The Korea Professional Football Federation held the 13th reward and punishment committee on the 23rd and decided to discipline Kim Byung-oh and Ham Sun-woo of Hwaseong FC.

Kim Byung-oh was disciplined after the fact. In the match against Suwon Samsung held on the 19th, Kim Byung-oh hit the neck with his elbow in the process of competing with the opponent in the air ball in the Suwon camp around the first minute of the first half. At that time, the referee issued a warning to Kim Byung-oh along with a foul declaration. However, the Korea Football Association's judging committee judged at a professional evaluation panel meeting that Kim Byung-oh's foul was a violent act outside the scope of legitimate competition and constituted a sent-off foul.

The federation's reward and punishment committee decided to impose a two-game suspension on Kim Byung-oh, which is equivalent to the decision to leave, by combining the opinions of the Korea Football Association's judging committee and the federation's technical committee. The suspension will be applied from the 36th round match against Seongnam.




Ham Sun-woo also received heavy punishment. Ham Sun-woo was suspended for two games and fined 2 million won. Ham Sun-woo continued to complain to the referee when a penalty was declared for his handball foul in the second half of the match against Suwon. Later, as a result of the on-field review, when the original trial was maintained, he took a hand gesture to insult the referee.

The K-League reward and punishment regulations allow players to take disciplinary measures such as imposing sanctions or suspending business trips if they act insulting the referee, protesting excessively against the referee's decision, or expressing violent complaints.
