Ulsan CEO Kim Kwang-guk apologized on the club’s official channel on the 28th. The content recently bowed to Park Yong-woo, Lee Myung-jae, Lee Kyu-sung, Jung Seung-hyun and former team managers’ racist conversations on social network services (SNS).

The Ulsan club was also fined 30 million won to take responsibility for managing the team. Jung Seung-hyun was excluded from disciplinary action because he did not mention racism. 토토

Ulsan, which had been struggling for six days after the federation’s disciplinary action was confirmed, posted an apology. Representative Kim said, “The club will officially deliver an apology and an explanation of the incident to Chumsa-rak, who heard racist remarks. In addition, he said, “I will deliver an accurate explanation and apology to the club and its association to which the player belongs.”

Ulsan said, “As judged by the Federation’s reward and punishment committee, there is no intention of derogation or ridicule, but when it is opened to a third party, it does not end with their own conversation.” “I learned a lesson from someone that it can be discrimination with wounds,” he said. “The team, coaches, and the front desk will all recognize the severity of the weight and act.”
