filming using cameras) for illegally filming sex videos without the consent of two other women in June-September 2022, and appealed after being sentenced to one year in prison and two years of probation in the first trial. Since then, both Hwang Ui-jo and the prosecution have given up their appeals, and this sentence has been confirmed.
According to Article 11-5 of the National Sports Promotion Act, if a person is sentenced to imprisonment or higher and suspended for violating the Special Act on Sexual Violence, he/she shall not be registered as a sports leader for 20 years after the end of the probation. According to Article 14 of the Regulations on Registration of Players of the Korea Sports Association and the Korea Football Association, he/she shall not be registered as a player if he/she is disciplined by related organizations for expulsion, suspension, dismissal, etc. In addition, if a person is sentenced to imprisonment or probation for sexual violence crimes, he/she cannot be registered as a leader, judge, and player management officer for 20 years. According to Article 17 (4) of the Korean Football Association's National Team Operation Regulations, it is not possible to select a national team member for two years from the expiration of the grace period for the imprisonment type and probation period, and according to Article 14 of the Korea Football Association's Fair Commission Operation Regulations, it is possible to expel the perpetrator of sexual violence, which is the highest level of disciplinary action.
According to these regulations, Hwang Ui-jo, whose sentence has already been confirmed, cannot be registered as a player, leader, referee, and player management officer in Korea for the next 20 years. If the Fair Trade Commission of the association considers Hwang Ui-jo, who has already been suspended as a national representative, to be able to dismiss a person who committed sexual violence, such as causing extreme sexual shame, such as filming or disseminating the crime processIt is also possible to expel the child according to the regulation of '. The will of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Sports Council is also strong. On the 18th, Kim Dae-hyun, the second vice minister of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, came up with a mechanism to complement and punish what had ended in one step in relation to sexual violence and violence cases in the sports world"He has expressed a strong commitment to fair sports. There are regulations or legal grounds for resolutely dealing with sexual violence and violence in the sports world, and the victim's representative submitted a petition to urge prompt implementation and the operation of official disciplinary procedures.
Attorney Lee and former lawmaker Kim, who are representatives of the victims, said in a petition to the Korea Sports Council that the Hwang Ui-jo case is a case in which a suspended sentence of imprisonment has been confirmed for violating the Special Act on Sexual Violence, and domestic registration should be blocked in accordance with the National Sports Promotion Act and the Korean Sports Council's registration regulationsHe urged the Korea Sports Association and the Korea Football Association to take immediate disciplinary action, saying, "'If there is no disciplinary record, there must be a record of disciplinary action, and if there is no disciplinary record, the grounds for blocking registration will disappear when Hwang Ui-jo attempts to return to Korea in the future.'"
