The Sports Ethics Center under the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, led by Acting Director Han Min-soo Lee (President), announced on the 8th that it continues to provide post-case management for whistleblowers and victims even after a reported case is closed.

The center explained, "According to Article 18-6, Paragraph 1 of the National Sports Promotion Act, adverse measures against whistleblowers, victims, and those who provide investigations, statements, testimonies, or data related to the report are prohibited. In light of this, the center determined that proactive management is necessary to prevent secondary victimization even after a case is closed."

It further emphasized, "Currently, the center is implementing post-case management through regular notifications for cases involving disciplinary action requests. The management method involves a combination of text and phone notifications, conducting checks at one month, three months, six months, nine months, and 12 months after case closure, ensuring monitoring for at least one year."

The center added, "Through such post-case management, the center will regularly check for secondary victimization among whistleblowers and victims and plans to link rapid interventions, such as separation measures, and victim support in the event of any harm."

Han Min-soo, Acting Director of the Sports Ethics Center Lee (President), stated, "The Sports Ethics Center will continue to monitor the recovery status of whistleblowers and victims in closed cases and will not neglect efforts to prevent secondary victimization. Through proactive victim support, we aim to facilitate substantive recovery and ensure seamless execution of the center's role even after case closure, thereby enhancing trust among institutional investors."
