The Lotte Giants squad has been embroiled in a controversy over alleged access to the game site and sexual harassment in Taiwan, the site of the spring camp.

CCTV footage was released on multiple online communities on the 13th, showing some Lotte players entering what appeared to be a Taiwanese game room and touching the body parts of a woman working there.

The date marked in the video is February 12th. A total of three players entered the stadium only in the released video. Two of them are the main players.

According to CCTV footage, some players touched body parts in the process of calling a woman who appeared to be an employee.

Controversy is spreading among baseball fans when the video is released. When asked about the video, a Lotte official told Star News, "We are checking the facts."

The Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) is also watching closely. A KBO official told Star News on the phone, "We haven't heard from the club about the issue yet, but we're aware of it."

If the video turns out to be true, the wavelength is expected to be large.

First of all, gambling is illegal in Taiwan. Gambling in any place with wealth is prohibited. Legal punishment is expected to be inevitable if the game hall is found to be an illegal gambling place.

In addition, since the touch of a part of the body is confirmed by CCTV footage, controversy over the alleged sexual harassment is expected to be inevitable.

Meanwhile, Lotte's team began its first spring camp schedule in Tainan, Taiwan, on the 25th of last month. A total of 41 players participated in the Lotte camp, including 20 pitchers, 5 catchers, 9 infielders and 7 outfielders.

The first off-season training will focus on strengthening physical strength and technical training at the Tainan Asia-Pacific International Baseball Center by the 20th. During this period, the team plans to boost its sense of practice through two practice games with the Taiwanese professional baseball (CPBL) team.

Lotte's second training camp will be held in Miyazaki, Japan. It runs from February 21 to March 5. The Miyazaki camp will participate in the Koochun League for two consecutive years to check their sense of play. He will play a total of four games with the Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) teams including Yomiuri, Seibu and Orix. It is also scheduled to face its sister club Chiba Lotte on March 1 in the Guchun League.
