The disciplinary committee of the Korea Professional Football League has decided to continue its deliberations regarding an assault incident within the Jeonnam Dragons squad, a team in K League 2.
On the 5th, the league stated, "The disciplinary committee meeting held today concerning the assault between Jeonnam players has been adjourned to grant both players' sides the opportunity to submit additional materials and to ensure the parties involved sufficient opportunities for statement. The follow-up deliberation will be conducted at 3 p.m. on the 17th."
Previously, on the 22nd of last month, the Jeonnam club announced through its official channels that "recently, there were regrettable incidents involving alcohol consumption by some players and bullying between players within the squad," adding that "after grasping the facts, the club immediately expelled those involved as a deterrent to prevent future occurrences."
According to sources in the football industry, suspicions have been raised that Player A, who was released from the Jeonnam club, frequently summoned Player B and habitually assaulted him. Subsequently, following an investigation, the club expelled Player A, and the league referred Player A to the disciplinary committee after receiving a fact-verification document through the Jeonnam club.
Although Player A has already been expelled by the club, the league has not yet approved his withdrawal from player registration in order to refer him to the disciplinary committee. If sanctions such as a suspension are determined through the disciplinary committee, Player A will first have to serve the league-level sanction before being able to participate in matches, even if he joins another club in the future.
