Hwang Dae-heon (Gangwon Provincial Office), a national short track speed skater, has spoken directly about various controversies surrounding him. He explained the controversy over the recent conflict with Park Ji-won (Seoul Metropolitan Government) and the past unsavory incident with Lin Xiaojun (Korean name Lim Hyo-jun).

Hwang Dae-heon said through his agency Ryan At on the 6th, "Since he has not expressed a separate position on various controversies, the contents that are different from the facts are known as true. I want to correct this," he said.

The first part mentioned is the incident with Lim Hyo-joon at Jincheon Training Center in June 2019. At that time, Hwang Dae-heon reported to the Korea Skating Union, saying he felt sexual shame due to Lim Hyo-joon's pranks during training, and Lim Hyo-joon, who was disciplined, later naturalized to China. The case was finally acquitted in court in 2021.

Hwang Dae-heon said, "I was ashamed and embarrassed at the time, but Lim Hyo-joon made fun of me while dancing. Afterwards, I kept teasing him in training, and I felt it was ignored and ridiculed," he confessed. "Even after the incident, Lim Hyo-joon banged the door when I saw him and did not apologize separately. When the police asked me if I wanted to punish Lim Hyo-joon, I didn't answer, but I'm not sure how it led to the criminal case," he explained.

He also explained the situation at the time that made him doubt the authenticity of the apology. Hwang Dae-heon said, "Im Hyo-joon apologized to me ahead of the first disciplinary committee. As soon as I was finished, I asked for a signature on the confirmation letter, and Lim Hyo-joon's apology did not sound sincere, he said. "I was also investigated by the police as a suspect, not a victim."

However, he said, "It wasn't supposed to be like this, but it's a pity that it's an irreversible situation," and added, "I hope we can meet in person and solve the misunderstandings and compete."

He also explained the recent controversy over "team kill" with his teammate Park Ji-won. Hwang Dae-heon said, "I have a strong desire to win and try to overtake aggressively. However, he drew the line, saying, "I have never intentionally tried to disturb or harm anyone." "It is impossible to play without contact and collision due to short track events, but we will try not to be misleading," he said.

Regarding his relationship with Park Ji-won, he said, "I personally and through my agency, I constantly told (Park) Ji-won that I wanted to meet him and apologize, and after some time, I was able to meet him and apologize. I am grateful for Ji-won's heart," he added.

Regarding being on the cutting board in the past for his unfaithful interview attitude, he bowed his head, saying, "If you don't speak well and you're embarrassed, it's because of the lack of it."

The agency Ryan At explained the background of the announcement, saying, "The purpose is to correct misinformation and misunderstandings about Hwang Dae-heon and sincerely look back on his shortcomings."

For the time being, it is unlikely to see Hwang Dae-heon playing for the national team. The agency said, "Hwang Dae-heon is not participating in the national team selection match because he is currently psychologically and physically tired," adding, "We will decide to participate in the domestic competition in consideration of the player's condition."
