Kunimoto Takahiro (29, Liaoning Tian), who was active in Jeonbuk Hyundai and Gyeongnam FC in the K League 1 in the past, left the Korean stage in disgrace due to the drunk driving incident, is in another trouble while living in China. It has continued its difficult time, with rumors of an unfounded wife impersonation.

Chinese media "Sina Sports" reported on the 21st (Korea Standard Time) that "Kunimoto's wife's recent online criticism of the club turned out to be fake," adding, "It is not true that Kunimoto made a major decision regarding his future after he was eliminated from the team."

According to local reports, Kunimoto's wife was suspected of attacking the club on social networking services (SNS), blaming her husband for not being able to play as a main player. However, after checking "Sina Sports," Kunimoto's wife did not have an SNS account in China. Someone impersonated Kunimoto's wife and spread false information.

Kunimoto immediately visited his team's coach and explained. According to the media, Kunimoto explained, "My wife's rumor of shooting the club is completely groundless," adding, "I will fully follow the team's decision, whether it is a starter or a candidate."

However, fans are still dissatisfied. Kunimoto's key midfielder, who led his team's promotion to the top division with five goals and 18 assists last season, has played only 58 minutes until the second round this season. According to "Sina Sports," supporters are strongly suspicious of the coach's mercenary skills, saying, "Why put Kunimoto, a proven resource, on the bench."

Kunimoto has been called the devil's talent for his frequent gossip throughout his career. After entering the K-League through Gyeongnam in 2018, he reigned as a top K-League 1 playmaker in Jeonbuk, but was kicked out in July 2022 after being terminated due to drunk driving.

Kunimoto even became the protagonist of an absurd happening in January, returning to his former team Liaoning, citing a setback in contract execution 13 days after he was announced to join Yanbian Longing. At that time, it was such an unusual transfer fuss that even the club explained, "The world is like a chess game and cannot be predicted."
