The Korea Professional Football League has imposed a suspension on Busan IPark forward Christian, who was caught drunk driving, banning him from participating in K League official matches for 60 days.

On the 8th, the league officially announced that it has suspended Christian, who was caught drunk driving and reported to police, from playing in K League official matches for 60 days.

Through this measure, the league will first prohibit Christian from participating in matches and plans to convene a disciplinary committee later to impose formal sanctions.

A suspension is an interim measure that temporarily halts a target's activities related to the K League for up to 60 days (extendable to a maximum of 90 days) when misconduct causes social controversy or damages K League values and it is difficult to conduct disciplinary committee review within a short period.

Earlier, the Busan club also announced the fact through its official channel on this day and released an apology statement.

Busan confirmed that its player Christian was caught drunk driving on September 7. The club expressed sincere apologies to fans who have trusted and supported Busan IPark for causing disappointment and concern.

The club further stated, "Upon learning of the incident on that day, we immediately convened an emergency player management committee to exclude the player from training and team activities and reported the matter to the Korea Professional Football League." It added, "We are taking this matter seriously and will proceed with strict follow-up measures in accordance with relevant regulations based on confirmed facts and investigation results. We will re-examine and strengthen our player management and education systems to prevent recurrence."
