'Illegal filming → 1 year in prison + 2 years of probation confirmed Hwang Ui-jo's continued career in Turkey for the first time in the season

Sep 18, 2025

Hwang Ui-jo recorded his first help of the season.

Hwang Ui-jo's team, Alania Spor, had a 2-2 draw against Fenerbahce in the first round of the Turkiye Schiffer League in the 2025-2026 season at the Fenerbahce Shikru Sarazolu Stadium in Istanbul, Turkiye on the 18th (Korea time). Alania Spor placed seventh in the league.

Hwang Ui-jo started in the 3-4-2-1 formation as a left striker of 2. Hwang Ui-jo recorded help in Alania Spor's counterattack in the 18th minute of the first half. Hwang Ui-jo, who was holding out at the halfway line, helped his team score the first goal with an exquisite pass to Ibrahim Kaya, who penetrated to the other side.

Since then, there have been no performances. Because Fenerbahce ran the game unilaterally, Alania Spor failed to attack properly. Despite Andersson Taliska's penalty miss, Fenerbahce succeeded in turning the tables with consecutive goals from Nelsong Semedu and Youssef Ennesiri. Hwang Ui-jo was replaced in the 29th minute of the second half. Alania Spor managed to bring in one point with a dramatic equaliser in second-half stoppage time.

Hwang Ui-jo is continuing to start as a second-term starting resource after signing a two-year contract renewal with Alania Spor this season. This help was the first offensive point of the season.

However, despite his performance in the Turkiye League, Hwang Ui-jo's appearance is being shunned by Korean fans. He brought this on himself. This is because of the incident that began with the revelation of Hwang Ui-jo's privacy in June last year. The incident, which began when Hwang Ui-jo's brother-in-law circulated a video of Hwang Ui-jo's private life, became an opportunity for Hwang Ui-jo's illegal filming crime to be known to the world.

During the investigation of Hwang Ui-jo's case, Hwang Ui-jo was converted to a suspect. This was because illegal filming of the video without the consent of the other party was detected. Two victims were identified, and Hwang Ui-jo was indicted without detention. Until the first trial proceeded, Hwang Ui-jo adamantly pleaded not guilty.

However, suddenly in the first trial, Hwang Ui-jo admitted his guilt and demanded leniency. The first trial court sentenced Hwang to one year in prison and two years of probation. The first trial court "Given the seriousness of social harm caused by illegal filming crimes, it is necessary to punish strictly." The reason for the sentence was explained by saying, "The sex scene was filmed against the intention using a mobile phone four times, and the crime was not good in light of the number of crimes and the details of the filming."

Despite pleading guilty, Hwang Ui-jo went through an appeal process. Hwang Ui-jo tried to reach an agreement with the victim, but the victim wanted strong punishment. The appellate court upheld the first trial's ruling. After the trial, Hwang Ui-jo said, "I sincerely apologize to the victim who suffered great damage. I've been receiving overflowing love, but I've betrayed my trust and been greatly disappointed by my fault. I'm just ashamed that I can't raise my head to everyone who cared and trusted me. From now on, I will only focus on soccer and do my best to become more mature so that I can restore trust to soccer fans and those who support me" announced its position.

Hwang Ui-jo and the victim did not proceed with the appeal process. Hwang Ui-jo returned to his team, but it is no longer possible to play in Korea. This is because no team will try to recruit a player whose brother has been confirmed.

The response is that it is also surprising to continue his career in Turkiye. Alania Spor, who re-signed a player who was convicted of illegal filming, is unusual.
