"If there was any other assault or verbal abuse, I would not direct."

Former Ulsan HD coach Shin Tae-yong denied 'assault rumors'. Coach Shin visited the Hana Bank K League 2025 Awards Ceremony at the Swiss Grand Hotel Convention Center in Hongeun-dong, Seoul on the 1st. It was to celebrate Shin Jae-won (Seongnam), who was named in the K League 2 Best 11.

However, with veteran Ulsan defender Jung Seung-hyun's remarks the day before, coach Shin was at the center of the topic again. Coach Shin slapped Jung Seung-hyun in the face at the Ulsan team's meeting. The video went around the soccer world. Jeong Seung-hyun, born in 1994, is a senior and the head of a family. He shared the 2016 Rio Olympics with coach Shin, but it was nine years ago.




After the final match against Jeju SK on the 30th of last month, Jung Seung-hyun said "I felt really bad." I thought, 'Is this right?' There have been many times. "It's out of line with today's times," he said. "'Even if you think it's sexual violence or assault, it's not me, if you think it's assault from the perspective of the recipient."

It is true that there were many problems. I think that the position will be accurately conveyed in that area," he added. He said there were several other incidents. Jung Seung-hyun "There are so many that I can't think of it well. There are a lot of things. It is not easy to talk about all that here. To be honest, the players were in a really tough situation, and what they went through is actually..."

Confronted by reporters, coach Shin said, `Jung Seung-hyun is a participant who accompanied me to the Olympics and the World Cup. He was also the last player to meet when he left Ulsan. He also said to me 'I'm sorry to the director' I didn't know why they did such an interview when they said goodbye like that. I think I should ask myself."




Then "I didn't mean anything else. Who would assault at the first meeting. It was all about expressing my pleasure to meet you after a long time. "That was too much. If Seunghyun thought it was assault, I'm sorry." Finally, he said, `I don't know what the club will say, but I'll just wait and see"If there was any other assault, I would not supervise it. I wouldn't do it if I used such violence and abusive language", denying the allegations of further assault.
