The legal battle between Ki Sung-yueng (37, Pohang Steelers) and his junior, who claimed to have been sexually assaulted by him in elementary school, will continue into the second trial.

According to the legal community on the 2nd, the Seoul High Court's Civil Affairs Department 13 (Chief Judge Moon Kwang-seop) has designated the first hearing date of the appeal trial of Ki Sung-yueng's claim for damages against A on March 20.

The incident began in 2021 when Ki Sung-yueng's juniors A and B revealed that they were sexually assaulted by their seniors from January to June 2000 when they were in the soccer team of an elementary school in Jeollanam-do. At the time, they did not mention the real name of the perpetrator, but Ki Sung-yueng was pointed out in the circumstances, causing a stir.

In response, Ki Sung-yueng appealed for innocence and filed a civil lawsuit worth 500 million won with a criminal complaint against them. The first trial held in July last year ruled in favor of some of the plaintiffs, saying, "A and B should jointly pay 100 million won to Ki Sung-yueng." Shortly after the first trial, B gave up his appeal and the ruling was confirmed, but A objected and proceeded with the second trial.

Meanwhile, the police concluded the investigation with "no charges" in August 2023, judging that both Ki Sung-yueng's allegations of sexual violence and the defamation of the revelers were insufficient in evidence.
